Can Canada Continue Olympic Soccer Magic in Quarterfinal Against France?

The tournament has already been a success, but the Canadian players aren't looking to go home just yet.

Canada really never should have beaten France for the Bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics. France dominated them in that match, a fact it seems forever lost to time after Dianna Matheson's medal clinching goal. But there was something magical about that Canadian team, something that France just couldn't seem to undo.

If the Canadian team had indeed bottled up that magic from London, they chose to release in on Tuesday, when they defeated Germany 2-1. It was the first time in their history that Canada has beaten the current World number two, and has many believing that a medal is once again within reach.
