SYDNEY (Reuters) - After four years of preparation, Australia kick off their home World Cup on Thursday in front of a record crowd at Stadium Australia - and the significance of the moment was not lost on captain Sam Kerr and coach Tony Gustavsson ahead of the game.
"We spoke about that, Sam and me, coming up here. It felt a bit unreal," Gustavsson said at a press conference on Wednesday. "It's actually happening. All the prep work that we've done for years, all the days of hard work, and now it's finally coming together in 24 hours."
