The subs have improved the whole team, Awujo is better, Lawrence too, Beckie is better. Especially Leon has electrified our attack, with Viens.

We've dominated for 15 minutes clearly and look strong going into extra periods.....as the Germans just miss one ....but we did too!

Unless the rest period leads to significant stylistic adjustments...this is hopefully a match Canada is just waiting to prevail in?  But one goal, first goal.  Canada does look fantastic.  Germany is not helpless.

Definitely fun to watch.  And about 300-500% more quality than our MU20s, our last Canada viewing opportunity.

Can't complain about this effort, whatever happens.

I don't want to go to penalties. I've had my fill of them from Copa America 😣

I did not get that treatment...unless you mean the 100M women's race?  That's kind of important.

Worked their butts off. 

But they needed to just get some shots on the net instead of putting everything over.

Having been the better team for the best part of an hour, we are holding on here.

CBC does give priority to important athletic events even when they don't involve Canadian athletes. The women's 100 m sprint is a marquee event.

[gator]

The 100M race may be a marquee event for some of you but I am tuned in to watch our WNT, maybe some were watching on a different channel, I have it on the main CBC network!

So many little mistakes. Zero reason for Beckie to blast that when she had plenty of space to get a good solid touch. 

[Hawkguy]

I had to step out for a bit earlier. Did Fleming come off at half?

Beckie does that a lot. Her shot selection can be suspect.

yes.  with zero updates on her status.  and the 2nd half substitutes turned the match entirely in Canada's favour, via play

good luck all.

[jonovision]

One of the best 90 minute (I'm not counting the first 30) performances against a top team in some time.

[Colonel Green]

Quinn? Interesting.

[narduch]

The announcer can't count
