Caitlin Foord on Chances, Sam Kerr’s Goal & the Matildas Crowd | Post-Match

How important was it to get a result here tonight in terms of a draw? It doesn't affect final group standings or who we play next, but getting the draw, how important was that? Yeah, I mean, we knew we had to win today if we wanted to top the group. Yeah, we kind of left it too late. But yeah, I mean, I'm kicking myself. Had early chances. If we put those away, it's probably a different game. So, yeah, I just think we made it hard for ourselves tonight. Tell us a little bit about those chances. You know, a bunch of them did fall to you, and it's been a bit of a theme of this tournament as well in terms of missed opportunities. Where does that land in your mind? Yeah, I mean, I think we just... Well, me, I have more time than what you think. And I think it's just, yeah, that composure that I've lacked in these last couple of games and need to be better at. And yeah, I mean, we have to be clinical and it changes the game. The positivity to take out of it, that we are creating those chances? Yeah, no, we're definitely creating and we are on top. So, yeah, it is about finishing those. And I mean, we need to tighten things up at the back as well. We conceded too easy tonight. And yeah, it just needs to be better all around, I think, if we want to win this tournament. One of those chances tonight was brilliant, created by yourself for Sam. What was your view on that goal? Yeah, I mean, I think we could have done more of that. And me personally as well, we picked the ball up in the pocket and they just dropped off us. So to, yeah, draw someone in and slip them in. But yes, Sam took it well and credit to her for the finish. Another enormous crowd here tonight as well. And as I say, the roar for that third goal was one of the biggest for Matilda's game that I've heard. What was the feeling like in terms of another big crowd? Yeah, no, they were massive tonight and they definitely pushed us to get that third goal. And I do believe if we had a couple more minutes, we would have got another one. And yeah, that would have been off the back of the energy they gave us throughout the game. And a word on looking ahead. The opponents, I think, will be either China or North Korea. What are you looking forward to resetting and going for the next game? Yeah, it's going to be, I think, a tougher game than what we had tonight. So we have to just recover now and prepare well. And yeah, do it the hard way.
