For the rest that luxury is history. Sam Kerr has spoken about how goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold, who used to be able to fly under the radar, can’t walk down the street without being chased since her penalty shootout heroics in the quarter-final against France. Legions of young fans and their parents line the fences long after matches are finished, hoping to snag a signature or even just a glimpse of the players on the team bus.
There won’t be another World Cup to host anytime soon but now that FA has announced it will not bid for the men’s 2034 World Cup, a renewed focus on trying to host the 2026 Women’s Asian Cup. First the Matildas have to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympics. Failure to do so would be a huge disappointment for this team and its supporters.
