For a non footballing nation we did exceptional to get into the semis.
2023 FIFA World Cup
A community to speak about the World Cup happening in Australia and New Zealand.
Talk about games you saw!
I was definitely rooting for the Matildas. Very exciting team to watch. Kerr's goal today was stunning.
All around a great job by these ladies at the cup, they have lots to be proud of.
Poms are gonna waste time like nothing else.
Could be 10 minutes added on, with only 20 minutes to go....
This could be the slowest coldest death to watch 🍿
gg England.
Let me be the first to say Arriba España
I was too scared I would jinx it last time haha
SEE?? jinxed
Be the luck you want to see, grasshopper 😜
If it’s still 1-0 at 85 minutes we sacrifice them to the gods though, right? 🤨

Why bother posting that?
I assume you weren't interested in it,so why seek out somewhere and post that?
I was interested while we had a chance to win.
Like most Australians were.
Thanks! Upvoted!
It's contributions like yours that helps grow communities 😀
I just realised this was the fifa community. It must have been crossposted to the Australian community which is where I saw it, and what guided my sooky comment.
My bad.
Welp!
That is a dagger 🗡️
Just gonna file this one right next to my Johnny Wilkinson memories.. deep deep down..
Who would’ve thunk huh… thank god for the ashes
Sigh
Oh well. England were too good, Matilda’s still played well. I reckon we’ve got the edge on Sweden for 3rd.
Hope so. Lots of chances there in the 2nd half. Just shows the quality of our players. Very proud.

Well shit…
I've never been that interested in soccer. I played it is school but that was it. I didn't even know Saturday's game was on until I saw social media when it was over.
But you better believe I'm watching it tonight. There's probably a lot of people like me coming out of the woodwork.
Go the Matilda's!!
We need to give them back their heroes!
Sammmyyyyyy
How good was that goal!!!
Vine should have subbed in earlier, wasnt Raso's game. They picked up energy toward the end but not enough time. Incredible goal by Kerr and they've had an awesome campaign. Poms too strong
I’m predicting a 2:1 win to the Matildas. Who’s with me!?
Come on guys, I’m calling it!
Aged like milk 👍
Ug did I read the crystal ball upside down?
Hacking Sam. Yellow yeah!
Uhoh...
Feel like a couple of times Mackenzie should have come for the ball tonight...
Imagine talking about a public holiday if we win the whole thing, 2 games out...
Neither team looks nervous, which is good for us. Thought we might have started shaky
Carn the Tillies!
Macca saves us again
Dammit.Unlucky deflection 😥
Plenty of time!
We're in this match.
Carn Tillies!
The morning after, am still disappointed in the defensive error/s that sunk Australia. It was down to the tactical pressure from England that worked to a tee. No matter what Wiegman said about England not being the favourites, Oz needed to play a flawless game to get past the Lionesses, and they didn't. I have both a British and Australian passport, so technically I have a team in both remaining games… but I would have preferred it the other way round.
Even though I only watched Spain's semi win and saw a couple of England games in the tournament. I would rank England and strong favourites for the Final. If Australia can pick themselves up, they can get a result against Sweden but I don't think it will be a walkover.
It's been a fun ride.
Get Fowler some ball!
