Sam Kerr's US rival soccer girlfriend Kristie Mewis reveals her very intimate tribute to Kerr after Australian superstar's withdrawal from Matildas' World Cup opener

Sam Kerr was a disappointing late withdrawal from the Matildas' Women's World Cup opener against Ireland on Thursday.

But her US soccer star girlfriend Kristie Mewis attempted to cheer up Sam by revealing a very intimate detail on her own body.

The Gotham FC midfielder, 32, took to Instagram to share a bikini pic while tanning poolside, and revealed a small tattoo that read 'Baby' on her inner thigh.

Referencing a photo of Mewis' soccer boots, Kerr commented 'didn't make the boots'.

Mewis gave the cheeky reply, 'you made my thigh,' before adding a wink emoji.
