“OMG what’s a Possie to do?” asks dual-citizen Steve Hall. “I’ve screamed in support of the magnificent Matildas, was at the Denmark game, trembled & sweated throughout the penalty shoot out. They are superb. But I’ve been waiting for England to win the World Cup since 1966 (when I went to four games).
Was at the England v Denmark & Colombia games, wearing my Aussie shirt under my Lioness shirt. Now I sit in Strathfield with a beer before heading for the stadium – wearing my Lioness jersey. I have to support England – but whoever wins, I both win & lose. At least I’ll have someone to scream for in the final.
For this reason, I’ve prepared this entirely subjective “latecomer football fan guide to Matilding your life”.
