Great Britain. We will need to be careful with White as she is good at suckering in the ref, particularly in and around the box.0-0 which is a result that suits both sides and they looked like they played that way near the end. I think 3rd place was a realistic result now we wait to see who we take on!

One for the ages, that's for sure.
Great to see Mary Fowler bag her first goal. Not a bad time to do it!

Well done Canada.
Re: Matildas
Heartbreak.
Still confused as to why our goal didn't stand. Poor officiating not to at least check in with VAR.

Re: Matildas
Pretty ridiculous decision but the ref was paying very cheap frees all game I feel. We had a few frees in dangerous positions that we didn't deserve. Has VAR made a single call this Olympics? I've not seen one thing referredHeartbreak.

Canada's winner to put them through to the gold medal playoff came from a VAR penalty.Pretty ridiculous decision but the ref was paying very cheap frees all game I feel.

Can't recall much else to be fair though.

That’s quite a start in the Asian Cup.
Next up the mighty Phillipines.
(Hopefully more of a contest.)

Re: Matildas
Hopefully, I am not sure the Matilda's got much out of this match. Players like Kerr, Raso, van Egmond & Carpenter should have been pulled at half-time to give some of the fringe players some meaningful minutes. Not much sense in risking your stars and making them work when you are already 9-0 up going into the sheds for the break.

Crazy to think if we weren't hosting the 2023 WC we would have missed out on a spot.

Re: Matildas
Hugely disappointing. Something is wrong.
Have we relied on the old guard too long?
Are the youngsters coming through not as good as we thought?
Is it a failure of skill, or fitness, or tactics, or teamwork, or just plain grit?
