Australia's women's team, the Matildas, see their upcoming friendly match against England as a "revenge game" after being beaten by the Lionesses in last year's World Cup semi-final. According to Ella Toone, an English midfielder, this perception is likely due to the strong emotional connection the Matildas will have with the game.
For Australia, beating England would be seen as a way of repaying the Lionesses for their 2023 World Cup semifinal defeat in Sydney. The team was devastated by their loss and Toone believes that feeling of disappointment and frustration still lingers among them.
Toone's comments come ahead of Tuesday's match between the two teams, which is expected to be highly competitive. Both countries have talented players and coaches, making it a great opportunity for spectators to witness high-quality football.
With such a strong rivalry brewing on the pitch, fans can expect an intense match that will keep them on the edge of their seats. Who will come out on top in this thrilling friendly?
