It was a week-and-a-half that rocked Canadian soccer, and now the playing part of it is over. The Canadian women’s national team crashed out of the Paris 2024 Olympics on Saturday with a heartbreaking penalty shootout loss to Germany in the quarter-finals. The reigning Olympic champions had plenty of chances to score over 120 minutes and were definitively the better side, but couldn’t beat German goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger.

There will be a new Olympic champion. And that feeling sucks. Canada were beaten 4-2 by Germany in a penalty shootout after a scoreless draw where CanWNT dominated but couldn’t find the breakthrough they needed. The reality of knockout football is that the better team doesn’t always win. If you can’t finish your chances, you could regret that, and sadly that’s what Canadian players will have on their minds tonight and likely for many months.

Isn’t it nice not to talk about six-point deductions anymore? Now a full week into the Olympic Games, other sports have taken the spotlight at Paris 2024. Whether it’s 17-year-old Summer McIntosh obliterating opponents in the pool, or triathletes vomiting after swimming in the Seine, or robot assassin-looking and cold-hard killer dad shooters, the world is now talking about more than just the Canada Soccer drone scandal. But make no mistake, it’s been the biggest headline of these Games.

Canada loves supporting the Canadian women’s national team. Add in the fact that the eyes of not just Canadians, not just soccer fans, but the sporting world have been on them over the last couple of weeks, and interest in how CanWNT fare at Paris 2024 is sky-high. And it showed on Wednesday when they took on Colombia in their final group game needing to win to progress to the quarter-finals and keep their gold medal defence alive.

Canada made it out of the group stage with just three points to show for three wins. Now CanWNT must get past a mighty German side to have a chance to defend their gold medal. Completing the uphill task of defeating France and Colombia in four days, Canada finished second in the group to avoid Spain and land Germany in the quarter-finals. The resilient Canadian group probably feel like they have already won a medal, but the knockout stages are just beginning.

Alistair Johnston playing down the right flank behind Lionel Messi. Yeah, it’s safe to say we’re here for that. Get Miami to call him. We’d say get Celtic to call Leo, but Miami for Glasgow is quite the swap.

The day didn’t start with nice news for the Canadian women’s national team, but on the pitch in Nice Canada did exactly what they needed to do to ensure an extended stay at Paris 2024. Once again, Vanessa Gilles was the unlikely goal-scoring hero, but this time her match-winning goal sealed CanWNT’s place in the quarter-finals with a 1-0 win over Colombia.

Canada Soccer and the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) have formally filed an appeal against the Canadian women’s national team’s six-point deduction at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. After CanWNT were hit with the penalty as a sanction for violating a no-fly zone to use a drone to spy on New Zealand, Canada Soccer and the Canadian Olympic Committee both stated they intended for the punishment to be appealed.
