Matildas and Alexandra Cook.

The saying in football "you're only as good as your last game," means Caitlin Munoz and Amy Chapman are pretty good. Australia 1 Brazil 0 was the Matildas last game!

Matildas stars Caitlin Munoz and Amy Chapman take time out for a photo with Alexandra Cook, Matildas fan and Majura Soccer Club junior, after their Nearpost radio performances this week.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter has said, "women are the future,"

when talking about the growth of the World Game. And for once I agree with Sepp!

When Majura Junior Alexandra Cook heard we had not one, but two Matildas coming into our radio show she got her Australian tracksuit on and came in to listen, learn and meet her football heroes. Amy and Caitlin also signed the back of her tracksuit.

Alexandra plays her football at Majura Soccer Club. Having entertained the crowds with numerous and wonderful goals in the Under 7 and 8 girls some years ago, she's now playing in the Under 10 boys competition.

Amy Chapman who grew up playing against boys thinks this may help a young girls game development. This was Amy's experience when she started playing.

Certainly an interesting point.

Women and girls football is growing across Canberra and Australia at an amazing rate. With the increasing profile of the Matildas don't expect this to stop anytime soon.

For now Alexandra, who also referees Under 3s for Majura, can perhaps dream one day of playing for Australia and beating Brazil.

But on Saturday she'll be back down Dickson Oval doing what she loves, playing football.
