Soccer Football - FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023 - Group F - Jamaica v Brazil - Melbourne Rectangular Stadium, Melbourne, Australia - August 2, 2023 Brazil's Marta with Jamaica's Vyan Sampson after the match REUTERS/Hannah MckayMELBOURNE, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Brazil exited the World Cup on Wednesday hoping a new generational talent will emerge as Marta's sixth and final Women's World Cup ended with a 0-0 draw against Jamaica that sent the Caribbean side to the last 16.
Having won virtually every individual award in women's football, Marta missed out on the World Cup she had craved, and Brazil's wait for a first goes on.
Sundhage said she had no idea whether Marta wanted to play on for the national team but suspected she would because of her love of the game.
"Whether she’s good enough to be called up to the national team, let’s see," said Sundhage.
"As long as I am coaching the national team, I am going to do a lot of work to find new players.
