Gary Van Egmond Explains Australia’s Enthusiasm For The Matildas

Tanya & Steve talk to Gary, Emily Van Egmond’s dad, about the strong support for the Matildas as they head into the semi-finals.

LISTEN:

Gary discusses his approach to supporting his daughter, Emily.

“There’s about an 80/20 split, 80% is the dad and about 20% is the coach.”

He also unpacks the quarter-final.

“It was catastrophic…when we went to penalties I felt very confident.”

“It seems like it’s getting aligned…what could go wrong?”

Additionally, he provides the rationale behind Australia embracing the Matildas’ journey.

“We’ve got a chance to win a World Cup here on home soil, that’s never going to be something that we’re going to experience again in our lifetime.”
