Canada wins its CONCACAF group, will face Panama in semis 11 Oct 2018 Canada will play Panama Sunday, with the winner getting one of CONCACAF’s qualification spots at the Women’s World Cup.
FIFA wants to “optimize” women’s World Cup qualifying — CONCACAF is the place to start 9 Oct 2018 Here’s a suggestion. What would be a hell of a lot better than streaming a World Cup qualifying match from a mostly empty 9,700-seat USL stadium in Edinburg, Tex.? Seeing Canada playing World Cup qualifiers in Ottawa or in Toronto or in Vancouver or in Winnipeg or in Edmonton. Or Victoria. Or Moncton. Heck, there’s a decent stadium in Fort Mac.
Canada scores a dozen against Cuba 8 Oct 2018 With the game already in hand, Sinclair was introduced at the start of the second half, clearly an effort to get her closer to all-time women’s international goal scoring leader Abby Wambach’s total of 184. On a two-player break, SInclair opted to pass to Huitema for a tap-in rather than take it herself. And when Sinclair got no. 174, she did not scream or raise her arms in triumph. She led her teammates quietly back to half.
Prince’s two goals put a shine on an uninspired Canadian effort 5 Oct 2018 So, after Nichelle Prince’s brace gave Canada a 2-0 win over Jamaica in their group-stage opener at the CONCACAF Women’s Championship, all is sweetness and light. Right? Right? A Friday night match in a Texas USL stadium in front of, well, hundreds didn’t provide a lot of fireworks, but three points is three points, uh huh?
Canada wins ugly against a scrappy Brazilian side 2 Sep 2018 But, as Canada preps for the CONCACAF championships — this region’s qualifiers for the 2019 Women’s World Cup — maybe this scrappy 1-0 win was exactly the kind of game that was needed. The Brazilians hacked. They whacked. The game had very little in terms of flow.
Priestman leaves Canadian program, will join England’s national team 3 Aug 2018 Bev Priestman will be leaving her various roles within Canada Soccer to move back to England and take over as an assistant coach with the women's national side.
Stop the cheerleading: The cracks in the Canadian women’s program are there for everyone to see 10 Jun 2018 Sunday wasn’t what we’d call a banner day for the Canadian women’s program.
Canadian HOFer Chapman reflects on the high and lows of a storied career 11 May 2018 “I wasn’t thinking about winning a medal after that World Cup,” she recalls. “There were a lot of hardships that our team went through."
If men’s and women’s soccer were truly equal, then Labbe wouldn’t have had to try and bridge the gender gap 2 May 2018 Sure, argue all you want about women having their own leagues. Make that argument “what if a man tried out for an NWSL team?” My answer is simple. Those arguments would be fair if women pro players had anywhere close to the same money and prestige as the men. They don’t. Not close.
France’s one-goal margin over Canada doesn’t reflect Les Bleues’ dominance 9 Apr 2018 France’s win at home Monday night over the Canadian women’s national team will go as one of the most comprehensive 1-0 wins we’ve ever seen.
