Canada earns historic soccer win over U.S. - TSN.ca

In an historic moment, Canada’s women’s soccer team defeated the top-ranked Americans 1-0 in the semifinal of the Tokyo Olympics on Monday.

"I don’t necessarily feel like Canada has caught up [to the United States]. I think we’ve always been there. We just needed the mindset to be right,” said Priestman. Goalkeeper Erin McLeod and midfielder Sophie Schmidt, who are both on the current Olympic roster but were not named to the bench for Monday’s game, were also there in 2012.

The immensity of the moment can’t be understated for the Canadian captain. Although she didn’t have the impact on Monday’s match that she did in 2012, she is still the heart of the team and a legend within the game. It initially looked like Sinclair would take the penalty as she picked up the ball. Janine Beckie had taken the last two penalties for Canada at major tournaments and had failed to score both times .

“I was just trusting myself in that moment to put it in the spot. I knew I could do it,” said Fleming, who added that she had decided the night before which way she would shoot if she had to take a penalty.

Congratulations and thank you from Georgia!

Sweet payback for last time when Rapinoe gave the ref the ten count in the poorest display of sportsmanship I have ever seen, karma
