Steph Catley, captain of the Australian team, is clearly upset by the Matildas’ 3-2 loss to Nigeria’s Super Falcons.
Obviously, I’m quite sad. I think we missed a huge opportunity here, but I suppose that’s par for the course in tournament football. Catley admitted after the game that “it was definitely not our best performance.”
I haven’t seen the numbers, but I’m guessing we had a good number of shots because we created so many chances.
With four points from two games, Nigeria is now in first place in Group B.
Second-place Canada is in the same position as the United States, with an identical point total and match history but a worse goal differential.
With three points from two games, Australia is in third place.
