Football is a silly game.
HOW GOOOD 💚💛💚💛💚

Let’s go to another World Cup!

[Brendan Da Costa @BrendanDaCosta]

And after all that, we’ve definitely conceded from another corner! 🙃
#Matildas

[Brendan Da Costa @BrendanDaCosta]

Not sure any of us will ever watch another game of football like that ever again!!! 🤯🥳💚💛
#Matildas #AUSvZAM

[Brendan Da Costa @BrendanDaCosta]

I have no doubt we can create enough chances to win this game… assuming we can actually tighten things up at the back slightly! #Matildas

[Brendan Da Costa @BrendanDaCosta]

Well that’s a start… incredible goal!!
Of course it came against us 🙃
#Matildas

[Brendan Da Costa @BrendanDaCosta]

Outclassed by a better opponent tonight… not a great start
But 2 more games to go, a few days at training to sort out how to defend a corner 🙄🙄 and onto Zambia!
#Matildas

[Brendan Da Costa @BrendanDaCosta]

Cut to shreds at the back 😩
Need to avoid letting this get any uglier… the more we push forward the more Germany can destroy us on the counter
#Matildas

[Brendan Da Costa @BrendanDaCosta]

Caitlin Foord going off injured really making this a bad to worse kinda night... #Matildas

[Brendan Da Costa @BrendanDaCosta]

A completely uninspiring first half from the #Matildas
Not a single shot, no creativity, not looking like breaking down China at all, meanwhile getting caught on the counter-attack
A lot to discuss at HT!

Quality scenes in Gosford ⚽️🥳🥳

A new contender for the title of fastest #ALeague Men red card yesterday - 24 seconds from Ronald Barcellos coming onto the field until he commits the foul that he was sent off for!
A valiant effort but not sure that anyone will ever catch Zadkovich's record!
#MVCvCCM #ALM

[Brendan Da Costa @BrendanDaCosta]

But the real winner was coaching last night in #PERvWSW, Ruben Zadkovich!
PER v WEL 2014/15 - 16 seconds (!!) from coming on to the actual offence! But there is a bit of handbags so it's another 90 seconds before the ref gets around to showing the actual red card

[Brendan Da Costa @BrendanDaCosta]

Got to take your chances… 💔 😭
#AUSvKOR #Socceroos

[CommBank Socceroos @Socceroos]

FT | Three points to get our #AsianCup2023 campaign up and running! 🙌

#AUSvIND #Socceroos #DifferentBreed

Riley McGree the difference maker in the second half for the #Socceroos
Look forward to more of him in this tournament
#AUSvIND

[Brendan Da Costa @BrendanDaCosta]

@tarynheddo Fair enough, thanks for info!
Was wondering if maybe the ref reviewed footage post game and decided it was own goal for final report🤷‍♂️
Maybe we can get Heyman two century celebrations, she deserves one at home anyway!!

[Brendan Da Costa @BrendanDaCosta]

WHEELS!!! 🤩🤩
What a hit!
💚💛

[Brendan Da Costa @BrendanDaCosta]

Just the third 4-all draw in #ALW history - all three have involved Canberra United!
Canberra & Perth played out the two previous 4-4 draws in 2017/18 & 2018/19
