England and Australia took care of business in their round of 16 matches Monday to advance to the quarterfinals. FOX13
and powerhouse forward Asisat Oshoala are not to be underestimated, so if you’re looking for an upset , this is the match for you.
But even if that’s the match most interesting to you, you might want to make time for the second fixture of the day… because t’s time for the Sam Kerr show to begin at last. Australia’s captain , Kerr suffered a calf injury in training just prior to the beginning of the tournament. While she was fit for the Matildas’ final group stage match against Canada, she remained on the bench, and her team made it through to the knockout stage without her on-pitch assistance.
But now it’s time. Again, if the disappointing early exit of the U.S. team has left you in need of a roster to cheer on, you may want to consider the Matildas. The host country has never made it past the quarterfinals – their 2007 6th place finish is the high watermark for the team thus far – but with Kerr at the peak of her powers and a home crowd feverishly cheering them on, it’s fair to say that the Aussies will be formidable.
