'I never thought women's sport would come this far' - Sam Kerr 'buzzing' ahead of dream World Cup

The Matildas star leads her side into France this summer as one of the game's top stars - and could yet become an all-round Aussie legend

She is the 2018 Young Australian of the Year and a Ballon d’Or nominee. She’s also the all-time top scorer in both Australia’s W-League and America’s National Women’s Soccer League.

But 10 years after making her international debut, Australia captain Sam Kerr has more dreams to realise – starting this summer in France.

“I dream about lifting that World Cup trophy and being a world champion,” she admits.
