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.

They’re here to invest in Canadian rivalries. It’s hard to strike up a rivalry, as you guys know, with Miami and Puerto Rico. But if you say Calgary’s coming up for an Al Classico, and suddenly everybody wants to see the rivalry. I thought it was a brilliant response from the Edmonton community.”
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.
Labbe to play for Calgary Foothills this Saturday 15 Mar 2018 Stephanie Labbe will take a major step Saturday in her quest to claim a spot with Calgary Foothills.
Canada comes back from two down to beat Norway in error-filled friendly 28 Nov 2017 Canada was terrible in the first half. Norway was even more terrible in the second.
Canada loses to the United States, again. Or did we win? No, we lost. Or, did we? 12 Nov 2017 If you didn't live through the 90 minutes, Canada Soccer has provided a fine highlights package that can help us all sleep well tonight. If you watch it, you'll see that Canada didn't lose 3-1 to the Americans Sunday night in San Jose; no, in fact we won, 1-0!
