“I think Sam coming back now could be a good thing, in the sense that we don’t need to look at her taking over and having everything on her shoulder,” Gustavsson said. “It’s a team effort and a team tournament.” He called her return “the icing on the cake.”add your best player, one of the best players in the world, back into the team? Your captain? That’s something we’ve definitely never had before. I think at major tournaments like this, if anything, we’ve got injuries, we’ve lost players.

Ruso and Mary Fowler used their power and speed to penetrate Denmark’s defensive end and show the world the Matildas are a squad filled with talent.“I knew they could do it without me,” Kerr said, “but it’s been amazing to kind of sit back and watch just how much all of these players that I grew up with have grown into their own – and they’re all superstars in their own making.
“She’s an incredible player, and she’s been building for a while now,” said Catley, who is also her club team-mate. “It’s nice to see her sort of let loose and do her thing and she had so many chances to run a play tonight and do what she does best. … I think my favourite part about what she does is she works just as hard on the other side of the ball defensively and making tackles tracking back.”
There was a viral moment ahead of last Monday’s final Group B match against Canada. Australia were on the brink of elimination, after losing to Nigeria in game two, and needed to top the reigning Olympic champions to secure their passage to the last 16 — and Gustavsson, in an interview with Mark Schwarzer, one of Australia’s most decorated footballers, dodged questions about Kerr.
