Matildas
Our understanding is that only domestically-based players will feature in the games against Taiwan (we saw a screenshot of a Herald Sun article).

Eric’s Stolen Thoughts 1: Wini Heatley should have earned a Matildas callup after playing for Northern Tigers during the 2021 NPL NSW season
Anonymous: Sad to see a bunch of sooks selling tickets/cancelling their trips for the Tillies bc they “aren’t interested now their favourite players aren’t playing”. I hope they know they’re entitled losers, and the players they love would be embarrassed by their weak conditional support!
If you’re thinking of not going (and you live in Victoria) I encourage you to attend anyway. Trust me, the dub players are good enough to put on a show.
They’re good enough for the main team, it’s just a very tough 23 to break into

Just to be clear on the lack of Kayla Morrison in the squad, we’ve been told that all the paperwork has been done on Australia’s end, they’re just waiting on FIFA to finalise #Matildas

I once made fun of Kayla Morrison for losing in a kickabout by herself against 30 children.
I think the criticism has stayed with her. pic.twitter.com/zdSjYjfiRw

“Everybody has their ways of relieving frustration. Rather than yelling out at the top of my voice with profanities, I’ve decided to do 2 or 3 little exercises”

Eric’s Stolen Thoughts 2: Melbourne City play 50km from the CBD, almost double the distance of a team branded for the western suburbs rather than the city itself
Unite Round Fixtures (Leichhardt Oval or Jubilee Stadium, Kogarah, keep an eye out for last minute changes)
It’s looking very likely that the ALW element of Unite Round this weekend will be moved to Kogarah due to the poor state of the pitch at Leichhardt Oval. Very disappointing.

️ Gold Coast – Gold Coast Stadium

Gold Coast a perfect choice over Suncorp, especially that time of year with concerts ruining pitch. *If* there is a Tillies game there it might be hard to get a ticket, but it will also be packed and awesome.
Also a fantastic size and location for other touring teams and fans. https://t.co/QhwGsultEL— Maj – @maj-c.bsky.social (@maj_c) November 13, 2024

UEFA Champions League
obsessed with hammarby fans paying £100 to get their drum on the plane to bring it to the city game, and with city allowing them to bring it and giving them more away tickets than the mandatory allocation. that’s a fanbase that don’t mess around when it comes to support pic.twitter.com/smNO4Z0zEr

i love hammarby fans they genuinely are ride or die for their club, the absolute scenes when they won the league last year were brilliant. 7000 of them travelling 300km to see them win, the incredible tifos, the drum, they’re really doing it right over there https://t.co/nQFywCso8W
