CANADA SCORES! 1-0 CANADA. Wilkinson marauds down the right flank. Her cross is headed out into touch. On ensuing corner, Schmidt shorts it to Filigno, sitting at the top of the six yard box. She side foots it into the top of the British goal. A beautifully designed play, and remarkable execution. A really top class goal.
25 mins - The crowd has a new Canadian enemy, as the foul is called on ... someone ... for dumping Scott just outside the British area.
On the ensuing free kick ... SINCLAIR SCORES! What a beautiful goal.
And she's all the way over to the bench to celebrate with the subs. Crowd. Not. Happy.

Canada's line up
GK Erin Mc Leod
Defence Wilkinson, Moscato, Matheson, Sesselman
Midfield: Scott, Schdmidt, Sinclar, Nault
Strikers: Filigno, Tancredi
CDA XI: McLeod, Moscato, Wilkinson, Sesselmann, Nault, Matheson, Scott, Schmidt, Sinclair, Tancredi, Filigno.
That should spread out as a 4-3-1-2, with Sinclair playing in the hole behind the forwards. OR WILL IT?
Obviously, a few suspicious eyes will turn to GK Erin McLeod, who's been at fault for two of the four goals Canada have allowed in this tournament. I won't gainsay her selection now. I will pretend I knew all along afterward, whichever way it breaks.

And in other tournament news, we already know the three other semi-finalists: Japan (winners over Brazil); USA (winners over New Zealand); and France (winners over ... I'm all confused now. This is too many countries.)
So what we have here are three of the four semi-finalists at last year's Women's World Cup. And maybe the team that finished 16th out of 16 teams at that tournament (Canada).
