and not the men’s team’s kits.
The Matildas drop down one spot to 11th as the result of their loss to Sweden (1st, up 2) in the third place playoff last Saturday. World Cup runner-up England are fourth, with USA in 3rd spot.

It’s puzzling how a team that makes the last 4 would go DOWN from 10th to 11th.
Doesn’t make sense to me (given the Matildas were 10th before the tournament started).

It’s pretty odd, that’s for sure. It doesn’t make much sense to me either.
I thought they would have gone up the rankings by 2-3 positions, not drop down one.

Losing against Nigeria cost us badly, the rankings punish losing to lower ranked teams. I believe that the France game is treated as a draw as well

It really doesn’t make sense. I honestly thought the Tillys were at least a top 5 or top 3 team.

Given that Luis Rubiales’ kiss during the World Cup medal ceremony has been widely condemned and described as “disgraceful, unacceptable and ugly” and more, isn’t it time networks stopped showing it in replay. Surely everyone has seen it at least once. On breakfast TV this morning one report showed the kiss 11 times including zoomed in footage.

Australia won 3 out of 7 games (France game counts as a draw). I think that’s how the FIFA ranking works. So that’s how Australia went down.

The FIFA Women’s World Cup added to the Anti Siphon list
The Albanese Government has amended the anti-siphoning list to include future matches of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
These additions to the list make it more likely that Australians will be able to watch the Matildas for free in 2027 and in future FIFA Women’s World Cup tournaments
