National Women's League as well as a hectic month with the Matildas in July.

professional again overseas come next year.

Matildas Coach Tom Sermanni was in open and reflective mood speaking in Vietnam after the Asia Cup.
"Probably for the first time since taking over I found team selection difficult," said Sermanni.
The Matildas came fourth in the recent Asian Cup suffering losses to Japan, twice, and North Korea.
Interestingly despite some relatively heavy losses to Japan and North Korea in the Asia Cup
recently Australia seem to run the World Number 1, USA, close, again and again and again.
Recent 4-3 and 3-2 losses in the US have been followed up by a narrow 2-1 defeat in the Aussies
Peace Cup opener in Korea today.
For Australian football's sake...go! There comes a time in everyone's career when it is time to
