The magical wave that Australia had been riding for the last month is over. And even if the players haven't processed it yet, they have pride in what they accomplished.
Kerr said the team's plan all along was to build up her minutes so she could be ready for the semifinal and final. And here she was, fit and raring to go with her neon-pink cleats making it easy to spot her on the field. When her name was announced in the starting lineup over the stadium loudspeaker during warmups, the 75,784 fans in attendance roared in unison.
Then, with England leading 1-0 in the second half, Kerr had the moment everyone had been waiting for when she sliced up the Lionesses' back line, pulled up from distance and sent the ball sailing into the top left corner to equalize in the 65th minute. Fans screamed their heads off, waved ‘Go Matildas!' flags, and Kerr jumped into the air and pumped her fist.After the game though, Kerr couldn't bring herself to talk about her lone goal of this World Cup.
"Knowing Sam, she probably thinks that goal wasn't worth nothing," he said."She wants to win. She's a winner. I'm happy for her that she got that goal. I think it proves who Sam Kerr is and what she can do. I also know that she's upset that she missed the two chances at the end of the game. That's how she's wired. She always wants to score. She did everything.
