Matildas star Katrina Gorry has delivered a classy response to a sexism controversy that erupted during Australia\u2019s World Cup opener against Ireland.<\/a><\/p>\n

The star midfielder found herself at the centre of a storm following comments made by Channel 7\u2019s David Basheer.<\/p>\n

Gorry had made a crunching tackle when Basheer stated: \u201cCertainly motherhood has not blunted her competitive instincts, that\u2019s for sure. She is one fighter for Australia\u201d.<\/p>\n

It sparked controversy with the commentator criticised for suggesting becoming a mother would lessen Gorry\u2019s hunger and drive for success. It was also pointed out that such comments are not made in the men\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Gorry was pressed on the comments on Monday but refused to criticise the veteran caller.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard about it \u2013 I don\u2019t take things like that too personally,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really look at things like that but I can see how it got taken the wrong way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure he didn\u2019t mean it in a negative way. Sometimes things just come out in the wrong way, but it is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gorry gave birth to daughter Harper in 2021.<\/p>\n

WORLD CUP PUTS BIG FEAR TO BED<\/b><\/p>\n

With the opening round of group games completed, fears that a first 32-team Women\u2019s World Cup would see a flurry of embarrassing mismatches appear largely misplaced.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, Morocco experienced a painful introduction to the tournament on Monday as their debut ended in a 6-0 hammering in Melbourne at the hands of Germany, one of the favourites.<\/p>\n

Zambia too suffered a heavy 5-0 loss to former winners Japan, but there has been nothing on the scale of the USA\u2019s 13-0 annihilation of Thailand with which they began their triumphant campaign in 2019.<\/p>\n

England, another of the favourites, struggled to break down a Haiti side ranked 53rd in the world and making their World Cup debut.<\/p>\n

The European champions only secured a 1-0 win thanks to Georgia Stanway\u2019s penalty.<\/p>\n

The United States were expected to rattle in the goals against 32nd-ranked Vietnam but settled for a 3-0 victory in Auckland, although they missed a penalty and the shot count was 26-0.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Spain beat Costa Rica 3-0 but it could easily have been more: they had 46 shots to one for their opponents.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing into this World Cup the game has just grown and a lot of federations have grown as well, so I think it is great to see so many countries coming in and making a great impression on the world stage,\u201d said United States defender Naomi Girma.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
