Even playing a poor team, it is still difficult when their entire team is loaded up front on defence. I loved watching the Matilidas skill in this game, even without the 10 goals. They're very very fit and extremely talented.
Half the team are WSL players, another third are European league. They absolutely need to hit it that hard in regular games, and certainly at the Olympics they're going to need to go that hard.
@@enesmoes6666 Not a dumb comment at all. I think they mean that by hitting it that hard on the laces is risky for most players as it can easily fly off in any direction. Not for Mary. She did the same risky thing in the france penalty shoot-out which really showed how good and calm she is under pressure.
there is a difference between technique and just smashing a ball. ...fowlers technique and timing was exquisite hence it generated so much power without much energy expended by her. ..you might see it as her hitting it hard but its perfect technique
Unbridled enthusiasm. Sure the opposition was below par but I girls play with so much flair and sheer joy. Love watching them, they lift our spirits. So good
Heyman is a natural striker, she positions herself very well inside that box...I HOPE SHE MAKES THE TEAM IN PARIS....BTW, Where was she udirng the World Cup, we would have used her well when Kerr was injured..and things would have been positive.... HEYMAN MUST BE IN THAT PARIS TEAM PLS !
Important to remember that we didn't know until the day of the opening match that Kerr was going to be injured. Heyman didn't get a look into the squad because Kerr was there and we had no reason to suspect she'd miss a game. But I agree, she's definitely taken the opportunity to stamp her authority on a role in the squad, whether it's alongside Kerr or in her absence.
Last night's match was so outstanding. Matildas have outdid themselves. Getting them a spot into the Paris Olympics. So proud to be an Aussie, supporting these Aussie girls in Matildas and the Socceroos.
No, it wasn’t. It was an embarrassment - a dreadful opponent and still loads of sklll errors and missed chances by the Matildas. Kennedy’s attempts at passing, in particular, were abysmal. She lost possession over and over again despite being under no pressure. Gorry also lost possession a lot in the first half.
@@andrewkemp1882 There's always one misery determined to ruin it for everybody. The match was not in any way 'an embarrassment' - that is absurd. It was a resounding victory. I'm sorry that the opponent did not adhere to your personal specifications, but the rules stipulate that Australia must play the Asian qualifiers in accordance with their membership of the federation to proceed. Unfortunately there are a number of lower-ranked teams within this federation from countries where women's sports have historically been marginalised, ignored and under-funded. Women's football was banned officially and unofficially in many of these countries for a long time. Players from countries like Uzbekistan are not full-time professionals from top clubs - most work or study full-time and fit in a couple of training sessions a week around their commitments. They are not paid. There are no tailored fitness plans or scheduled gym sessions. Staff are minimal and most still don't even have a goalkeeper coach. The Uzbekistani team do not have a single player signed to a club in Europe, the US or Australia. They all play in Uzbekistan or Turkey. That is just the reality. They rarely play in front of large crowds and the environment in this game must have been really strange and intimidating for them.Yet they still always give everything on the field, even when they lose and lose badly. They deserve a lot better than your sneering attitude, which neglects to take into account any of the factors above. There is a legitimate argument to be made over qualification for these tournaments and whether low-ranked opponents should be weeded out in some way, but these teams also deserve to have their chance on the big stage and dream of making it to major tournaments, even if it seems unlikely. If games like this aren't to your liking, the other qualifiers like the Nation's League featured some very high quality games, although it does rather feel like you can't just enjoy a game for what it is and must instead pick everything to pieces. I hardly think you need to rue 'missed chances' in a match with this scoreline. The fact that they are creating chances is the important thing. Your comments about Gorry are absurd - she is a key part of the midfield and dictates the play. You obviously don't know very much about football if you can't see that. She is an incredibly consistent player and I'm not sure that anyone really cares about a few incidents of lost possession - show me a player who doesn't lose possession during a game at some point. No idea what your issue is with Kennedy, but she is a stalwart at Man City and a key player for the Matildas for a reason.
What a shellacking! Go Tillies! Heymann's return has been fully vindicated and I love the way Fowler shoots....kerpow! Bit disappointed with only two goals in the second half though.😂😂

Even though they cruised I think some of the players didn't play themselves into the squad for Paris. Six or seven of the goals were basically goalmouth scrambles, with Rasso's & Fowler's having decent build up & good finishes. Stronger teams will defend better against the header back across the goal mouth so crosses put through by Fowler, Carpenter & co. need to be scored from.
Sometimes it's actually hard to avoid goalmouth scrambles when the opposition is considerably below standard and thus creating huge confusion amongst themselves in the goalmouth.
Michelle Heyman should of been in Matildas squad for FIFA WOMENS WORLD CUP 2023 Instead of Kyah Simon, who was injured. The extra options in attack, in the squad of 23 players. Imagine Kerr and Heyman as the 2 strikers...what could of been? Winners, Runners up? Looking forward to Olympics and World Cup in 2027! ❤🇦🇺💛💚
The match was totally uncompetitive, of course, but I won't complain as now there will be something interesting to watch on TV this summer 😊 Guess Heyman and Torpey have earned their inclusions in the Olympic squad, although a pity that Sophie Harding did not feature much in these qualifiers. Hopefully, she will get her chance soon
Matilda's players should get more funding and support from Soccer AU based on their performance, revenue generated and public support. This is the best and fairest way to support sports in Aus...so Socceroos, good game to you unless you start getting more meaningful results against top sides
WHERE WAS HEYMAN DURING THE WORLD CUP WHEN KERR WAS INJURED... She would have done well as well if she was in the World Cup Team ...I hope she joins this team in Paris, she is a STAR
Feel bad for the Uzbek team tbh. None of them would be professional players and probably just do it on the side. Flying 10+ hours to get smashed would be pretty shit.
Exactly. Thanks for being the only sensible person on here who has actually bothered to take that into account. People referring to them as 'horrendous' and similar simply seem to have no conception of the fact that these are not professional players. They don't even have a single player in a league outside of Uzbekistan and Turkey. They all work or study and they don't even have a goalkeeper coach. Yet people think it's fair game to rip them to shreds like they're Man City or something.
@@MartaComplex Yeah exactly. The thing that people miss is that a lot of the poorer country's women's teams literally get no funding. It's not really spectacular in any way for us to beat them by so much and it really doesn't say much about the quality of the Aus team.
@@andrewkemp1882 Ridiculous comment from somebody who clearly knows very little about the team and seems to have missed the huge number of games where Sam Kerr has led the team to great performances. You spend your time in the comments above ripping the game and the players to pieces and talking about how badly they played, yet somehow now they are 'a team' and all is wonderful, because you can pursue your agenda against Sam Kerr. You cannot possibly judge the togetherness of a group of players based on a couple of games, where you apparently believed they have not played well. Something really doesn't add up there. Sam is a key member of the team and an extremely popular leader. As soon as she is back, Heyman will sadly be gone. She knows that she is a temporary replacement and age is not on her side. Perhaps try to to remove your obvious off-field bias before you make such silly assertions about.
The marvel stadium pitch looks shocking. One of these days players are gonna get hurt. The lack of a proper playing surface is holding the sport back here!
Matilda's need to move from Stadium Australia/Suncorp Brisbane to Marvel Stadium and the MCG because the bigger crowd really get around the Tillies (and I can go to the games)
These are highlights only a blinkered Aussie fan could enjoy. Very little elegant or precision play on display and almost every goal coming from goal mouth scrambles against the worst defence you'd see outside of a high school game. Oh well, good for the women's game etc etc
Usual misery who can't resist their offering patronising and insulting opinion. Same old story really. The Uzkebistani team are not professionals or full-time players. They are low-ranked for a reason. They all work or study full-time and fit in a few training sessions around their commitments. They don't have any players in Europe, America or Australia - almost all of them play in Uzbekistan. They are extremely limited resources and very few staff. There isn't even a goalkeeper coach and they certainly don't have the opportunity to spend ages working on their defence. But of course people like you seem to think it's fair to discuss amateur teams like this as if they are Premier League sides. The players try their best and they deserve the chance to appear for their national team. They do what they can in a very difficult environment, where women's sports have been suppressed for years. Your comment is really unfair and they deserve better than a load of sneering insults. Nobody wants to lose by such a large scoreline, but most of these Uzbekistani players aren't even used to playing in front of large crowds. It's a different world for them compared to the Matildas.
You don't read too well with that chip on your shoulder. I was talking more about the poor playmaking by the Aussies against a weak side. Complex by name, complex by nature, lol. @@MartaComplex
I’ve got nothing against the Uzbek girls, but they shouldn’t have made it to the play-offs in the first place. I was in Tashkent when they hosted the group with Japan, Vietnam and India. They made it to the play-offs as the best second-placed team, but that only happened because Japan beat them “only” 2-0, scoring twice in the first 20 minutes, and then spending the remaining 70 minutes passing the ball around, without registering a single attempt, while the Uzbek girls didn’t commit a single foul, as they just watched the Japanese pass the ball around. Disgusting… “Why would the Japanese do that?”, you may be wondering. Let me answer that for you; Uzbekistan’s coach was a Japanese lady, who had been sent to Uzbekistan from the Japanese FA, as part of an agreement the two FAs had signed to improve the women’s game in the country. Shameful… Not the agreement between the two FAs, but the way they chose to “improve the women’s game in the country”. I’m old enough to remember West Germany vs Austria in 1982’s World Cup in Spain, that… infamous match, in which the European neighbors “arranged” things between them, so as to get Algeria eliminated from their group. That Uzbekistan vs Japan was the worst similar case I’ve seen since 1982. I tried to notify the FAs of the teams that competed in the other two groups, that affected them directly, but… nothing. If the same thing had happened in men’s qualifiers of a big event, it would have been a scandal about which the whole world would be talking. But...
No japan did that because they didn't want to face australia. It is actually australia that got very easy in the qualifiers never faced a tough opponent even once
@@andrewkemp1882 You do realise that the Uzbekistani goalkeepers are not full-time professionals. They don't even have a goalkeeper coach. They all work or study and fit in football on the side. They aren't paid and they have very limited resources. Calling them 'horrendous' is just plain rude, when they are doing the best they can under the circumstances. They just aren't in the same league as the Matildas in terms of funding and they don't have any players in top leagues. Mackenzie Arnold is a brilliant goalkeeper, but all you seem to do is criticise and insult the players. Your attitude is awful. Constructive criticism is all well and good, but just tossing out insulting labels hardly adds anything substantive to the conversation.
@@andrewkemp1882Pretty vitriolic statement for amateurs trying to achieve something behind a defence obviously in confusion against much higher class players. You obviously like finding something to criticise. (P.S. The Australian team began its life at a pretty low level too, didn't it?)
No. Kerr is a glory hunter selling Rexona, while her body breaks down and she suffers more and more injuries. Heyman is still going strong well into her 30s and does the simple things well - like scoring from close range. Kerr often misses the simple, close chances.
@@andrewkemp1882 Interesting. Looks like I\ was on the money about your off-field bias towards Sam Kerr. Bit pathetic mate. Sam is not a 'glory-hunter' in any way - she already has her glory. She has won numerous trophies with Chelsea and has won countless individual awards. You clearly don't watch much football if you don't know how talented Sam is and what a great finisher she is on the pitch. She is known for it in the WSL, where she has scored some goals that people still talk about seasons later. She is relied upon to perform in big games and very often does. Time to get over your issue with Kerr and start judging the football only. At the moment you're blinded by your bitterness. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a player partnering with a brand - loads of them do it and I don't blame them, given that salaries are much lower than in the men's game. Bizarre thing to get worked up over. To say her body is 'breaking down' is frankly hilarious. She's had an ACL injury mate - in case you've missed the memo, they are everywhere in the women's game and affect players of all ages. Injuries are very common in football after all. Michelle Heyman has also suffered from countless injuries in the past. She didn't play for months after seriously injuring her foot and ankle. She isn't invincible, but again you're blinded by your bias.
@@MartaComplexI’m not getting worked up. Apparently you are and are obsessed with Kerr like so many who follow people not the sport. Tell me about all the meaningful victories and trophies for Australia in the last decade that Kerr has caused.
@Redcouriercat Not really a TYPICAL football crowd tho in that they behaved very differently, and that few of them would know much about the sport. Obviously, this particular team were over hyped by the shitstream media last year largely for political reasons, but if it gets people into playing football, great.
Uzbek women are not the right team to play with Matildas. But Matildas are not a strong team that is why they found the team from Uzbekistan. Play with Russian team, will be amazing 😍
The team from Uzbekistan is not the right team to play with, the players from Uzbekistan can't play, they need plenty of training before to be qualified. Matildas found the weak team to use to go ahead, the team from Uzbekistan is below the average. They should play with Russian team,than it will be an interesting game.
Plenty do. I wasn't aware that you were personally acquainted with every person commenting here. Audiences are growing across the A League, but it takes time to develop. With more investment and funds, the game will steadily increase in visibility. Just because people want to watch the Matildas and haven't yet supported the A League doesn't mean that they are 'bandwagon supporters.' Bizarre way to divide a fanbase.
@@andrewkemp1882 You're such a narcissist. Because you're so wonderful and knowledgeable and everybody else knows nothing. It's laughable. You've already demonstrated above that you have little knowledge of the game and are instead governed by your many off-pitch biases towards certain players. Grow up.
@@MartaComplex crowds for the womens A league are pathetic. It's bleeding money. Nobody interested in it. The Mens is going broke, the womens hasn't got a chance. In fact, the funds wasted on the womens game has sped up the decline of the mens game
@@MartaComplexHow many W-League and women’s A-League matches have you gone to? The fan base has divided itself - people who care about club football as a platform for international football and people who only care about personalities at international level. The women’s league is a shadow of what it was even a few years ago before the exodus of players overseas and it really is substandard. The men’s league is not much better now either, with hordes of endlessly recycled players and managers.
This “win” shows how bad the competition is, if we had to beat Uzbekistan to make Olympic selection, the Matilda’s will be in the lower 25% and will be out early in the Olympics. Mediocrity explains Australian women’s soccer.
Look at all the bandwagon fans not even half of them support the women playing in the A-League absolute joke support men’s and women’s international but can’t support the countries league to help promote and grow the game so they all can get better to compete with the worlds best
No pleasing some people! Would you rather this game not be a sell out then? Public support needs to start and grow from somewhere, and here it is growing from the top and spreading down into the lower leagues.
@@tms977 my comment was merely saying all these people that are at the game should start supporting the aleague aswell not just international otherwise the Aleague will fall off it’s been losing money for yrs because people don’t want to watch the Aleague they would rather watch the internationals matches which is fine but these women and men start off in the Aleague and move because people don’t support it 3/4 of these people won’t go watch women’s or men’s Aleague
Don't be so ridiculous. The Uzbekistani team are not professional players. They all play in Uzbekistan and work or study full-time. That is why they are low-ranked. They have limited resources, very few staff and they don't even have a goalkeeper coach. They haven't even played in front of a crowd that size before. The nature of the qualifiers in the federation means that Australia has to play lower-ranked teams. You get plenty of scorelines like this in the men's game too in these kinds of qualifiers. It's just how it works.
Yes, because they are not professional players. They all play in Uzbekistan and work or study full-time. That is why they are low-ranked. They have limited resources, very few staff and they don't even have a goalkeeper coach. They haven't even played in front of a crowd that size before. Australia were always going to win, because the federation out of which they must qualify has quite a few low-ranked amateur teams. That is just how it works, but theres no need to insult amateur players who have flown for hours to get here and put in a lot of effort on the pitch against far superior opposition.
Matildas found a very weak team from Uzbekistan and are so happy 😁 guess what anyone will win the team from Uzbekistan, those players can not play, they need plenty of training 😕 they're not the team to compete. It shows that Matildas are weak as well 😅

Stronger teams will defend better against the header back across the goal mouth so crosses put through by Fowler, Carpenter & co. need to be scored from.
Sometimes it's actually hard to avoid goalmouth scrambles when the opposition is considerably below standard and thus creating huge confusion amongst themselves in the goalmouth.
Michelle Heyman should of been in Matildas squad for FIFA WOMENS WORLD CUP 2023
Instead of Kyah Simon, who was injured.
The extra options in attack, in the squad of 23 players.
Imagine Kerr and Heyman as the 2 strikers...what could of been?
Winners, Runners up?
Looking forward to Olympics and World Cup in 2027! ❤🇦🇺💛💚
The match was totally uncompetitive, of course, but I won't complain as now there will be something interesting to watch on TV this summer 😊 Guess Heyman and Torpey have earned their inclusions in the Olympic squad, although a pity that Sophie Harding did not feature much in these qualifiers. Hopefully, she will get her chance soon
Brilliant! Can Football Australia now hurry up and get new Matilda’s merch released?
おめでとうオーストラリア
東京五輪と去年のW杯でメダル争いをしたオーストラリアは近年の成績ではアジア内で頭ひとつ抜けてるね
I've seen a few football matches in my time, but I've never heard a crowd screaming like that. Sounded like a 1970s Bay City Rollers gig.
the matildas impact are incredible
amazing! 🥰🙌👏👏👏👏💚💛💚 So proud of u Matildas!
Matilda's players should get more funding and support from Soccer AU based on their performance, revenue generated and public support. This is the best and fairest way to support sports in Aus...so Socceroos, good game to you unless you start getting more meaningful results against top sides
Problem is they only get a few hundred to W League games. Everyone jumps on the national bandwagon but won't support grassroots.
WHERE WAS HEYMAN DURING THE WORLD CUP WHEN KERR WAS INJURED... She would have done well as well if she was in the World Cup Team ...I hope she joins this team in Paris, she is a STAR
Unfortunately took an acl ridden player instead as back up.
5 goals in the first 30mins is wild
Feel bad for the Uzbek team tbh. None of them would be professional players and probably just do it on the side. Flying 10+ hours to get smashed would be pretty shit.
I agree. Amateur players, with I think not one fan amongst a partisan crowd. Not easy.
Exactly. Thanks for being the only sensible person on here who has actually bothered to take that into account. People referring to them as 'horrendous' and similar simply seem to have no conception of the fact that these are not professional players. They don't even have a single player in a league outside of Uzbekistan and Turkey. They all work or study and they don't even have a goalkeeper coach. Yet people think it's fair game to rip them to shreds like they're Man City or something.
@@MartaComplex Yeah exactly. The thing that people miss is that a lot of the poorer country's women's teams literally get no funding. It's not really spectacular in any way for us to beat them by so much and it really doesn't say much about the quality of the Aus team.
@@kev8646 and the competition
Raso.. so clean!
Amazing ❤team ❤
Goals anyone: Heyman : I'll take four! Sayer: Can I have one too? Tony: Wait till we have 9.
Man City producing the goods once again. Great to see starters for Arsenal, City and Real Madrid all in the squad, unbelievable performance.
Well done 👏.
Great win Matildas, what lowly ranked team are you playing next, The North Pole Wanders !!
Another Fowler Howler
Surely Heyman's going to Paris, the Matilda's look so dynamic with her as their spearhead.
They look more like a team with her than with Kerr.
@@andrewkemp1882 Ridiculous comment from somebody who clearly knows very little about the team and seems to have missed the huge number of games where Sam Kerr has led the team to great performances.
You spend your time in the comments above ripping the game and the players to pieces and talking about how badly they played, yet somehow now they are 'a team' and all is wonderful, because you can pursue your agenda against Sam Kerr. You cannot possibly judge the togetherness of a group of players based on a couple of games, where you apparently believed they have not played well. Something really doesn't add up there.
Sam is a key member of the team and an extremely popular leader. As soon as she is back, Heyman will sadly be gone. She knows that she is a temporary replacement and age is not on her side. Perhaps try to to remove your obvious off-field bias before you make such silly assertions about.
The marvel stadium pitch looks shocking. One of these days players are gonna get hurt. The lack of a proper playing surface is holding the sport back here!
Matilda's need to move from Stadium Australia/Suncorp Brisbane to Marvel Stadium and the MCG because the bigger crowd really get around the Tillies (and I can go to the games)
Apparently the first goal of the night was and Own Goal
Amazing
Ridiculous stat sheet 😅 go Tilds! 🎉
But what about Akmed from Kazakhstan?
Yay go Matildas!!!! Good luck with the next match in April or May I think it is??? 🤔 Good luck anyways. Keep standing HIGH 💪😄💪
These are highlights only a blinkered Aussie fan could enjoy. Very little elegant or precision play on display and almost every goal coming from goal mouth scrambles against the worst defence you'd see outside of a high school game. Oh well, good for the women's game etc etc
Usual misery who can't resist their offering patronising and insulting opinion. Same old story really. The Uzkebistani team are not professionals or full-time players. They are low-ranked for a reason. They all work or study full-time and fit in a few training sessions around their commitments. They don't have any players in Europe, America or Australia - almost all of them play in Uzbekistan. They are extremely limited resources and very few staff. There isn't even a goalkeeper coach and they certainly don't have the opportunity to spend ages working on their defence.
But of course people like you seem to think it's fair to discuss amateur teams like this as if they are Premier League sides. The players try their best and they deserve the chance to appear for their national team. They do what they can in a very difficult environment, where women's sports have been suppressed for years. Your comment is really unfair and they deserve better than a load of sneering insults. Nobody wants to lose by such a large scoreline, but most of these Uzbekistani players aren't even used to playing in front of large crowds. It's a different world for them compared to the Matildas.
Agree.
You don't read too well with that chip on your shoulder. I was talking more about the poor playmaking by the Aussies against a weak side. Complex by name, complex by nature, lol. @@MartaComplex
I’ve got nothing against the Uzbek girls, but they shouldn’t have made it to the play-offs in the first place. I was in Tashkent when they hosted the group with Japan, Vietnam and India. They made it to the play-offs as the best second-placed team, but that only happened because Japan beat them “only” 2-0, scoring twice in the first 20 minutes, and then spending the remaining 70 minutes passing the ball around, without registering a single attempt, while the Uzbek girls didn’t commit a single foul, as they just watched the Japanese pass the ball around. Disgusting…
“Why would the Japanese do that?”, you may be wondering. Let me answer that for you; Uzbekistan’s coach was a Japanese lady, who had been sent to Uzbekistan from the Japanese FA, as part of an agreement the two FAs had signed to improve the women’s game in the country. Shameful… Not the agreement between the two FAs, but the way they chose to “improve the women’s game in the country”.
I’m old enough to remember West Germany vs Austria in 1982’s World Cup in Spain, that… infamous match, in which the European neighbors “arranged” things between them, so as to get Algeria eliminated from their group. That Uzbekistan vs Japan was the worst similar case I’ve seen since 1982. I tried to notify the FAs of the teams that competed in the other two groups, that affected them directly, but… nothing. If the same thing had happened in men’s qualifiers of a big event, it would have been a scandal about which the whole world would be talking. But...
No japan did that because they didn't want to face australia. It is actually australia that got very easy in the qualifiers never faced a tough opponent even once
So the Disgrace of Gijon from 1982 was kind of repeated there?
Wow 🤩
Lets go Matildas ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🌈🌈🌈🔜🇫🇷
That scoreline is a murder
💀💀💀
I didn't watch, but how could the Aussie team go thru the whole first half in Tashkent without scoring?
日本からすると『相手がオーストラリアじゃなくて良かった・・・。』
Fans who were there 💚💛🇦🇺
👇🏼
Brilliant work by the tillies, Uzbekistans goalie was horrendous
Both of their keepers were horrendous.
@@andrewkemp1882 You do realise that the Uzbekistani goalkeepers are not full-time professionals. They don't even have a goalkeeper coach. They all work or study and fit in football on the side. They aren't paid and they have very limited resources. Calling them 'horrendous' is just plain rude, when they are doing the best they can under the circumstances. They just aren't in the same league as the Matildas in terms of funding and they don't have any players in top leagues.
Mackenzie Arnold is a brilliant goalkeeper, but all you seem to do is criticise and insult the players. Your attitude is awful. Constructive criticism is all well and good, but just tossing out insulting labels hardly adds anything substantive to the conversation.
@@andrewkemp1882Pretty vitriolic statement for amateurs trying to achieve something behind a defence obviously in confusion against much higher class players. You obviously like finding something to criticise. (P.S. The Australian team began its life at a pretty low level too, didn't it?)
@@stewartjrlThey still are
Agar Ayollar chiqshsa juda kokrak kershardi
Is anyone thinking that Heyman might be a Sam Kerr in disguise? 😂🎉
No. Kerr is a glory hunter selling Rexona, while her body breaks down and she suffers more and more injuries. Heyman is still going strong well into her 30s and does the simple things well - like scoring from close range. Kerr often misses the simple, close chances.
@@andrewkemp1882 Interesting. Looks like I\ was on the money about your off-field bias towards Sam Kerr. Bit pathetic mate. Sam is not a 'glory-hunter' in any way - she already has her glory. She has won numerous trophies with Chelsea and has won countless individual awards. You clearly don't watch much football if you don't know how talented Sam is and what a great finisher she is on the pitch. She is known for it in the WSL, where she has scored some goals that people still talk about seasons later. She is relied upon to perform in big games and very often does.
Time to get over your issue with Kerr and start judging the football only. At the moment you're blinded by your bitterness. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a player partnering with a brand - loads of them do it and I don't blame them, given that salaries are much lower than in the men's game. Bizarre thing to get worked up over. To say her body is 'breaking down' is frankly hilarious. She's had an ACL injury mate - in case you've missed the memo, they are everywhere in the women's game and affect players of all ages. Injuries are very common in football after all.
Michelle Heyman has also suffered from countless injuries in the past. She didn't play for months after seriously injuring her foot and ankle. She isn't invincible, but again you're blinded by your bias.
@@MartaComplexI’m not getting worked up. Apparently you are and are obsessed with Kerr like so many who follow people not the sport. Tell me about all the meaningful victories and trophies for Australia in the last decade that Kerr has caused.
8 goals within the first half thats insane probably a world record they are so amazing
Doesn't help us playing a team like this, we need proper opposition like France Spain to improve,that was ridiculous
We play in Asia this is the quality
I feel for the Uzi girls, great Australia won but does nothing for the competition
@@russe19642 exactly, good point
That is just the nature of the federation. Better opposition will come at the Olympics and there are also friendlies etc.
Fans who were there 🇦🇺
THAT CROWD
The screaming was deafening. Not really a football crowd tho.
@@johnnyorangesThey were at the football so it's a football crowd🤦
@Redcouriercat Not really a TYPICAL football crowd tho in that they behaved very differently, and that few of them would know much about the sport. Obviously, this particular team were over hyped by the shitstream media last year largely for political reasons, but if it gets people into playing football, great.
I cant belive we let them have a shot smh
From 3-0 to 10-0😂
Oh wow
Not a real indicator of form against these poor nations 💁🏼♂️
Where was Nathan Cleary?? 😂😂😂
Uzbek women are not the right team to play with Matildas.
But Matildas are not a strong team that is why they found the team from Uzbekistan.
Play with Russian team, will be amazing 😍

Starts off okay...
Just junk time. No value in a one-sided contest like that.
The team from Uzbekistan is not the right team to play with, the players from Uzbekistan can't play, they need plenty of training before to be qualified.
Matildas found the weak team to use to go ahead, the team from Uzbekistan is below the average.
They should play with Russian team,than it will be an interesting game.

Stop calling the Australian womens team Combank Matildas
pretty sure it's part of their requirement of the Commbank's sponsorship.. and it's probably a tonne of money.
do you want women to be better paid or not?
😮
Why don't all these band wagon supporters watch the womens A league lol
Because they are bandwagon supporters without any knowledge of the sport.
Plenty do. I wasn't aware that you were personally acquainted with every person commenting here. Audiences are growing across the A League, but it takes time to develop. With more investment and funds, the game will steadily increase in visibility. Just because people want to watch the Matildas and haven't yet supported the A League doesn't mean that they are 'bandwagon supporters.' Bizarre way to divide a fanbase.
@@andrewkemp1882 You're such a narcissist. Because you're so wonderful and knowledgeable and everybody else knows nothing. It's laughable.
You've already demonstrated above that you have little knowledge of the game and are instead governed by your many off-pitch biases towards certain players. Grow up.
@@MartaComplex crowds for the womens A league are pathetic. It's bleeding money.
Nobody interested in it. The Mens is going broke, the womens hasn't got a chance. In fact, the funds wasted on the womens game has sped up the decline of the mens game
@@MartaComplexHow many W-League and women’s A-League matches have you gone to? The fan base has divided itself - people who care about club football as a platform for international football and people who only care about personalities at international level. The women’s league is a shadow of what it was even a few years ago before the exodus of players overseas and it really is substandard. The men’s league is not much better now either, with hordes of endlessly recycled players and managers.
This “win” shows how bad the competition is, if we had to beat Uzbekistan to make Olympic selection, the Matilda’s will be in the lower 25% and will be out early in the Olympics. Mediocrity explains Australian women’s soccer.
west is too superior
Look at all the bandwagon fans not even half of them support the women playing in the A-League absolute joke support men’s and women’s international but can’t support the countries league to help promote and grow the game so they all can get better to compete with the worlds best
No pleasing some people! Would you rather this game not be a sell out then? Public support needs to start and grow from somewhere, and here it is growing from the top and spreading down into the lower leagues.
@@tms977 my comment was merely saying all these people that are at the game should start supporting the aleague aswell not just international otherwise the Aleague will fall off it’s been losing money for yrs because people don’t want to watch the Aleague they would rather watch the internationals matches which is fine but these women and men start off in the Aleague and move because people don’t support it 3/4 of these people won’t go watch women’s or men’s Aleague
@@tms977That's exactly right. Couldn't have said it better myself. :)
What a farce of a game
Don't be so ridiculous. The Uzbekistani team are not professional players. They all play in Uzbekistan and work or study full-time. That is why they are low-ranked. They have limited resources, very few staff and they don't even have a goalkeeper coach. They haven't even played in front of a crowd that size before. The nature of the qualifiers in the federation means that Australia has to play lower-ranked teams. You get plenty of scorelines like this in the men's game too in these kinds of qualifiers. It's just how it works.
Yes well done Matilda’s but the local 12 year old title holders would have beat that opposition
Yes, because they are not professional players. They all play in Uzbekistan and work or study full-time. That is why they are low-ranked. They have limited resources, very few staff and they don't even have a goalkeeper coach. They haven't even played in front of a crowd that size before. Australia were always going to win, because the federation out of which they must qualify has quite a few low-ranked amateur teams. That is just how it works, but theres no need to insult amateur players who have flown for hours to get here and put in a lot of effort on the pitch against far superior opposition.
@@MartaComplex actual lol
@@MartaComplex Well said, could not agree with you more.
Matildas found a very weak team from Uzbekistan and are so happy 😁 guess what anyone will win the team from Uzbekistan, those players can not play, they need plenty of training 😕 they're not the team to compete.
It shows that Matildas are weak as well 😅
Look up the phrase ‘Utterly Useless’ and there’s a photo of this Uzbekistan team. Pathetic.
You're the pathetic one actually mate and you clearly know nothing about the Uzbekistani team.
Uzbekistan are an amateur side. Their players work and study full-time and fit in a few training sessions around their commitments. They don't have any players in Europe, America or Australia - almost all of them play in Uzbekistan. They have extremely limited resources and very few staff. There isn't even a goalkeeper coach and they certainly aren't paid. They do the best they can in difficult circumstances. They hadn't even played in front of a crowd this size before. Give them a break. Not their fault they had to play Australia.
Uzbekistan the equivalent to an under 10 side, absolutely embarrassing.
Another idiot who doesn't seem to realise that Uzbekistan are an amateur team. Their players work and study full-time and fit in a few training sessions around their commitments.

There isn't even a goalkeeper coach and they certainly aren't paid. They do the best they can in difficult circumstances. They hadn't even played in front of a crowd this size before. Insulting them is just really unfair frankly, given that the players try their best and it isn't their fault that they had to play the qualifier against far superior opposition.
This is the clumsiest display of football I have ever seen in my life, like this is actually embarrassing for both teams.Womens football is actually a joke.
Expected more in the second half
What an absolute joke of a sport did Taylor Swift score?
Ridiculous over-reaction. Uzbekistan are an amateur side with players who all work or study full-time. Not their fault they had to play the qualifier against Australia.
There are plenty of game in men's football qualifiers with score lines like this, but I bet you don't refer to those as a 'joke of a sport.' It's so predictable.
It's good for all the teeny boppers and the woke simp males to watch. Real football fans wouldn't give this drivel a second glance.
the opposition was sooo shit!!

Calling them 'shit' is just really rude frankly and shows that you know nothing about the game. Australia have a whole squad of full-time professional players who are paid to perform. Many are signed to top teams around the world. They were always going to win.
Uzbekistani players still gave their all and did the best they could under the circumstances, but their situation is worlds apart. But of course people like you seem to think it's fair to discuss amateur teams like this as if they are Premier League sides. Ridiculous.
Looks really bad for Uzbekistan girls. It's like Men vs Boys. This is like NBA vs NBL 😂😂😂
Or its like semi talented women vs non talented women. 😅
NBA ? Don't kid yourself, that's a world class league. Womens soccer is backyard yobbo extra curriculum
More under achievement!🙄
They made the Olympics and this was the final qualifier lol what'd you want them to do?
Ok mate. Uzbekistan are an amateur side. Its not Australia's fault that they had to play a low-ranked amateur team. That is the rules of the federation.
You're clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed, as I think any sensible person would agree that winning 10-0 is actually the opposite of under-achievement.
Uzbekistan were the "whipped girls". The standard of women's football in THEIR country really needs an intensive upgrade.

Last night's match was so outstanding. Matildas have outdid themselves. Getting them a spot into the Paris Olympics. So proud to be an Aussie, supporting these Aussie girls in Matildas and the Socceroos.
Even playing a poor team, it is still difficult when their entire team is loaded up front on defence. I loved watching the Matilidas skill in this game, even without the 10 goals. They're very very fit and extremely talented.
