Australia, Canada and Nigeria join Vera Pauw's Ireland in Group B.
STAR STRIKER SAM Kerr spearheaded Australia’s most experienced ever women’s World Cup squad named Monday, with veterans Lydia Williams and Clare Polkinghorne set to play at their fifth tournament.
Centurions Williams and Polkinghorne — stalwarts since their making their debuts 17 years ago — will become the first Australian players, male or female, to appear at five World Cups.“These 23 players not only exemplify what it means to be a part of the tradition of the Matildas, but also what it means to represent the 25 million Australians we know are fully behind us,” said coach Tony Gustavsson.
“At some point, it becomes about what’s right or wrong,” the American told Pittsburgh’s Sound off on Soccer podcast with John Krysinksy last week. “We have less days than a college pre-season to prepare for the World Cup and it blows my mind because we’ve known about this since last year.”
