had to start my own thread on my very favorite player in the whole entire world, Sam Kerr here are highlights of her & her Sky Blue team taking on what on paper should the most powerful team in the world, the Portland Thorns. Kerr(#20) doesn't score, but breaks through plenty of times only to be thwarted by Nadine Angerer's point blank saves only one more game left for Sky Blue, but she'll most likely go back to her native Australia and play for the Perth Glory in the up comming W'League
here's a video from a few year back as Kerr's scores on a diving header and shows that she could be a capable gymnast as well
had to bring this threat back on the most exciting player in the world! blissett; knowing Japan has to go through May's player of the month before it can try & win any title, makes me somehow feel warm all over lol! Kerr scores twice & another heluva of a victory celebration
I though she was Maori(but that be more New Zealand). a bio says her dad's from India, her mom from Australia, but then she does have the eyes that look more Asian. If she's Indian, it's kinda odd, since India is known to produce top athletes ^ yet she's so incredible fast & flexible
I only wanted to be ironic about the fact that these days Australia is part of AFC, thus basically considered part of Asia, instead of Oceania as it should. Didn't want to make any particular remarks about Kerr's facial features (kinda pretty, by the way, although her cheeks are a little chubby). She can look Indian, Chinese, Maori, anything you want, but Australia shouldn't be considered a part of the Asian continent!
well I do agree, but the Asian Federation must of had final say and they let Australia in. Getting back to Sam Kerr, yep player of the week once again! Surprise though, I would of given it to Marta with her 2 goals, 2 assists stats vs the Dash. But then again it's the opposition that counts, and even though the Dash finally brought back Lloyd & Brian, they still in last place. So here's to you once again, Sam Kerr
I like how Kerr runs behind Corboz before joining the attack. That shook off Krieger! Edmonds has to switch from Corboz to Kerr, and never quite stays with her.
I am surprised that there isn't already proper celebration here... https://www.nwslsoccer.com/videos/19817857
your link's a bit slow, but they got it at good ole youtube. First goal is simply amazing. In two of them she's clearly marked by arguably the best defender in the world. All this in just 18 minutes, as the announcer says at the end,"she's incredible" .
Sam Kerr's reign as (double) Player of the Month has been ended by... Reign! I am anyway curious to see her in action in the Tournament of the Nation, starting today! Quite excited for this tournament, although Japan's line-up is a little too much experimental for my taste...
any threat on the Tournament of the Nations?(3 out of 4 teams are not the US, so it should be on the International side)
There is one on USWNT forum, and of course we're going to follow it on Nadeshiko Japan's thread also, but I didn't see anything on the international board. Do you want to open one yourself?
Sam Kerr s simply phenomenal! There's a nick name(hat trick) for scoring 3 goals, but why ain't there one for 4?
Insufficient data it happens so rarely, you'd retire before you could do it even once. Insufficient disposable clothing All fans in attendance are already hatless, having thrown theirs after the 3rd. Nothing else travels so far -- they can't throw neckties, that idea won't fly. Umbrellas are too dangerous. Hockey might throw half of a cuttlefish, but that's kind of icky. Seriously, there might be more trebles (league, cup, champions' cup) than quatros. "Quad" means too many things already, especially for a leg sport.
I seem to remember to have heard someone call this a "poker", although I am not sure if it's an official name for a four-goals effort.
I've posted highlights and/or the full game, as I don't think even Hollywood could come up with a better script than Kerr's remarkable achievement; she scores all 4 goals in the 2nd half when her team is down 0-3, hits the cross bar on a pk at the 93 min. mark, but scores one minute later with almost zero time on the clock! highghlights full game https://www.go90.com/videos/7xziUgu4PON
Kerr scored 3 in a row, then Hayes scored a header at 90+1', then Kerr and Hayes combined on the last header. Credited to Kerr for her 4th, but I see a deflection off both their heads.
Sam Kerr had another brilliant week,scoring 3 goals including the game winners in two matches vs Brazil this last weekend/. But unfortunately it might of just caused her the upcoming FIFA P.O.Y.. Don't have all the details, but Kerr bad mouthed the Brazilians rather sharply during a TV interview. Now I don't know if this happened before or after the 2nd game, but apparently that match got way over heated. Here some scenes; http://tx-fns.tumblr.com/post/165514697109/wait-for-it then the Brazilians refused to shake the hands with the Matildas(or at least Kerr) after the game ended so knowing that it's NT captains from around the world who vote for POY. you got to wonder if Latins or the rest South America will not vote for Kerr?
Sam Kerr has jut been awarded MVP of the NWSL league. Earlier this year she won the W-League's as well. Though they didn't have an official award, she obviously was the best player at the Tournament of Nations(4 goals as her team won it). All in all, quite an incredible year for her. Here are highlights on some of the most exciting goals you've ever saw
lay it on baby, lay it on Sam Kerr's rocket obliterates China 3-0 in the just played friendly stats form that game; shots Australia 17, China 3 shots on target Australia 8, China 1
silly Chinese, your just mere mortals vs the goddess known as Sam Kerr! dumb ass coach, that's what you get for not having Zhao Lina in there 2nd game, Australia 5, China 1
