Putting the talk about beds and if the Olympic Games will actually take place aside, it’s almost time for the Canadian Women’s National team to take the pitch. Targeting their third straight podium finish and to “change the colour of the medal” from bronze this campaign, Head Coach Bev Priestman’s side has plenty of skill and experience to make their mark heading into their first game in what will be a tricky group.
This Canada side come into this tournament on the back of a well earned 3-3 draw against the 2017 European Women’s Champions and 2019 Women’s World Cup runners-up Netherlands, showing improvement in their play in front of goal after two straight 0-0 draws against the Czech Republic and Brazil during their pre-tournament camp in Spain.
