Cortnee Vine: ‘I sometimes forget that I actually play for the Matildas’ | Mike Hytner

The Sydney FC winger’s meteoric rise is expected to result in a spot in Australia’s World Cup squad – but she still can’t help asking ‘do I belong?’

Cortnee Vine needs a new car. Her old one, a modest Kia Picante that made an unlikely star turn in Disney’s docu-series about the Matildas after it broke down on camera, was written off in April. Another vehicle had careered into it while Vine was away on international duty in England, and while she waits for a replacement, the down-to-earth winger is borrowing a somewhat more lavish set of wheels.

“I’ve actually got a supercar at the moment, which is pretty scary,” Vine says. “It’s another impostor syndrome moment.”
