Australia has captured its continent as it faces England for a spot in the Women's World Cup final

SYDNEY — Sam Kerr released her autobiography roughly three weeks before Australia's national team opened the Women's World Cup. Kerr is the leader of the Matildas — she's actually among the best players in the world — and as captain of the tournament's co-host team, she was supposed to be the star of the show.

With a win over England, Australia can advance to the final and try to become the only team other than the United States to win a Women’s World Cup on home soil. The nation has gone mad for the Matildas, and their jerseys are a popular clothing item throughout Australia. Support has reached the other, more popular sports: the Australian men’s basketball team adjusted its schedule at the FIBA World Cup so it doesn't interfere with a Matildas game.

England finds Australia's blushing new adoration for Kerr amusing considering she is one of the best players in the game.
