Looking at Canada, the gold-medal-winning team of the Olympic women's soccer team, even though they failed to reach the expected heights in this tournament, they still have hidden dragons and crouching tigers in their ranks, and their fighting spirit is high, and their strength and desire to win are undoubted.
Kirsten Sinjaya, a 40-year-old legend on the pitch, has been a marvel to behold. She has scored in the last five Women's World Cup final weeks. Although she may not start every game this tournament, I have no doubt that she will once again show her killer instinct and set a new record of 190 international goals, which is something to look forward to.
The Canadian team is made up of experienced and quality members, including a number of starters who play for Chelsea in the Women's Premier League. Pochallan serves as a solid anchor in the middle of the team's defense, while new Chelsea signee Lorence will play a key role on the right side.
Firmin, the third player to play for Chelsea, was a one-two punch in the Olympic women's final, and not only is she flexible in her midfield movements, she has the ability to change the course of the game.
Nigeria, the dominant force in African soccer, has won the title 11 times and boasts a number of appearances in the final week of the Women's World Cup. Newly crowned Barcelona's leading scorer, Osuyana, will undoubtedly pose a huge challenge to the Canadian defense with her great strength, speed and ball control skills. Not only is she a goal threat herself, but she also creates scoring opportunities for her teammates.
