Australia’s all-time leading scorer is set to be the face of the tournament.
AUSTRALIA HAVE NEVER progressed past the quarter-finals at seven Women’s World Cups but with Sam Kerr leading an in-form team in front of their home fans they could go all the way this time.
The Australians beat Spain early in the year before stunning European champions England 2-0 away in April, ending the Lionesses’ 30-game unbeaten run. One of the world’s best women players, the unassuming Kerr admitted a home World Cup brought extra pressure — but also opportunity. But like Gustavsson, she insisted the focus was one game at a time, starting with their Group B clash against Ireland on 20 July in Sydney in the second game of the tournament.
