Two days after their crushing loss to North Korea in a crunch Olympics qualifier, a distraught Matildas skipper Cheryl Salisbury has told au.fourfourtwo.com of her devastation when she realised her Olympic dream was over.
"After the final whistle blew, when I got up off the ground and looked around, the rest of the girls where scattered all over the field in tears, alone in their own world of shattered dreams," Salisbury said today from Northern NSW.
The loss means North Korea are a dead certainty of winning the group and going onto Beijing in 2008. For the Matildas, it's the end of the road for their chances of making the Olympics - a very highly regarded tournament in women's football.
The Matildas return to Coffs Harbour in two weeks time to begin preparations for the World Cup in September.
