Street Matildas shine at Homeless World Cup

They only met once before donning the green and gold to play soccer for Australia. The Street Matildas have been winning over the crowds with their dogged determination and cheerful team spirit.

The Aussie women are 6th on the table after a win against Cameroon in a game that went down to penalties after the scores were locked at 3 a piece at full time. In other games, they went down to Kyrgyzstan 8-2, Colombia 7-1 and Uganda 4-0. They have their final game against Paraguay tonight.

More info on the Street Matildas and the matches here and here.

If you're in Melbourne, try and get a long to a few of the remaining games, all the details on the Homeless World Cup website.
