I’m hope I can repeat my ticket luck from when the Women’s World Cup was here. 

I lived out East back then, only ended up seeing one match (the  -  Ro16 that was played in driving rain in Moncton). It was a great experience though, honestly seeing an event as big as the WWC in  was super special.

Riviere, Beckie, and Scott are all out as expected. I’m surprised Marie Alidou didn’t get the call up, so far she’s scored 8 goals in 9 games throughout the 2023-24 UEFA Women’s Champions League season with Benfica.

Canada defeat Brazil on penalties (1-1, 4-2) and are through to the She Believes Cup final! Solid win heading into the Olympics this summer. 

 

Up next, an encounter with our long time rivals the United States on Tuesday, for the title.

Tough loss to United States in the final, going down on penalties (2-2, 5-4) but we’ve always struggled against them historically so far from surprising. Leon with two goals and a penalty shootout goal and is looking to be a major factor for the Canadian team heading into Paris. 
 

FYI, there’s no overtime at the She Believes Cup.

That’s such a good result for us !

Canada’s women’s team played Mexico in two pre-Olympic friendlies. 2-0 win in game 1 and 1-1 tie in game 2.

Canada’s men’s team tied FRANCE (yes, France!!) 0-0 in a pre Copa America friendly earlier today!!  

 
 

Signing Jesse Marsh might just have been the best thing Canada Soccer have ever done. 

Edit: I will add that this was a French A-team. Canada created some solid scoring opportunities too, it’s not like France was controlling 90% of the match.

Women’s team defeated Australia 2-1 in an exhibition in Marbella earlier today. Solid win leading up to the Olympics.
