Summary

Thank you for joining me tonight for another celebration of the Matildas. 10-0, a full house, and passage to the Olympics is quite the satisfying night’s work.

I’ll leave you with Joey Lynch’s match report, and see you in France in July.

The Paris Games will be tough, no question. The qualified teams along with Australia are: France, USA, Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Spain, New Zealand, and Japan – who defeated North Korea 2-1 tonight.

To that list will be added either Germany or the Netherlands, and two nations from Africa.
