Matildas massacre Uzbekistan

February 23, 2007

THE Australia women's football team advanced to the final stage of qualifying for the 2008 Beijing Olympics with a 10-0 demolition of Uzbekistan in Taiwan overnight.

The Matildas raced to a five-goal lead after just 25 minutes before adding a another five goals in the second half in a match played in cool conditions in the Chungshan Stadium.

The goals were shared among nine different goalscorers, with substitute Collette McCallum leading the way with a double, including a goal with her first touch 10 seconds after entering the fray on the hour mark.

There were also goals for Kate Gill, Thea Slatyer, Lauren Colthorpe, Danielle Small, Sarah Walsh, Heather Garriock, Rhian Davies and Lana Harch.

Joanne Peters skippered the team in the absence of rested captain Cheryl Salisbury, while Garriock wore the captain's armband for the first time in the latter stages of the match after Peters was substituted.

After winning their first match 2-0 on Wednesday against Burma, Australia will complete its round-one fixtures on Sunday against host-nation Taiwan.

Regardless of that result, the Matildas have already booked their place in the final round of qualifying in April.

Australia will now go into a four-team group, which includes Asia's top team North Korea, with only the top team to progress to the 2008 Olympic Games.

The Matildas have already qualified for the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup also to be held in China, September 10-30.

Being an Arsenal Ladies supporer 10 goals isn't really a big score line!

Well done to them anyway, do better next time!

LOL it's not 13-0 in an international away game either
But I thought it was a shocking result anyway
- another team to look out for, at the WWC.

France China 2-0

China who beat England 2-0 now lost to France 2-0? Shocking...

What is schoking is that we did not manage to beat England when it mattered

Not still upset over that are ya Shlj

French people don't like to be beaten by English

It's the same with the English , we hate to be beaten by the French

Australians keep demolishing their opponents

Australia 8-1 Taiwan

March 2nd:

Djurgården 2-0 China

(yes it's a club vs national team)

March 5th:

U-19 Friendly:

Scotland 3-1 Finland

LOL I was then I saw U-19
Good news for the Scots though, maybe some good youth coming through

Hahaha I did it on purpose like that
And I agree - there is hope for Scotland after all

The rematch wasn't as shocking

March 8th:

Scotland 0-1 Finland

(u-19)

Are they playing the same opponents several times?

If so, it's starting to get like the (men's) one-day cricket tournaments.

What do you mean several times?
It's been two times. The first match and the rematch.
That's how it usually is

But both in Scotland?

Twmcat how many times does it need to be said?
Women don't have as much money as men.
So if it's about friendlies, it's cheaper to do it in one country isn't it?
If they have a camp or something, why not?

But it seems pointless to play twice under those circumstances. Why not just the once?

It seems to be like the cricket they played in Australia, where Australia kept beating England until they got bored, then when England eventually won a game they started saying how good they were.

It's much better if they just play the one important game unless they are doing it on a home and away basis imo.
