Sam Kerr and girlfriend Kristie Mewis take football so seriously, they'd 'kill each other' on the field.

The Chelsea and Matildas superstar, 29, and Mewis, 31, who plays for the USA's national team, have been in a relationship for almost two years

They've never been shy of sharing of the obvious love and complete adoration they have for one another publicly - but that doesn't mean they aren't acutely aware of how their relationship may look to some coaches, players and fans.

Kerr said while she knows 'the fans support us', both she and Mewis hope every level of the game understands that when it comes to football, there's no love lost between the pair.
