Eric – Denise O’Sullivan – what a surprise! 😉 – scored the winner in the Republic of Ireland’s 2-1 win over Finland and was named Player of the Match.
Dale – Brazil’s match with the Matildas was thrilling viewing, but the team’s celebrations with the Brazilian fans at Western Sydney Stadium was something special to behold.
Steffen – Clare Wheeler backed up her busy and impressive second half performance against Brazil on Tuesday with a 30-hour trip back to Denmark, followed by a full game for Fortuna Hjørring and her first goal for the club.
Cheryl – Adelaide United player Josh Cavallo, who came out as gay in the past week and whose courage will help other young people in a similar situation.
