It can not go without comment the poor showing of the national team at the Olympics.
And of course Tony Gustavsson has gone.

Parts of Otto's criticism on the page before seem valid once again.

what a waste of four years, and the tillies version of the golden gen

it was obvious from day one, he’s an imposter… lovely human being, but he's not cut out to be a manager, he’s better suited as an assistant or vibes manager

gotta feel for the girls that won’t be there in three and four years time

needless to say, the next appointment is huge for the continued growth of the game in this country… fingers crossed they get it right

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?

You take peak Messi or Ronaldo out of a squad and they will suffer. Our dependence on Kerr is just that if not worse. She buff over a lot of cracks I felt were there.

IMO he did miss a lot of opportunities to unearth new players.
