The Matildas registered a second consecutive defeat in the Shebelieves Cup to lose against the US., And a promotion played before the game shows how Americans see Australia as a football nation.
The United States had to fight victory over Australia, seeing a very improved Matildas outfit in a 2-1 victory.
Only three days after they were ashamed in a defeat for the 4-0 tournament in Japan, which the interim coach Tom Sermanni described as 'non-Australian', the Matildas restored some pride with their performance in State Farm Stadium in Arizona Monday (AEDTTT (AEDT).
However, a promotion that appeared in Paramount Plus before the beginning did not give him much respect to the Australian side.
“Australia and football, no,” said the voiceover.
You don't know football. The United States National Team? Yes, we are a big problem.

An American television promotion before the game doubted Matildas's ability in the field
'Four World Cups. Five Olympic gold medals. And against the Matildas, when did they win the last time? A minute has passed. I mean, the United States has history. Listened to Alex Morgan?
Who are Australian football equivalents? Oh, is Mary at Manchester City.
The promotion then played clips of several Australian stars in action.
Wow, that's some fire power. Did you do the semifinals of the World Cup, really? I do not remember how it was. Uu. In that tournament.
'Ok, maybe you do a little football. Let's look at what you have. Give it. '
The Americans scored through Lynn Biyendo only 41 seconds of the party, and Australia seemed to be on another long day in the office.
But with a team that looks four changes in the loss of Japan, SERMANNI troops did well to meet and face face to face with the Americans during the next hour.
The only time the Matildas lower their guard, the world No. 1, USA through Michelle Cooper in the 68th minute.

The front veteran Michelle Heyman went to a Hayley Raso cross in the 80th minute to establish a nervous ending, but the United States was able to keep his head cold and hold on to victory.
While Sermanni juggled with her team, the United States coach, Emma Hayes, made 11 changes from the side that opened the friendly tournament with a 2-0 victory over Colombia.
He showed the enormous depth of the United States compared to Australia, and even if it was a second rope attire, he did not show when Jaedyn Shaw jumped on the left side of the box in the first minute.
Shaw found the former eaves of the victory of Sydney and Melbourne, Biyendo, who hid the Australian goalkeeper Tean Micah.
Australia looked trembling and her defense breathed a sigh of relief when Biyendo had been attributed a second offside only five minutes later.
From that moment on, the Matildas began to mix it with the USA., And although the shooting in the objective were few and distant, at least they stretched and tested the defense of the local team as the half time approached.
Holly McNamara, enjoying her first beginning for Matildas in more than three years, almost received a great breakthrough shortly after part time.
The striker of the city of Melbourne forced the American goalkeeper Mandy McGlynn to an error in the back, which led to an Australian corner.
The Matildas will be in action against Colombia on Thursday.
McGlynn inclined the delivery of Steph Cathery and the United States endured, before recovering control of the party and punishing a period of momentary concentration in the Australian background line.
Cathery and Charli Grant could not contain Allyson Sentnor, who beat Cooper for the second goal of the United States.
Heyman gave Australia some hope when he turned on the Cruz de Raso when he approached full time, but the Matildas could not take a second blow.
Sentnor had the opportunity to kill the game, but some bright Micah gloves denied the American afternoon.
