Patty Mills and his Boomers teammates knew who deserved prime time billing, so they rescheduled their game and will keep watching Australia’s historic run at the Women’s World Cup.
It’s fair to say Matildas fervor has reached fever-pitch across Australia, which is co-hosting the tournament with New Zealand.
“Just like the rest of the country, our Boomers team have been locked in for each game, watching it as a team.”Times for elite-level Australian rules football matches were adjusted last Saturday so players, staff and supporters could catch some of the Matildas’ dramatic penalty shootout win over fifth-ranked France in the quarterfinals in Brisbane.
It seems almost everyone in Australia wants to watch the Matildas, either on TV, or in dedicated fan zones in the host cities that have attracted tens of thousands of people, or in pubs and clubs from the state capitals to tiny Outback communities.
