Comments Off on WWC squads Kerr fitter and stronger for Women’s World CupMay 29, 2015 By: Penny Category: World Football
Sam Kerr has beaten major injury to get to the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2015 as a 21-year-old, and what she has been through has made her a mentally stronger and more focused individual who is ready to make a major contribution for Australia during the tournament in Canada next month.

![]() Watch the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup LIVE on SBS
SBS is pleased to announce that for the first time in Australian TV history it will be broadcasting the entire 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada, live, free and exclusive – including all Matildas matches.
Kerr, 21, underwent a reconstruction of her left knee when she was 17 and then last December she sustained a further injury to the same knee playing for Perth Glory in a W-League match. The fact the World Cup was only six months away at the time naturally made her nervous about how the injury might affect her chances of making the squad, but she recovered as well as could be expected and flew out of Sydney with the rest of the Matildas on Saturday. Kerr comes across as very mature and determined for one still so young, which is no doubt largely the result of what she has been through and the lessons she has learned in handling those injury issues. “I had a reconstruction previously, but this time I hurt the cartilage in my knee,” Kerr told The World Game. “It’s called a chondral defect. It’s pretty much a hole in the cartilage and I had to get it fixed up and it’s been difficult, but it’s come good now. “The doctors think maybe there was some connection, but not directly, from the ACL injury. “What they did with the new injury was try to regenerate cartilage growth. They gave me a micro fracture in the knee – they drilled holes in the knee and broke it a little bit to cause trauma, and then it bleeds and they try to regenerate cartilage that way. “It’s like a trick of the brain. They try to trick the brain and fix something else in the meantime. It’s pretty hard to explain – I don’t know too much about it in-depth.” Being immobile over the summer, at a time when the W-League season was ending and Kerr would have obviously been planning on being injury-free and looking towards the World Cup, was very frustrating for her. “I had the operation on December 16,” she said. “I was in hospital for two days and then on crutches for seven weeks. I wasn’t allowed any weight-bearing for that seven-week period, which was probably the toughest part of the injury. “It was pretty irritating over the Christmas-New Year break. It was really difficult over that period. “It was in the back of my mind that the World Cup wasn’t far away. It was definitely the first thing I thought about when I got hurt, but the medical staff assured me straight away that I’d be back in time and that made me feel a bit better about it. “I feel pretty lucky that I’m playing again now and ready to go in the tournament.” Asked to describe the effect having to deal with major injuries at a young age has had on her, Kerr replied: “It has made me tougher and also made me grow up a lot. “When you’re young you kind of think you’re invincible and when things like this happen now I know how to react to it and I can support other people through it as well, if it happens to them. “It’s obviously not the nicest thing to have to go through, but it’s more mentally difficult than anything else. It has made me stronger mentally. “A lot of people say that sometimes a setback can make you stronger and it has, with me. “I’ve grown as a person and I know that just doing all of the training isn’t good enough these days, I’ve got to take care of my body on and off the field and be professional about how I act and what I do.” Kerr is one of the major attacking options for the Matildas. She scored two goals as the team walloped Vietnam 11-0 in its farewell match in Sydney on Thursday. ![]() Matildas depart for World Cup in style after hitting 11 past Vietnam
Australia will leave for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in confident mood after tearing Vietnam apart in a 11-0 romp in its send-off game in Sydney on Thursday.
Alen Stajcic is the coach who will steer the Matildas through the World Cup campaign and Kerr said his influence on the squad had been hugely positive. “We’ve had a lot of change,” she said. “Obviously every new coach brings in change, and we’re really positive about what ‘Staj’ is doing. “I think the players have got this inner confidence in each other now that we’ve never really had before. “Everyone is really believing in the system and we’ve become a tighter group on and off the field and that builds success. “You’ve got to be like a family in a squad like this and that’s what we’re trying to create. It doesn’t change totally over a few months, but the process has begun and the World Cup is a good place for us to see what effect it can have on the field. “It’s the world stage, the biggest event in women’s football, and everyone in the squad is very excited to be taking part. It’s going to be massive.” theworldgame Comments Off on Kerr fitter and stronger for Women’s World Cup Ruthless Matildas primed for World Cup assaultMay 29, 2015 By: Penny Category: World Football image: http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/di/library/FFA_Matildas/55/e1/matildas-players-celebrate-a-goal-during-their-11-0-win-over-vietnam_ng3ssqaygow417vcd4rzugowo.jpg?t=2030432765 image: http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/javaImages/1/54/0,,~13718529,00.jpeg Matildas players celebrate a goal during their 11-0 win over Vietnam.Friday, 22 May 2015 – John Greco @Grecs7
The Matildas head to Canada on Saturday boosted by an 11-0 trouncing of Vietnam at a wet Jubilee Oval on Thursday night. More than 4000 fans showed up to wish the side well, with Michelle Heyman scoring a hat-trick and co-captain Lisa De Vanna and Sam Kerr both getting doubles in the rout. image: http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/FFA_Matildas/87/b2/lisa-de-vanna-celebrates-a-goal_1vmkofvjrydf21pwytw7yz78gp.jpg?t=1979819237
“That first 25 minutes was very good and very clinical which is something we haven’t been in the past,” Stajcic said. WRAP: 11-0! Matildas thrash Vietnam “Considering we played this team 12 months ago and struggled to beat them 2-0 in the Asian Cup…it shows how far we’ve come. “We lost a bit of shape and structure after the seventh goal which can happen but I was more concerned with the processes rather than the result at the end of the day. “If we were doing that at training and had no opposition we wouldn’t score that many. “We just seemed to finish everything and that was fantastic, but I was really more pleased with the passages of play.” image: http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/FFA_Matildas/2b/b8/emily-van-egmond-celebrates-with-michelle-heyman_1b8lwrb1v0y76178ggbdj6tj4s.jpg?t=1979819237
After a long fourth month preparation for the squad, Stajcic feels the Matildas are in peak physical condition ahead of the tournament. He knows they will need to step things up to progress from the “group of death” against USA, Sweden and Nigeria at the World Cup but declared his side won’t be intimidated. image: http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/FFA_Matildas/10/5c/matildas-players-celebrate-a-goal-in-their-demolition-of-vietnam_1cdz2i9f13eel1qdkj9kiw8pch.jpg?t=1978864253
“For them to beat us they are going to have to play good football. They will have to break us down. We have a high work-rate in defence and a lot of pressure on the ball. “In terms of attack some of the combinations, our left and right fullbacks bombing on and getting crosses in…attacking midfielders getting beyond the forward line, you’re going to see more of that. “We’ll try and probe and take the game to everyone. That’s part of my philosophy, we’re not going to sit back and die wondering. “If USA, Nigeria or Sweden want to beat us they are going to have to play good football. Otherwise they are going to get beaten.” The Matildas leave for Canada on Saturday and will have three more warm-up games against Switzerland, China and New Zealand before their tournament opener against the USA on June 9.

WA’s Samantha Kerr and Lisa De Vanna have each scored twice in the Westfield Matildas 11-0 thrashing of Vietnam at Sydney’s Jubilee Oval.Football West News Kerr’s Perth Glory Women teammate Caitlin Foord was also on target in the match, which was the Matildas last before heading to Canada on Saturday for the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Katrina Gorry opened the scoring, Michelle Heyman scored a hat-trick and Alleway and van Egmond also found the net in the rout. The match was the Matildas second this week against Vietnam, who had put up more resistance in a 4-0 defeat at Valentine Park. On that occasion, Steph Catley and Foord had found the net inside the opening half an hour before Kyah Simon, in her 50th international appearance, and Heyman struck within a minute of each other early in the second half. Coach Alen Stajcic was pleased with how the squad was shaping up for the World Cup. “The players have worked extremely hard up to this point and there is a real belief among the group that we can do well, so it would be great to see a big crowd for the farewell game,” he had said after the first match. The Matildas face the United States, Sweden and Nigeria in the group stages of the World Cup, which kicks off next month. All FIFA Women’s World Cup 2015™ matches will be live on SBS ONE, SBS HD and online, with the only exceptions being the concurrent group stage matches which will be streamed live online at www.sbs.com.au/theworldgame. http://www.footballwest.com.au/index.php?id=11&tx_ttnews[year]=2015&tx_ttnews[month]=05&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=1569&cHash=6ebfd95e9d9ef392d5d4490561e2cb60 Comments Off on Matildas thrash Vietnam in friendly De Vanna rewarded with Matildas co-captaincyMay 23, 2015 By: Penny Category: WA on the world stage, World Football
After more than a decade in Australia’s national women’s team, veteran striker Lisa De Vanna has been handed a leadership role for the first time, appointed co-captain for next month’s FIFA Women’s World Cup alongside Clare Polkinghorne.
The pair have a combined 175 international appearances and 38 goals between them. Julie Dolan Medallist Emily van Egmond and Kyah Simon were named vice captains. ![]() Mix of youth and experience in Matildas’ World Cup squad
Australia coach Alen Stajcic on Tuesday named veteran players Melissa Hudson and Lisa De Vanna alongside a host of young attacking stars his 23-player squad for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, to be held in Canada from 6 June to 5 July.
![]() Watch the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup LIVE on SBS
SBS is pleased to announce that for the first time in Australian TV history it will be broadcasting the entire 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada, live, free and exclusive – including all Matildas matches.
De Vanna, who made her international debut in 2004, has had a distinguished career as a Matildas stalwart but one that has been marred by controversy. The lighting fast 30 year-old attacker, who will feature in her fourth World Cup campaign in Canada, admitted to being shocked and brought to tears by the honour of being named co-captain. “I was a little bit shocked when I was told I would be a captain,” De Vanna said. “I’ve been in this team for a very long time and a lot of the girls know how passionate I am and how much I go out and play with my heart on my sleeve for this team, so when Staj told me I was going to be a co-captain I cried. “I love what I do and I love playing for my country, and to go out there and lead my country with the talented team we’ve got, I honestly believe this team can go all the way and leave a legacy.” Matildas coach Alen Stajcic said Polkinghorne and De Vanna were fitting choices to share the role and exemplified the values of the squad. “Over the last four or five months we’ve done an extreme amount of work in terms of leadership and growing the team off the field, and these two have exemplified that more than others,” Stajcic said. “I’m really proud of Clare (Polkinghorne) who has been in the role before, but for Lisa De Vanna, the amount that she’s grown has been unbelievable.” Defender Polkinghorne captained the Matildas at last year’s AFC Women’s Asian Cup. “Obviously it’s a massive honour leading the girls into a World Cup,” the 26 year-old said. “I’ve been lucky enough to share the co captaincy role the last couple of years but this is extra special being on the World Cup stage. “I think heading into this World Cup we have set high standards for ourselves as a team, and with the talented group we’ve got there is a lot of potential to go deep in the tournament.” The Matildas will play a farewell match against Vietnam on Thursday at Jubilee Oval in Kogarah (kick-off at 6.30pm AEST) before the squad departs for Canada on Saturday. http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2015/05/18/de-vanna-rewarded-matildas-co-captaincy Comments Off on De Vanna rewarded with Matildas co-captaincy Meet The MatildasMay 23, 2015 By: Penny Category: WA on the world stage, World Football With the A-League done and dusted our attention now moves to the FIFA Women’s World Cup where our Matildas will take on the might of some of the world’s best teams. In a group that includes the USA and Sweden our girls will get a good taste of where women’s football in Australia stands. The girls have had mixed results in their recent outings with a 1-0 win over the Netherlands followed by a 3-0 loss to England. But in their last two games the results have been a sign of hope for the side with the girls thrashing Finland 3-0 and completing a comprehensive 6-2 victory over the Czech Republic. The Matildas will have one final send-off game at Jubilee Oval against Vietnam this Thursday at 6:30pm before heading to Canada for the World Cup. Some of you might be familiar with the names of the 23 players selected in the squad. But if you’re not I’m here to give you a rundown of every player that is taking part for the Matildas in this World Cup. There is one glaring omission from this squad with Kate Gill, arguably Australia’s greatest ever female footballer missing out. Gill has scored more international goals than Tim Cahill with 40 from her 83 caps. 1. Lydia Williams (goalkeeper), 13/05/1988, Washington Spirit, 40 caps Williams has also had stints at Pitea IF (Sweden) and more recently the Western New York Flash. Knee injuries have threatened her career with the talented keeper returning from her second knee reconstruction this year. In the local Canberra League she has been dominant in her quest to regain fitness for her local side Tuggeranong United. 2. Larissa Crummer (forward), 10/1/1996, Brisbane Roar, 4 caps, 1 goal After that she was dominant for her side the Peninsula Power in the Brisbane Women’s Premier League scoring 12 goals as a 15-year-old to lead them to the premiership. She has a good sense for a goal, and will only improve with more international experience. 3. Ashleigh Sykes (midfielder), 15/12/1991, Canberra United, 12 caps, 4 goals She has improved with each season in the W-League and has been one of the main factors behind Canberra’s success. 4. Clare Polkinghorne (co-captain, defender), 1/02/1989, Brisbane Roar, 78 caps, 5 goals During Brisbane Roar’s championship run in the A-League Polkinghorne was the main factor behind it. She has won two championships and one premiership, and is one of the more experienced girls in the team and will always lead by example. She is also a previous Julie Dolan medallist 5. Laura Alleway (defender), 28/11/1989, Brisbane Roar, 30 caps, 1 goal 6. Servet Uzunlar (defender), 8/03/1989, Sydney FC, 45 caps, 3 goals 7. Steph Catley (defender), 26/01/1994, Melbourne Victory, 32 caps, 1 goal 8. Elise Kellond-Knight (defender), 10/08/1990, Brisbane Roar, 55 caps, 1 goal 9. Caitlin Foord (forward), 11/11/1994, Perth Glory, 28 caps, 3 goals In the 2011 Women’s World Cup Foord was named Best Young Player, while she has won the premiership and championship with Sydney FC in the W-League. 10. Emily van Egmond (midfielder), 12/07/1993, Newcastle Jets, 39 caps, 10 goals As the reigning Julie Dolan medallist Van Egmond will be looking to dominate this World Cup, she is a power player who can score goals. 11. Lisa De Vanna (co-captain, forward), 14/11/1984, Melbourne Victory, 97 caps, 33 goals Earlier in her career she was a super-sub for the Matildas scoring more goals off the bench than she would as a starting player. Her dribbling is something purely special to the women’s game, and she is a big key in this World Cup for the Matildas. 12. Leena Khamis (midfielder), 19/06/1986, Sydney FC, 23 caps, 5 goals 13. Tameka Butt (midfielder), 16/06/1991, Brisbane Roar, 45 caps, 6 goals Butt claimed goal of the year for the Brisbane Roar last season, and has claimed a hat-trick in three W-League seasons in 2008-09, 2011-12 and 2012-13. She is the Roar’s all-time leading scorer with 40 goals, not bad for a midfielder. She has scored in four W-League grand finals so loves the big stage, and is my tip to be our best player at this World Cup. 14. Alana Kennedy (midfielder), 21/01/1995, Perth Glory, 27 caps 15. Teresa Polias (midfielder), 16/05/1990, Sydney FC, 8 caps 16. Hayley Raso (midfielder), 5/09/1994, Brisbane Roar, 12 caps, 1 Goal 17. Kyah Simon (forward), 25/06/1991, Sydney FC, 49 caps, 10 goals She scored 11 goals in 12 games, while also becoming the Julie Dolan Medallist, Young Player of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year. She scored the winning penalty in Australia’s Asian Cup triumph, and she was the first ever indigenous player (male or female) to score for Australia in a World Cup. 18. Melissa Barbieri (goalkeeper), 20/01/1980, Adelaide United, 84 caps Barbieri was initially selected in the 1997 national camp as a midfielder before switching to the goalkeeper position in 2000. She brings a wealth of experience to this side and will be a mentor for a lot of the young girls. 19. Katrina Gorry (midfielder), 13/08/1992, Brisbane Roar, 29 caps, 10 goals 20. Samantha Kerr (forward), 10/09/1993, Perth Glory, 36 caps, 5 goals She has played in America for the Western New York Flash, and in the 2010 Asian Cup final, Kerr scored Australia’s only goal in the 1-1 draw which Australia eventually won on penalties. 21. Mackenzie Arnold (goalkeeper), 25/02/1994, Perth Glory, 6 caps 22. Nicola Bolger (midfielder), 3/03/1993, Sydney FC, 5 caps 23. Michelle Heyman (forward), 4/07/1988, Canberra United, 33 caps, 11 goals She won the Julie Dolan Medal and the Golden Boot award for Central Coast in 2009 scoring 11 goals in 11 matches. She has a similar strike rate at Canberra United since signing for them in 2010 and has been part of both Canberra’s two premierships and their one premiership. A nightmare for defences Heyman always seems to find space, and has a deadly accurate shot in combination, she has pace and strength and could form a deadly combo with Simon, De Vanna or Kerr during this World Cup. Other notables Outside of Barbieri playing her fourth World Cup, three players will head to their third World Cup (De Vanna, Polkinghorne and Williams). Ten players are playing their first World Cup (Arnold, Bolger, Catley, Crummer, Gorry, Heyman, Kennedy, Polias, Raso and Sykes). theroar.com.au

More than 20,000 people joined an online survey, hundreds attended 13 community forums and the game’s leaders and key commercial partners provided individual feedback. Speaking at today’s WOFP launch in Sydney, Football Federation Australia Chairman Frank Lowy AC acclaimed the unity of purpose behind the plan. “Ten years ago at the outset of Football’s new beginning, publishing a Whole of Football Plan for the decades ahead would have appeared premature and overly optimistic,” said Lowy. “We first had to rebuild the foundations and restore credibility to our game. “Today, much hard work has brought us to the point where we have the unity and sense of destiny that means the time is right to think big. There are millions whose lives are enriched by Football and we owe it to them to fulfill the game’s great promise.” FFA CEO David Gallop said the WOFP would provide the landmarks towards the strategic objective of becoming the largest and most popular sport in Australia. “Football is on a mission to become the largest and most popular sport in Australia,” said Gallop. “It’s a bold idea, but now is the time for the Australian Football community to bring it to life. “The Whole of Football Plan gives everyone in Football a long-term view of what the game needs to do in order to fulfill its potential and reach its destiny.” The key long-term projections of the WOFP include; · A 15 million strong Football community by 2035, including 1 million club members Gallop also made the point that in developing this plan, Football has made a decision not to be limited by the game’s resources in 2015. “We have a firm conviction that Football’s best years are ahead of us,” said Gallop. “We know that growth will inevitably bring greater revenues and new incomes streams, enough to fund the future.” The WOFP was released today in a multi-media format. Fox Sports broadcast and live streamed a 30-minute special presentation and a new website www.wholeoffootballplan.com.au containing video, text and graphics was launched. The WOFP will now provide a template for the next FFA Strategic Plan for the period 2015-19. This will be published later this year. The WOFP has been endorsed by the nine State and Territory Member Federations and the 10 A-League clubs.
