She skippered Australia in a record-breaking World Cup only last year. And now she has a bone to pick. 🤔
"We had a home World Cup last year with basketball and football is a way bigger sport in the world. We broke a lot of records for basketball last year in the World Cup and it's been amazing to watch the Matildas just absolutely knock all of that out of the park," Madgen told Wide World of Sports.

"It's been awesome," said rugby sevens star Maurice Longbottom in an interview with Wide World of Sports. "We can't market women's sport how we've marketed men's sport in the past. We've tried and we've failed and as a result of that failure we've said things like, 'Well no one cares about women's sport', or, 'They don't have the same sponsorship or money because no one's invested'. But the reality was we were marketing it all wrong," de Rozario told Wide World of Sports.
