Robbie Gaspar who was the first Australian footballer to play professionally in Indonesia and now works for the Professional Footballers’ Australia as a Player Development Manager, talks about the impact of defeat on the Matildas.


How might have the Matildas’ recent loss against Norway impacted on them psychologically?  Did Australia have unfair expectations?  Why did the Matildas perform so poorly in the shoot-out?  Robbie Gaspar suggests the Matildas will rise again and Indonesia needs to think about the infrastructures to build Indonesian female national team.
