The injury-addled Matildas have few chances left to impress before the Olympics and face a tough opponent in San Antonio on Wednesday morning (AEST).
It has begun. The Mexicans have just kicked off. They are attacking the left side of this live blog, the Aussies to the right.The Matildas prepare in Texas.Not quite like seven inches from the midday sun, but it is 31 degrees and sunny in San Antonio, and it’s still around 6.30pm-ish over there.
At their last major tournament they were beaten in the semi-finals 3-0 by Brazil at the CONCACAF Gold Cup - but in the group stage, believe it or not, they actually beat the Americans 2-0. The US fielded an extremely strong team too, featuring the likes of Lindsay Horan, Trinity Rodman, Sophia Smith, Lynn Williams, Crystal Dunn, Rose Lavelle … the list goes on.
It’s a bit of a worry, though, that Gustavsson still doesn’t know whether Hunt and Gorry in particular will be fit for Paris. Kerr, bizarrely enough, hasn’t been officially ruled out yet either, but we all know she won’t have recovered from her ACL injury in time - even her father, Roger, has said that publicly.
