ESPN's The Far Post discuss the Matildas' 2-1 win and how the win wasn't pretty but sometimes that's how you have to get results in tournament football.

With four goals to her name already, ESPN's The Far Post laud Alanna Kennedy's move into the midfield and how her goalscoring is helping the Matildas.

Clare Wheeler was one of the Matildas' standouts against the Philippines with ESPN's The Far Post heaping praise on the versatile midfielder.
