'Weapon': The teen phenom who shone brightest in Matildas' dull draw with USA
I know a couple of you have picked up on my use of pressure release which maybe wasn’t the best choice of words. I meant it in the sense that there is a relief in getting a win, particularly at home after so long away and after the Ireland result. I didn’t mean that there’s suddenly no pressure on the team or that any of the things I discussed that added pressure to this fixture have suddenly been resolved. Hope that clarifies things a bit.
Matildas' homecoming victory a much-needed pressure release
