Australian Matildas

On Wednesday host nation Australia face England in Sydney in the second semi-final of this Women’s World Cup. The winner, in progressing through to the final, will make history: neither team has previously played in a World Cup decider. Who will prove crucial on Wednesday night at Stadium Australia? We run the rule over four key match-ups that could decide the game.

Lucy Bronze v Caitlin Foord

Australian keeper Arnold saved three French spotkicks, while missing one of her own in a 20-penalty spectacular that had 49,461 fans in Brisbane Stadium on tenterhooks.

Australia's tenth-choice penalty taker Vine slotted the deciding kick to send the Matildas into the World Cup semifinals for the first time in their history.

Even aside from the shootout, and don't worry we'll get to that, she was so impressive all night.
