SYDNEY : Canada's Jessie Fleming has had Monday's Women's World Cup match against Australia on her mind since the schedule was announced, keenly anticipating facing off against her Chelsea team mate Sam Kerr in what has become a do-or-die Group B game for both squads.
The 25-year-old Fleming was key to Canada's historic Olympic gold medal in Tokyo with her steely-nerved penalty kicks, while Kerr is the Matildas' all-time leading goal-scorer with 63. Tenth-ranked Australia must win in Melbourne to advance to the knock-out round, while the seventh-ranked Canadians need only a draw.
Fleming, who made her senior team debut in 2013, is also one of the best box-to-box midfielders in the game, with a terrific motor honed playing full-contact boys hockey and running growing up. She is an Ontario high school track champion in the 1,500 and 3,000 metres.
