Aussies look solid, comfortable with the ball.

 

[Ganzlinger]

Nice free kick

 

[ibyea]

Great free kick, would have been in if it weren't for the goalie.

 

[Mory Dunz]

I can see Nigeria coming back

 

[Ganzlinger]

Oshoala is really good

 

[Mohonky]

What is it with African nations and annoying sounds and music during games. Fuck I am so sick of hearing that song now. Its been an hour,,give it a rest.

 

[ibyea]

That was a dumb foul.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Australia looks dead again. Didn't they learn after the US game?

Whether or not Nigeria can actually do anything with it is another matter lol.

Ugh at that volley

This music was playing in another match on the first round. Was also Nigeria's match?

Dont get much choice against Nigeria, those girls are fast and fit. Just got to keep at it and do their best to stick with them. Dont believe they are doing it on purpose, any team playing Nigeria is going to habe to expect to be run hard.

It happened during the US game too.

The first half the US got outplayed. Second half wasn't a contest tbh

 

[Mohonky]

Aussie girls not getting much done at the moment, starting to worry.......

 

[Ganzlinger]

Wow Nkwocha is 39 years old

 

[ibyea]

If only she could have controlled it a bit more Australia would have had another goal. She got it while on air though so it couldn't be helped.

 

[yagal]

Yes. Is the "signature sound" of Nigerian's supporters.

 

[Ganzlinger]

GOOOOOOOAL

Simon again!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Nigeria's defense looked lost on that whole exchange

 

[Mohonky]

Yes yes yes!!

Thats some relief, against the run of play really but I aint complaining.

Dont let up though, 2-0 can turn quick.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Dang it I had to step away again. I always miss the good stuff.





Didn't miss that

 

[ibyea]

Goal for Australia! Nigeria's defense was just ugh.

 

[Cerberus]

Nigeria's backline looks awful.

 

[Peru]

Aussies have been in total control the whole match, even if Nigeria at times have been better in defense than last match. But letting those two go so easily onside was... yeah.

 

[Ganzlinger]

Yes. Is the "signature sound" of Nigerian's supporters.

I see. It's a good song but kinda repetitive.

 

[MRrogermoore]

Nigerias defense lacks awarness, they're too focused on the ball, literally all 3 of them were looking/moving in the direction of the ball lol.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Starting to lose faith.

Maybe

 

[Peru]

Fire this ref.

 

[Ganzlinger]

I wonder if Australia is better than Sweden or Sweden was really in a bad day against Nigeria.

 

[Cerberus]

Oshoala

 

[Mory Dunz]

How didn't thet score?


Far post people look alive

 

[Peru]

I wonder if Australia is better than Sweden or Sweden was really in a bad day against Nigeria.

Australia better
Sweden had a bad day
Nigeria more wholeheartedly attacking last time

 

[Mory Dunz]

Way to be jerks Nigeria...

 

[Mohonky]

Wow that was blatant. Dirty as shit.

 

[ibyea]

Oh wow, that was a red card.

 

[Spacebar]

Wow that was blatant. Dirty as shit.

Should be banned the rest of the tournament.

 

[Forceatowulf]

That player needs to be suspended. Period.

Asshole move.

 

[Mesousa]

Should be banned the rest of the tournament.

so...one match ban?

 

[Mohonky]

Oh wow, that was a red card.

Yeop. Wasnt even close to being on the ball, she purposefully just knocker her one, nothing but intent.

Football needs a video ref to pick up on this sort of thing. Unfortunately too easy for a ref to miss and the linesman is on the wrong side of the park to see.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Poor shot.
probably won't matter though

 

[Mohonky]

Damn, so close.

 

[chicko1983]

Yeah I think Aussies are the second best team in this group.

On another day, Aussies could have really pushed the USA if they took some of their early chances.

Aussies lost to Sweden in the QF last World Cup so there will be a bit of a revenge factor in the next game for the Aussies.

In Australia we have a match review system where players can get bans if an incident is picked up on camera but not called in a match.

I don't think FIFA tournaments have this review system though, so I think she may get away with it.

lol yea, I guess you could put it that way.

They do. Ask Suárez.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Oshoala dissapponting from what I saw

 

[chicko1983]

Wasn't his bite during a champions league or epl game? Not during a World Cup?

 

[Mory Dunz]

There's more than one bite.


...more than two

Its not that Australia didn't take their chances, Ropinhoe got lucky with her first deflection, but Hope Solo pulled out some amazing saves. She really kept them in the game, because Aus could and maybe even should have gone 3 up in that first half, Solo's though was brilliant and the US have the sort of girls that can finish a much if you just give them half an opportunity, they will punish you and thats what happen to us.

Our girls are carrying a lot of injuries right now, so I am hoping they can hold out, their fitness doesn't seem to be there as both games now they have hit a wall at 60min but otherwise, I think they have shown plenty of moments where the sort of plays they have put together and the creativity and execution put them up their with any team in the comp.

Their ability to be consistent over the 90min seems to be their weakness right now.
