Australia says goodbye to a legend of the game as Clare Polkinghorne plays her final international for the Matildas against Brazil at Lang Park .Gutierres latched onto a through ball, Mackenzie Arnold came out to try and snuff out the opportunity and was caught in no woman's land.
The sides have met 21 times since 1988, with the Aussies winning 11 of those matches, with eight defeats and two draws."Just a few quick words for me because we've got a game to get on with," she says. That being said, the workload on players across the board is starting to get out of hand - and there have been a number of withdrawals from the squad for these internationals.
"We have that support. We have the networks you need, if it's mental, physical support you need, we have options for all of that. As it should be, everyone has that option to get the support that they need."Katrina Gorry and Clare Wheeler will both be absent through injury."It is simple, if a player is in that frame of mind, it is important that they take the time to recover," he said.
"The important thing for any team that wants to keep improving is to make sure we can back up that performance and hopefully it wasn't a one off."I get that the game is played very late and there may be scheduling reasons related to the Brazilian audience, but for those of us who live here, an hour later in the evening can make a significant difference in terms of performing in the heat and humidity.
