Right. So we’ve already played both of the Koreas, and now we get to play one of the Chinas. 😵💫 #AUSPRK #WAC2026

Full respect to the DPRK, they were excellent. Would have been deserved winners but for two brain fades and top tier #Matildas finishing. Can't say much positive about us beyond that and a lot of gritty defending. We'll need to be better in the semi. #AUSPRK

I don't mean that as a moral statement; I'm pretty sure that's how the rules are laid out. #AUSPRK #Matildas

Unbelievable the DPRK player is protesting a yellow card when her opponent is BLEEDING. Intent doesn't matter if you injure your opponent. #AUSPRK #Matildas

The DPRK are better than the #Matildas at almost everything other than, "don't make shockers at the back". Not sure what needs to change, but I doubt it's something we can do on the fly. The DPRK are *practised*. #AUSPRK

Very well worked goal from the DPRK. As they were playing it, I was literally thinking, "If the #Matildas had sequences like this, with our players, we could win the bloody tournament". #AUSPRK

This game is messier in the second half, but arguably at the DPRK's expense. The #Matildas are a *little* better, but the DPRK still have more possession and play. Feels like more fouls on each side. #AUSPRK #Matildas

I guess the good thing for the DPRK is that they don't need to change their game plan, just... stop making howlers in the back line? #AUSPRK #Matildas

The Coles adverts on tv keep bragging they spend .3% of their annual profit on junior sport.
Come on Coles for that bragging it should be 5%!!

A combination of excellence from Kerr then Kennedy has put us in front, but it's pretty flattering. Possibly there's a plan to wear the DPRK out, but even so you'd want control; to move them about on your terms. This is... not that. #AUSPRK #Matildas

I hope we see a bit more from the #Matildas in the 2nd half! Torpey has been great & our forward press has been v good (on the rare occasions it happens). But we have no control. In the last 10, maybe 15 minutes we had one sequence >6 passes, and that was around the back + a Kennedy bomb. #AUSPRK

It's notable how little play is coming from the centre of the pitch: both teams are preferring the wings and half-spaces. And, frankly, the DPRK are doing it better. The amount of crosses we're allowing is bad. #AUSPRK #Matildas

Interestingly, the Tillies have switched tactics: since Fowler's ball, everything forward has been flat; often sharp passes through lines to Kerr's feet. Glad to see it. #AUSPRK #Matildas

Look just hand Alanna Kennedy the golden boot now. You know she’s just going to keep scoring anyway. #AUSPRK #WAC2026

And again, from Fowler. This is 'hit and hope' territory. Are the N. Korean back line really that bad? #AUSPRK #Matildas

Alanna Kennedy just can't stop scoring. Her fifth tournament goal makes her the outright top-scorer at this Asian Cup, and more importantly puts Australia in front against North Korea. #AUSPRK

Great hit from Kennedy, obviously. But these balls to our forward line are rubbish. All into space, nowhere near players. We got very lucky N. Korea let Kerr pinch that ball. #AUSPRK #Matildas
