How some of the Matildas' biggest stars are in line for a huge payday despite falling agonisingly short of their World Cup dream

The World Cup dreams of the Matildas may have been crushed - but their earning capacity away from the football pitch is set to skyrocket.

According to Australian-based sports agent Andy Craig, the likes of 20-year-old Mary Fowler and Hayley Raso are set to be flooded with sponsorships and brand endorsements that will be larger than their club salaries for Manchester City and Real Madrid respectively.

Cult hero goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold - on the books of West Ham United in England's Women's Super League - is another expected to be widely approached following her tournament heroics.
