If it wasn’t bad enough for the Matildas to have Sam Kerr watching from the sidelines with a calf injury, rising star Mary Fowler is also sitting out tonight’s match against Nigeria. Fowler has a mild concussion after an incident at training on Tuesday, leaving Caitlin Foord the only recognised striker (aka the players good at kicking goals) in the starting lineup. Luckily for the Aussie women, they banked that 1-0 win in their opening match against Ireland and are sitting on top of their group. If they can pull off a win tonight, it will guarantee us progression in the tournament. But don’t be fooled by Nigeria’s ranking of 40th in the world – they managed to hold 7th-ranked Canada to a 0-0 draw, so they are tougher competition than they look on paper. Put on your agenda today to pray to the football gods…
