England face Australia to decide with will face Spain in the 2023 Women's World Cup Final.
The gazes were distant and so were Australia’s World Cup hopes.
It was July 27, and the Matildas had just lost 3-2 to Nigeria in their second match of the World Cup. This had been a frightened performance, overwhelmed by both the weight of expectation and Nigeria’s own belligerence. At that point, no host country had ever gone out of the Women’s World Cup in the group stages. Having entered as potential winners, Australia needed to beat Olympic champions Canada to avoid that fate. They would have to do it without their best player.
The clouds had gathered and the vultures were swooping. Australia’s tournamet appeared little more than a carcass to be picked over. Tony Gustavsson needed answers. If they weren’t forthcoming, he needed a shield at the very least. The affable Swede, formerly Jill Ellis’ assistant with the USWNT, was facing a third successive major tournament failure and was being assailed by criticism on every side. Listen to this roll call.
