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?

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.

CanWNT coach Heiner-Moller: Matheson’s return “what this team needs on and off the pitch” 16 Feb 2018 Matheson missed all of the 2017 NWSL season after re-injuring the same troublesome knee that severely limited her participation in the 2015 Women’s World Cup. But she was placed on the Canadian roster for the upcoming Algarve Cup.
NWSL allocation, Algarve Cup roster: New Canada coach puts heavy emphasis on offence 15 Feb 2018 The roster for the Algarve Cup was unveiled, featuring seven forwards out of the 23 players named. Maybe new coach Kenneth Heiner-Moller has been studying post-Second World War Eastern European tactics and is looking to start at least four strikers, or maybe he's going to go way out there and show us off Canada's new-look 1-3-6.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition: Canada loses Algarve Cup final 8 Mar 2017 But Leila Ouahabi’s long-range goal just four minutes into Wednesday’s final was all the Spanish side would need.
