**Mackenzie Arnold: Matildas' Goalkeeper Aims for New Heights** Mackenzie Arnold, the Matildas' goalkeeper, played a pivotal role in one of the most thrilling moments in Australian sports history. Following her standout performance in the quarter-finals of last year’s World Cup, where she was instrumental in Australia’s shootout victory against France, Arnold is eager to achieve even more with both the national team and her new club. Describing herself as a late bloomer, Arnold recently released her biography, intriguingly subtitled “My story so far.” This title reflects her belief that her journey is just beginning. “In 2023, I feel like I just got started, and we’re only in 2024, so it didn’t feel right to end it there,” she explained. Recently, she made the transition to the Portland Thorns in the NWSL after leaving West Ham United in England. Arnold is excited about the new chapter in her career, emphasizing the fresh opportunities that come with joining a new team in a different country. With upcoming competitions like another World Cup and the Asian Cup on the horizon, she sees a wealth of possibilities ahead. “There’s a lot more to come,” she stated, looking forward to what the future holds.
