Australia reach fifth World Cup finals in a row with 5-4 win
“I’m not going to take credit,” Redmayne told Channel 10 after full-time in Qatar. “The boys ran out 120 minutes, and it not only takes 11 on the field but the boys on the bench, the boys in the stands. The boys that missed out in their squad as well. It is a team effort, team game, so I can’t take any more credit than any of the others.”
“I’m no hero. I just played my role like everyone else did tonight. Not even the 11 on the pitch, it was much more than that, it is a team effort.” “I’m just so proud of the players,” Arnold said. “No one knows what those boys have been through to get to here. It was so hard, the whole campaign, and the way they’ve stuck at it and committed themselves to it is incredible.
“Going to a World Cup is massive,” Wright said. “You can’t underestimate what we have just achieved today for ourselves and the whole country, because a lot was riding on it today.
