Zero is my hero: Despite being shut out in two of three matches, Canada takes third at Algarve Cup 6 Mar 2019 To finish third at a tournament, in which more than three teams were participating, without scoring a goal in open play? Impressive. With only one goal in three games? That takes effort. Not since the Seattle Sounders won MLS Cup in 2016 without getting a single shot on target before the penalty shootout has a team been rewarded for being as ineffective in front of goal.
Two games at Algarve Cup, no goals from open play 1 Mar 2019 Right now, Canada is one win, one draw at the Algarve Cup because, really, their goal hasn't been threatened.

At some point, Canada might need to score two to win, or to find the net on that one great chance that comes to them in order to turn a 0-o draw into a 1-0 triumph.

Attack in black: Sinclair’s 178th goal gives Canada a win over Norway 22 Jan 2019 But today’s kit was, well, underwhelming. It was as if Nike was like “quick, we need to get Canada a kit in time for this January friendly!” and sent a couple of boxes of generic black shirts and shorts to Spain.

Canada stuns Germany: Will go to U-17 World Cup’s final four 25 Nov 2018 But, maybe most impressive is the number of shots on target that Canada allowed in the match. Through 90 minutes plus injury time, the Germans managed just one shot on target.
Canada routed by Spain, but hard to assess what this game really meant 21 Nov 2018 There are many, many excuses on offer for the Canadian team after the team closed its group stage of the U-17 Women’s World Cup with a 5-0 loss to Spain.
Canada conquers Kang at U-17 Women’s World Cup 17 Nov 2018 Off a corner, Kang came out to punch, but she only managed to push the ball towards Huitema, whose volley attempt soared high in the air, but dropped neatly over the goal line. With the keeper still trying to scramble back towards the line, the goal felt like it was happening in slow motion.
Canada’s 3-0 win may be the most fortunate 3-0 win you’ll ever see 14 Nov 2018 By the 60-minute mark, the score still at 0-0: "Really, Canada won this game 3-0?"
