The following video goes for nearly an hour, but to me, every minute is gold, as we are taken through the greatest event in women’s sporting history in a very personal and amazing way. It’s particularly meaningful to me because I played in the tournament with the Matildas and it was my first of three World Cup experiences. Not only that, but these true pioneering champions of my sport were my heroes and if you watch it, you will see why.
What these women created as a team of champions coming together to form a champion team, I have witnessed nowhere else.
My experience of the USA WNT (Women’s National Team) began as a 17 year old in 1997 when they toured our shores. We were lucky to touch the ball! My last experience was pure joy, as I scored a goal against them in the Athens Olympic Games, to draw the game. They then went on to win the gold medal, their final swan song as the female ‘Dream Team’.
Enjoy watching my heroes…
