Kerr found her scoring boots

Yes. One in each of the finals so far.

It was a very good solo goal from her to clinch the win against China.

Yes Kerr's goal was a ripper. Aussie girls improved in that semi but Japan in the final looks a very tough task.

... but Japan in the final looks a very tough task.

Japan just that bit more polished, scored a fine goal early on and managed to hold onto their 1-0 lead for the rest of the match.

Aus played quite well and took it right up to Japan, but it was not to be (again).

[alfie]

Was a spirited effort from the Aussie girls but Japan a bit too composed. Did think they (Japan) played a little more conservatively than expected late in the match which actually opened the possibility of an equaliser - were one or two decent chances but the keeper was too good.

Best team won no question.

[Durhamfootman]

well done to the Aussie women, for a sterling competition

do the Aussies have a collective pronoun? Jill's or anything like that?

Ah.... Matilda's..... of course

bleeding obvious really
