Coach Bev Priestman and the Canadian women found themselves having to adapt again Monday because of conditions above, with the solar eclipse prompting a change in plans on the eve of the SheBelieves Cup final against the U.S. in Columbus, Ohio.
Apr 08, 2024 at 04:06 PM ETThe last time Canada faced the U.S., the skies opened above San Diego and the two teams slogged it out on a waterlogged pitch in the semifinal of the CONCACAF W Gold Cup.
Fleming, the Canadian captain, is an inquiring mind. The 26-year-old from London, Ont., who has won 129 caps for Canada, was a materials engineering major with an environmental science minor at UCLA. Interim U.S. coach Twila Kilgore expects a different game this time around, with conditions expected to be more benign. The forecast calls for temperatures around 19 C with showers.
The Canadians, however, dispatched the Americans 1-0 in semifinal play at the Tokyo Olympics, with Fleming converting a 75th-minute penalty. Adriana Leon, Jade Rose, Simi Awujo and Julia Grosso scored from the penalty spot in the shootout that followed, with Grosso slotting home the winning spot kick, as she did in the Tokyo final. Ashley Lawrence shot high to open the Brazil shootout, won 4-2 by Canada.
