It was our biggest sporting story of 2023. The Matildas conquered the hearts of a nation. They captured the attention of most of the globe.  And for the first time, the humble and hard working Steph Catley - who was the stand in skipper when we needed her most - recalls the moments of the Matildas memorable World Cup on home soil.  From the moment she messaged her mum a selfie of her in her Matildas jersey, to pumping her chest after hitting the back of the net in a World Cup in her home city.  This really is what dreams are made of. It's goosebumps central in episode 200 of the Howie Games.  *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/" aria-label="Link https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/">https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/</a> Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames" aria-label="Link https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames">https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
