MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia will look to sign off from a successful Women's World Cup in style when they bring their "amazing journey" to an end against Sweden in the third-place playoff in Brisbane on Saturday.

A bronze medal will be little consolation for either team after missing out on Sunday's title-decider but the Matildas are motivated to thank the nation for their massive support throughout the tournament.
