Box2Box - Craig Foster as Matildas’ Asian Cup final history repeats, Cerys Jones on Sam Kerr’s Chelsea future

The Matildas have fallen to Japan 1-0 in the final of the Women's Asian Cup, remarkably for a third time. Former Socceroos captain Craig Foster returns to assess the success of the tournament - which broke all manner of records - and reckon with the legacy of a group that have achieved greatly, but still lack a crowning glory. Furthermore, with the Brazil 2027 Women's World Cup coming into focus, attention turns to the direction of Joe Montemurro's ageing squad. The Athletic's Chelsea reporter Cerys Jones returns amid reports that Sam Kerr could be on the way out of the club where she's won eleven titles. Also on the agenda: Senegal sensationally stripped of their AFCON title, Manchester City lift another League Cup, and the Socceroos' away kit polarises.
