.Scott_Stinson: The Canadian women's soccer team have done the seemingly impossible. Now what? CANWNT TokyoTakeTwo Tokyo2020
For the members of the Canadian national women’s soccer team, there is of course a literal answer to this question: After having finally defeated the United States for the first time in more than 20 years, and only the fourth time in history against 51 losses, they will play Sweden for the gold medal.
But when they had to absorb pressure, they did. The Americans surged after halftime of their semi-final, bringing big guns like Megan Rapinoe and Carli Lloyd on as substitutes, and for a time the Canadians were reeling. At one point in the near-empty Ibaraki Kashima Stadium someone on the American benches yelled “It’s COMING,” referring to a goal, and it could be heard up in the press area on the second deck. Given what was happening on the field, it was a decent line of argument.
“We trust our centre backs, our goalkeeper, I mean they were machines tonight,” Sinclair said after the game.Article content
