The Matildas will be fighting hard for third place against Sweden in Brisbane on Saturday as the team look to shake off the disappointment of Australia’s World Cup semi-final defeat at the hands of England.
“We’re excited,” said captain Sam Kerr. “Of course there was the disappointment the other night. But I think now the focus has turned to the game. Very proud to be here fighting for the bronze medal – the first time any Australian team will do so at a World Cup.”
