The group stage is over and all the pairings have been revealed.
Canadian women's soccer team
After being deducted six points, the team cruised out of the tournament with a three-game winning streak, making it one of the highlights of the tournament.
Drone Sneak Peek Incident:
Before the start of the tournament, the Canadian women's soccer team was deducted six points for using a drone to film the New Zealand women's soccer team training. Although the Canadian women's soccer team appealed against this, it was eventually rejected. This incident cast a shadow over the Canadian team's prospects for the tournament.
Group stage highlights:
Despite the pressure, the Canadian women's soccer team performed very well in the group stage. They won 2-1 against New Zealand, 2-1 against France, and 1-0 against Colombia in the last match, successfully achieving three consecutive victories. With these three victories, the Canadian women's soccer team advanced to the Quarterfinals as the second place in the group.
Quarterfinal against Germany:
In the quarterfinals, the Canadian women's soccer team will face the strong German women's soccer team. It will certainly be a tough match, but the Canadian women's soccer team has gained confidence from their excellent performance in the group stage.
The New Zealand women's soccer team is out:
In stark contrast to the Canadian women's soccer team's rise against the odds, the New Zealand women's soccer team suffered three consecutive losses in the group stage and ended up at the bottom of the table. They were defeated 1-2 by Canada, lost 0-3 to France, and failed to win a single game, losing 1-2 to Colombia in their final match.
