Wow what an atmosphere! The stadium was packed with over 75,000 fans and probably 80% of them cheering for the Matildas along with us. The ceremony and the match were exciting. Although England scored first, our most popular player, Sam Kerr, scored an equalising goal. As she got the ball the stadium was dead silent and when the ball hit the back of the net everybody jumped into the air with a wild roar. It was fantastic! Despite a good efforts England won, but the crowd was proud of the Aussie team for not only getting into the semi-finals but playing quite well. We all enjoyed the special night and all of the emotion associated with it.
