Follow along as the Matildas look to end the FIFA Women’s World Cup on a high.
Wow. So much for giving some players a break, although some of the more fatigued stars could just play 45 minutes and then call it a day. But it clearly indicates the desire to win from both coach Tony Gustavsson and the players.
Arnold, Catley, Foord, Hunt, Gorry, Carpenter and Cooney-Cross have all played almost every minute of the campaign while just 17 players have been used in total. By contrast, only one player from Sweden’s entire squad - their third-string goalkeeper - has not seen any action. As a reminder, Kennedy remains unavailable for the Matildas for a second straight game. She missed the semi-final, described as ill, but she has since been diagnosed with concussion stemming from the quarter-final.
