Summary:


Nigeria has secured a massive win against the Matildas but from a purely Matildas perspective it does feel like they have reigned on Australia's parade. It's a really disappointing result. A 3-2 defeat. There were some great goals in amongst that but there were a lot of decisions that confused Matildas fans. Tony Gustafson only made some substitutions around the 82nd minute mark and decided to put Senna back Alana Kennedy up top. They were both deliberate decisions. Gustafson said that he would review the timing of his substitutions once he had reviewed the match footage and he also said that Alana Kennedy was a player that he does think can do a job up top.


The shock loss against Nigeria has left Australian football fans in dismay. The Matildas suffered a 3-2 defeat, dampening the celebratory atmosphere and leaving many supporters perplexed by the coach's decisions. Tony Gustafson's late substitutions, including moving Alana Kennedy to the forward position, have sparked debates among fans. Gustafson plans to review the match footage before assessing the impact of his decisions. He expressed confidence in Kennedy's abilities to contribute as a striker.

With the devastating loss, emotions are running high among Australian fans. However, there is no time to dwell on this result as they have a crucial match against Canada in four days in Melbourne. The upcoming encounter has now turned into a must-win situation for the Matildas. They are determined to learn from their mistakes in the Nigeria game, make necessary adjustments, and focus on the clash with Canada.

The forthcoming match promises to be an intense battle, and supporters are eagerly anticipating the showdown in Melbourne.


Australian fans are hoping for a swift recovery and a victorious performance in the upcoming match against Canada. The Matildas' journey in the competition remains challenging, but their resilience and determination will be put to the test. As the football world watches with bated breath, all eyes will be on the team's performance in the crucial encounter.

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis People are packing up in their cars. They're getting out of here. A few days before I found myself standing there on the edge of Kharkiv, watching those first tank shells hit into the apartment blocks in Saltyvka, my editor, Louis Emmanuel, had asked me to come up with something to be published on the day of the war, if the war began, explaining to readers why this was happening. And I was hoping it would never be published. It was, and the answer I came up with was, probably in the simple balance of power. I quote it, Russia's military is at its strongest and most capable since the Cold War. Its public finances are also in good order, and Mr Putin may believe he is well placed to bear the costs of the conflict and inevitable sanctions. We'll come back to that in a second. The West is conversely at a moment of historic econo...

Micah Richards analyses Manchester United's 'humiliating' 7-0 loss to Liverpool | Match of the Day 2 Well, if he ran them after Brentford, he'll be running them tomorrow, won't he? I mean, what a remarkable game. Yeah, I was in disbelief. I was shocked and I was stunned from a Man United point of view. Man United, over the last couple of months, have been brilliant. You could see what they've been trying to do. Got some really good results, especially the one against Barcelona. The confidence was in the team. I didn't see United going and maybe winning today, I thought they'd maybe get a draw. But from Liverpool's point of view, they were clinical, they were outstanding, they had the fluidity back in the team. And they're just. This is a Liverpool that you want to see. We always thought Liverpool would be this this season. It's not quite h...
