Canada has itself to blame for FIFA’s Sinclair and Herdman omissions 2 Dec 2016 Why was Canada’s women’s national team coach so angry? Because Christine Sinclair, who moved into the No. 2 spot on the all-time women’s international scoring list in 2016, wasn’t on the shortlist for The Best FIFA Women’s Player Award. (Herdman was also skipped over in the coach-of-the-year selections).
Erin McLeod’s injury will keep her out for at least a year 6 Apr 2016 To be frank, it's pretty bad — about as bad as any Canadian fan would imagine. She won't be available for the upcoming Olympics and, in terms of her recovery, we're talking years, not months. And, as you'll see in the statement, she says there are "no guarantees" that she makes a full recovery.

While Canada loses its opener, Germans send a message to U20WWC field 6 Aug 2014 After seeing the Germans and Americans square off in the Group B opener at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium, I can tell Canadian fans this much. Now that Canada has lost its opener (1-0 to Ghana at BMO Field), the best it can realistically hope for out of Group A is to scrap its way into second place. And that will mean, unless the world turns topsy-turvy, Canada would face the Germans.
Beckie’s move from American program to Canadian program highlights U-20 roster 16 Jul 2014 Over the past two NCAA seasons, Janine Beckie has scored at a torrid pace for Texas Tech.

The triple crown 25 Jun 2014 Sura Yekka is still in high school; and she has the chance to do something that’s a true rarity in either men’s or women’s soccer. She’s already represented Canada at U-17 World Cup; she’s expected to be one of Canada’s stars at this summer’s U-20 World Cup. And, she’s likely to make the senior squad for next year’s Women’s World Cup. Three World Cups at three age levels in just over a year. How many other players could boast such a feat?
