As the summer rolls on and the World Athletic competition begins, the Blue Jays play on, the WNBA gives us more exciting ball and the buzz aboutI will feel a little heavy hearted that our country's attention is not focused on this magnificent grand stage.
Canadians care about the growth of the game globally in addition to the sustainability of soccer in Canada. Growth of women's football in different countries is a reminder and should encourage Canada to think long and hard about how it can grow, what needs to happen and how we support women's soccer from the grassroots all the way up to the development teams of the national program.
Although Canada's story in Australia did not end the way many of us hoped, it's important to chronicle and amplify. And the journey of this team continues right into September when Canada faces Jamaica in two matches for their Olympic qualifiers. There was a time when Canada's participation at mega tournaments seemed guaranteed but that may not be the case.Supporting the team in September is imperative, and watching the end of the Women's World Cup is also critical.
