Albanese keeps talking about this freaking public holiday
How about you just frucking fund our sport properly 😢
35 weeks to play ALeague for a minimum $25k for a female which most are on is not ok.
Coaches on min 💵 .. worse if you’re female… worse if you need food or petrol
As someone who had my name pronounced wrong for an entire match... my friends still call me it to take the piss... I unequivocally know how much it means to have your name said correctly

Where you been Adidas?! Only Males in Australia get supplied Adidas boots and Merchandise.... you sponsor

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 im turning up the heat
so proud of the Spanish Women stepping up together!!
The boycott needs to go deep into the vast ranks of this federation to stop this madness.
The ones desperate to play for their country will be those who they will target. Deny Spain any opponents as well - stand with Jenni
Really disappointed that commentators took liberty in calling me by my husband’s name.
I love being married but I have worked hard to make my name my brand.
team sheets are Barbieri. I am not referred to as Hudson ANYWHERE in football. Pronunciation guides are there for a reason
As a player - while familiarity is nice, I’ll play anywhere, anytime.
I don’t pay for my flights or accommodation.
But earning the right for our fans is a big deal. 😥
Sydney FC will become the first professional sports club in the country to lift a domestic trophy tomorrow night, since the devastating Coronavirus impact on Australian sport.

Just wanted to take a moment and think of Les Murray swooning us with his words of praise for our Matildas…
His pride in them.
Can you hear him?
I can. 🥲
Pretty sad watching W-League last night with no replays, no audio and no footage at some points - rewinding with fat fingers is really annoying!! We deserve better.
Vale Carla Zampatti ... honestly a humble genius. She was a friend to
@TheMatildas
before we were “famous” she made us look and feel glamorous. Condolences to all who were touched by her grace and authenticity.
Can we all just take a moment to realise that sometimes in football you do what you need to get the results.. to get the path… that gets you to the best path to Trophies or medals.
I held the ball at my feet for 15 minutes once to get the result we needed… 😂
Just sitting here quietly wondering if

flew business to Jordan.. I’m sure a couple of sponsors need some new athletes to hold their company in high regard & promote their brand with integrity & humility

It is a disgrace that the Australian Government has allowed

to take major coverage of our game!! Your internet can’t handle it!! AND more importantly

deserve to cover ALL OF IT!!
What an inspiration 💙
We chat with Melissa Barbieri as she reflects on her illustrious 25-year footballing career - and how she looks forward to the future of women's football in Australia

It’s amazing how long this is taking…
It’s crazy to think that these things happen to players behind closed doors and no one believes them and then literally happens on a world stage and they’re still trying to get action.
You can’t blame some of these debutant countries for parking the bus. We have grown to 32 teams so rapidly that there will be a gap for a while. Ever since Germany went 11 on Argentina in an opening match- teams have shielded themselves from such devastation on debut.
Want to remind you-the Football Ferns (New Zealand NTL Team) just won their first World Cup match ever. All whilst doing it tough. Their wages abysmal their conditions below average, but yet they still inspired a Nation. Hell, they inspired Aussies too. Hero

Hahahaha this is literally what would have happened. But worse they had two former city females that was telling the bus driver he had it wrong but bus driver wouldn’t have a bar of it.
This is what that place actually looks like now -
Minus the cow. Spot on.

Absolutely gut wrenching news to hear that Elise Kellond-Knight has ruptured her ACL in Norway on the weekend. 2020 is tough enough without this injury for KK... wishing her recovery has her back in time for Tokyo x
This is my passive aggressive request to please stop referring to me as Mel. I get that Bubs can not be said by all so a few other options if you need it…
Meliss, Liss, Lissy, Miss, Missa, Bubbalicious, or stick with Melissa, especially if you’re quoting me. ✌️
I am so proud of this kid!!!! Worked so hard to get her French up to this standard and then to actually put it into practice on TV?!? Amazing. So proud.
I will say my confidence took a hit with some classy, finishing from the kids.
Usually can only interact with half time or ball retrieval experts 😉

goals. How about the saves My Union keep dishing out?!?! Having a proper look at Defensive mastery needs to be upped IMO. It’s not a one way street.
My Parents never came 2 games-but I knew I could look 2 other parents to help me fill the void-Tony & Britha were 2 faces I could count on. A wink & smile to show how proud of me they were without being their daughter. A very large hole is left in The Matildas family. Vale Tony
Vale Anthony Polkinghorne – The thoughts and prayers of Matildas players, staff, and supporters are with Clare Polkinghorne & her family & friends following the recent loss of Clare’s father, Anthony.
If you look at an athlete playing sport & you think the photo is inappropriate or suggestive. YOU are the problem.
NOT THE PHOTO & CERTAINLY NOT THE BLOODY ATHLETE
Unless their nut is hanging out... then that’s just gross
The fact I have heard lots of media sharing Bevo’s apology over the air and mildly glancing over the fact that Morris got stood down for his behaviour is mind blowing
Getting 91,000 people to a game is a collective achievement…
Pretty disappointed to hear that lots of teams scheduled games/trial games at the exact time of the

Any chance we can get commentary of our games to go back to focusing on play at hand?
Or getting the Radio coverage?
My Father’s eye sight has deteriorated quite quickly recently and the commentary just isn’t helping.
I’m Realising quickly that our game isn’t really accessible.
I cannot fathom a person testing positive for Covid-19 and not adhering to self isolation and going to bloody work and seeing family. What in the actual f...?
Congratulations 🦒 only keepers understand every cap is hard to come by. Its earnt. U Give some up to have others get their nerves out, subs are made but never for a Gk - it’s been an honour to be your number 1 then you to be my number 1 on this journey. Cheers to 86 & beyond xx
In 2006 I became a Nike athlete. Something I wanted even before wanting to play for Australia. It came after I became the first woman to play in the Men’s League.
Female football is very wide spread and intertwined - round ball and oval... chances are you know someone who is grieving today. Reach out. Stay with them even if you didn’t know Jacinda Barclay personally, chances are her death is impacting your friends. Strength to all today x

My favourite quote of the evening...
My daughter:
Mum, why are we up in the middle of the night?
It’s World Cup Babe go back to sleep.
Is it the Girls or The boys playing?
The boys babe.
How good is it she sees both.
Amen.

Always a pleasure seeing a Keeper get her first Cap… only keepers know the time and patience it takes for these things to happen. Congrats on the clean sheet. No better feeling on debut.
Proud to have joined

for making me feel so comfortable right from the start.
I mentioned on here last week about what a wonderful, caring person
@Bubs_11
has always been.
Another example on Sunday; this young lady is known to a friend of mine. The girl is a goalkeeper herself. Bubs gifted the lucky youngster her gloves. Quality.
