Women's World Cup 2023 Live | Australia Vs England Semi Final 2023 | Football Match Updates Live It seems harsh that one of Australia and England will be relegated to the third place match, as both have been worth their weight in gold so far through the 2023 Women's World Cup.
As the two clash in the semifinals in Sydney, the hype in both nations is palpable. The co-hosts are abuzz with excitement, as all of Australia clings to their beloved Matildas, who have put forth performances which could alter the direction of the sport Down Under.
England too have energized the Lionesses fanbase, but not in the same way. The European giants have not been their selves this tournament, forced to dig deep and procure narrow victories in games they will have been expected to win by larger margins. Yet that should not be seen as a affront to their performances, but rather a nod to their ability to adapt and survive amidst an increasingly competitive women's football environment.

England reached the Women’s World Cup final for the first time thanks to a stunning 3-1 win over co-host Australia on Wednesday. Ella Toone’s first-half goal gave England a deserved lead, which was later canceled out by Australia superstar Sam Kerr’s long-range stunner in the second half. But Ellie Carpenter’s error in defense allowed Lauren Hemp to restore England’s lead, before Alessia Russo ended Australia’s hopes with a goal on the counterattack as the Matildas went in search of a late equalizer. The pain and heartbreak of defeat was etched onto the Australian players’ faces, with many of them reduced to tears as they applauded their way around Sydney’s Stadium Australia to thank the fans for their unwavering support. Led by the inimitable Kerr, Australia had real hopes of becoming just the second host nation ever to win a Women’s World Cup. Though the disappointment will no doubt linger for some time, when the dust settles the team will be able to truly appreciate the impact of their performances on women’s football in the country, with record ticket sales, attendances and TV viewing figures coming to define this tournament. England, meanwhile, is beginning to exert itself as the dominant force in international women’s football under head coach Sarina Wiegman.
