Australian football icon Tim Cahill has been called out on social media after a rather peculiar Matildas post.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the Matildas semi-final World Cup clash against England on Wednesday night, the Socceroos star attempted to throw his support behind the squad.<\/p>\n
FIFA\u2019s official World Cup Instagram account uploaded a split video of Cahill\u2019s heroics, showing off two goals he scored for Australia.<\/p>\n
\u201cCahill shone brightest in green and gold. Will one of the Matildas fire her way into the history books in their semi-final?\u201d the caption read.<\/p>\n
The 43-year-old commented on the video with three flame emojis, but he took things a step further by reposting the video to his own personal account.<\/p>\n
Cahill posted the video of his goal scoring antics along with the caption \u201cHappy Matildas Day\u201d.<\/p>\n
Social media users were quick to call out Cahill for attempting to make the historic day all about himself.<\/p>\n

One user commented on Cahill\u2019s post: \u201cIt\u2019s not about you today champ.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another added: \u201cIt\u2019s about the Matildas not you mate.\u201d<\/p>\n
A third wrote: \u201cGo Tillies, here\u2019s two of my goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
A final user commented: \u201cThis is as self indulgent as it gets\u201d<\/p>\n
Australia and England will face off from Sydney\u2019s Stadium Australia at 8pm (AEST) with the winner advancing into the World Cup final to meet Spain.<\/p>\n
The Matildas have not lost so far in Sydney, defeating Ireland 1-0 in the group stage and Denmark 2-0 in the Round of 16.<\/p>\n
England have played two matches in Sydney thus far, but only the one at Stadium Australia, a 2-1 defeat of Colombia.<\/p>\n
Their other fixture in Sydney was a clinical 1-0 defeat of Denmark in the group stage at Sydney Football Stadium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
