Matildas' World Cup semifinal loss to England was not about the finish, but the run towards it

ABC  

Sam Kerr didn't know what she was going to do when she turned her body towards the empty grass and started to run. Sam Kerr's absence from most of the World Cup made the anticipation of her start against England even greater. This was meant to be Sam Kerr's World Cup, but she had spent most of the past two weeks watching it pass her by. The Matildas pushed all the way to the final desperate minute, with Kerr missing two glorious chances to claw her side back, but perhaps, like them, her race had already been run. In the lead-up and throughout the tournament Tracey Holmes brings you the stories and interviews that matter To not just have gotten further than any Australian team has at a World Cup before, but to have done it in the way that they have — giving everything of themselves, scrapping and soaring as each game came and went, letting their hopes and heartbreaks spill out onto the grass for all of us to see — they have changed Australian sport forever, unifying a nation and opening the door to what once felt impossible.
