Sometimes static, sometimes encouraging, but always – as Foord acknowledged after the game – missing the final ball. “The final pass just wasn’t there,” she said. “That’s something we need to be better at going into the next game.”
That next game is on Tuesday night, at Sydney’s Commbank Stadium. We’ll back to blog that, too. In the more immediate future, we’ll also be live blogging the Socceroos’ last World Cup warm-up against Mexico. Kick-off is tomorrow (Sunday) at 5am AEST. So get to it, you early birds. I’ll be there.
In the meantime, thanks for joining us, and keep an eye out for Frances Howe’s Matildas match report, which we’ll post to the top of this blog shortly.
Ciao for now.
