It's good to see the players easing some of the pressure surely to be on them in Rio with some lighthearted fun in training.

The Canadian women's national team played one heck of a prank of coach John Herdman for his birthday yesterday. The coach was turning 41, and his players did not let him forget.

It happened at training yesterday, where the team was preparing for today's closed door friendly against China. That's when a seemingly furious Allysha Chapman confronted teammate Melissa Tancredi during a shooting drill. The two started shoving, with Tancredi eventually throwing Chapman to the ground.
