Matildas vs Canada live updates
The Matildas have been here before. The World Cup. A crunch clash against Canada. A result needed. The nation watching expectantly.
I was playing for the national team the last time Australia faced the Canadians in the World Cup, in China in 2007. It was the final group stage match, and we needed at least a draw to progress to the next round. Canada were a dangerous team, led by captain Christine Sinclair. It is remarkable that Sinclair is still contributing for Canada 16 years later.
