- The Australian women’s soccer team will get an early indication of their World Cup prospects when they face defending champions the United States in a friendly in Denver on Thursday.
“It’s a fairly daunting task to be involved in your first camp and be playing the number one ranked team in the world but we’re playing with a fabulous group of players,” rookie defender Liz Ralston said.Ranked sixth in the world and boasting one of the world’s top strikers in captain Sam Kerr, the Matildas have a much better chance of winning the World Cup than Australian men’s team, who are ranked 42nd and were eliminated in the group phase at the global showpiece in Russia last year.
Stajcic was dismissed for what the governing Football Federation Australia said was a “poor culture” around the team, rather than for failing to produce results. Experienced midfielder Katrina Gorry and Washington Spirit attacker Chloe Logarzo return after injuries, with 16-year-old striker Mary Fowler lured back after snubbing an international call-up by Stajcic last year.
