This is a more comprehensive outline of this new initiative. https://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news/football-australia-announces-new-head-coaches-u-20-and-u-17-womens-national-team-part-team

A great initiative by Football Australia to improve the scope of coaching in the national set up. https://ccmariners.com.au/news/emily-husband-one-of-the-first-selected-for-football-australias-team-of-coaches-initiative/

Here’s a thought for those who are quick to criticise the Matildas recent games. The Matildas have brought in a whole new generation of young fans (along with their mums) of football that weren’t there just a few years ago . Now tell me that’s bad for our sport.

Of course not, we all deserve criticism of one form or another, no one is perfect. However there is a difference in criticising a team’s performance and an absolute tearing down of the Matildas in general. Some of the comments go way beyond what could be considered legitimate criticism.

There’s a team called ‘ bulls academy’ in the nsw nplw which is basically Northbridge FC women’s team. Maybe they contribute to the cost of running a team in this competition, not sure. I don’t think there’s too much enthusiasm for an ALW team.

Of course not , as the old saying goes ‘opinions are like a***holes everybody has one’.😀

I have to say that you have an agenda and that is to tear down Australia’s most popular female sports team. It makes me wonder if you are working for some other sports organisation. Women’s football have a whole new audience that won’t be swayed by ‘world rankings’ or the forebodings of forum...

I just don’t understand why Football Australia have ignored your ‘expertise’, we would be in a much better place if only they’d listened to you. 😂😂

Oh boy!! 🤣🤣

Yep, spot on! 👍

Let it go !!😂

Whatever 🤣🤣

You mean like in the last WWC. 😀

Sarcasm doesn’t always translate in text. 👍

It’s all down to luck.👏🏻🤣🤣

It’s all down to luck.👏🏻🤣🤣

You’re comment nonetheless.

What a fevered imagination some people have.😲

I’m sure you know the saying ‘opinions are like a**holes’ and that’s why we frequent these forums.😀

I watch the game too, ALW, WSL, USL Super League, FA WSL, I could go on but you get the picture. I get my ‘evidence’ from this but at the end of the day it’s just my opinion. By the way is the Williams you refer to Lydia ? She retired a while back.
