Canada’s current generation aims to be golden. MORE:
When the final whistle blew in the fourth minute of stoppage time at Ibaraki Kashima Stadium on Monday in Tokyo, jubilant screams and cheers from Team Canada filled the empty stadium as they celebrated one of the biggest moments in Canadian soccer history.
That can change on Thursday when Canada faces Sweden, the same team that knocked Canada out of the 2019 Women’s World Cup in the round of 16. The London, Ont. native didn’t disappoint. Fleming’s penalty kick found its way past American goalkeeper Adrianna Franch, sending Canada to its historic victory.
Joining Fleming in Canada’s midfield is Quinn, who was part of the bronze-medal winning squad in Rio in 2016. Making their debut with the senior team in 2014, Quinn has continued to establish themselves as a mainstay in the starting lineup. Forward Janine Beckie has continued to grow as a leader for Canada, and the 26-year-old had a brace in group play to send Canada past Chile.
