After theMatildas’ attack found a way to fire on all cylinders without samkerr1, their skipper’s potential inclusion against Denmark shapes as a FIFAWWC bonus, rather than a lifeline. FIFAWWC 7NEWS
“That’s a pretty good position to be in for any team,” defender Clare Polkinghorne said.
“It just goes to show how our other attacking options have really stepped up and taken their opportunity and if cover one of the strikers, then we’ve got someone else to step up and and take the game.” On Thursday, Kerr joined her upbeat teammates in stretching to Shania Twain’s Man! I Feel Like a Woman!, lightly juggling the ball and walking a lap at Queensland Sport and Athletic Centre field.It was the Matildas’ first training session after two days of recovery following the Canada clash, and Football Australia had flagged it was always going to be a lighter session.Forward Kyah Simon was the only player not on the track during the 15-minute window open to media.
Australia have now turned their focus to Denmark, who they beat 3-1 last October, and despite their ruthlessness on transition, are keen to keep the ball better than they did against Canada.“They like to play football, they like to keep the ball, quite technical. They’ve got Pernille Harder in there as well, who’s quite good at finishing.“We are dangerous on the counter, so that is always part of our plan.
