World Cup match will be an ‘arm wrestle’ between Australia and England

Football journalist Lucy Zelic says she expects to see an “arm wrestle” in the midfield during Australia’s semi-final as England attempt to break down the Matildas.

“There are some similarities in the two teams in that we have both had to go to extra time and penalties … but they have also equally been just as frugal in their changes and their substitutions as well,” she told Sky News Australia.

“We’ve got some tired bodies out there.”
