FIFA Women’s World Cup – Canada in the quarter-final

Canada will play England in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, Saturday at B.C. Place Stadium, in Vancouver.  This takes them just two victories away from the World Cup final.

“England are a very good team and I know my team loves rising to those sort of challenges. It’s going to be great,” coach John Herdman told CBC Sports.

The pressure remains “but it just feels different,” he added. And employing a mountain climb as metaphor, he continued:

“It’s almost like you can see the summit, you can actually see it now. And the players have got an absolute focus that it’s not falling off the cliff any more, if you know what I’m saying. You’re not looking to fall off the cliff. It’s about there it is, we’ve got to get there and you’ve got to push through that and do anything it takes to do it.”
