Well, we know France. They are a technical team They do great passing and they have the skill set to score a goal here But Canada has had three days of rest and they've had a lot of chances to learn and grow from the games that they have Played so I think it is going to be a fun match tonight before we talk more about this match tonight Let's take a look at our previous match and some of the highlights as Molly got their first ever win in the world Military football tournament. They defeated the Dutch 3-1 Umu Kony had two goals and an assist in that win over the Dutch again Molly's first ever win something we saw Ireland get last night. What a special and historic moment for them That puts Kony in with the top 11 Players who have scored in the system tournament She scored three goals over the course of the tournament and got a win for Molly and realistically She's tied for second It's Haley Robertson of the United States will showcase this later on but then there's 10 women with three goals each So Kony added her second in the first half added her third in the second half as well as unassists and So about Von Brook over there this please put the back line It was a tough end to the group stage for the Dutch and while the teams are marching out We could take a look at the rankings right now and take a look at the standings and see how everything lines up Heading into this match between France and Canada to take a look at it there again group a action We'll conclude tomorrow. That would be the final two matches of group a in group B France here Shelby has the chance to start three and oh receive nine points And as we said that would be the match of the tournament coming up on Wednesday at 330 local time full teams would be playing to go to the gold medal match on Friday night Absolutely, we're getting to our final days here of the tournament They are fighting for their chance here at the gold for the championship and for the bronze matches And we're excited to see how they come out here and play and that's what we talk about all the time Shelby is to not look ahead to not overlook your opponent I know Canada so far is oh one and one and they have one tie one draw It was against the Netherlands last match. They also lost to South Korea six nil But that's something for France here today to really showcase right away that they're here to play to understand that They can't look forward to that South Korea match until the conclusion of this match tonight Well, Canada knows they're standing in their way for their shot And so they're gonna make it hard very hard here for France to score a goal So Canada today Again, they're looking for that first tally that first goal into the back of the net We said that in last night's match as Ireland defeated Belgium Ireland got a critical goal Late in that match for their first ever win I know Canada of course has had plenty of wins in this tournament But they're looking for their first win here in Spokane as you hear this is a march in the background You could see it on your screen there talk about it every match this unites the two nations And there's a lot of Little boys and girls who are holding the hands of these powerful women out on the pitch It's one of the most perfect shots that you'll see all tournament long They every match the Spokane surf soccer club comes out here Their players get to walk along the players that are playing here in Union Stadium these professional Sort of professional ladies here and what inspiration they get to walk on the field there and before every match So this is a march rounding out here One of the crowd in Spokane we will have the national anthem for Canada as well as the national anthem for France Two wonderful national anthems there for Canada and France See the referees on your screen there I think we're gonna go to tail at the tape first and take a look at the referees So this is the storyline we were talking about it coming in France with those six points Canada with one Canada looking for their first tally they have a gold differential of minus six and then the tally for France right now is plus 12 boy have they been dominant See the flip there and the referees in tonight's match is see the four there on your screen Laura Rodriguez is the head referee from the United States the air one is Megan Mullen also from USA Then the AR 2 is Paul Kavanaugh from Ireland and the fourth official is while Tydel from Belgium Now let's take a look at the starting 11 first for France They are in a 4-1 4-1 Mach Mouffreau is the head coach the keeper tonight for France is Solon Froschie left back is Vahey Samin The left center back is Laugri Borsum and the right center back Colleen Guineau rounding out the back line the right back is Lea Gutierre the holding midfielder is Melisa Goodar The left wing is Lena Tivione attacking mid is Morrican DuPorch Then the attacking mid on the right side of the pitch is Tiefen Brisson a the right wing is Fanny Prone And the center forward is Anisa Bell cast me all right Let's take a look at the starting 11 for Canada under head coach James Lundy The goalkeeper tonight is Alex Hogg left back is Katie Fung left center back is Amanda Cordova on spite The center back this is a 5-4 1 formation by the way So they have five in the back line to Canada the center back is Katie McCaskill right center back is Kate Costello And then the right back to round out the back line is Claudia Rousseau the left mid is Kaylee Carlisle The center mid is Mikayla Talbot another center mid and Kim O'Rourke and the right mid is Paige Campbell to round out the starting 11 the center forward is Emma Perry As both teams are on to the pitch here can we appreciate you joining us for this match? It is 80 degrees Fahrenheit 26.7 degrees Celsius not as hot Shelby as it's been the last couple of days The Sun is still shining here in Spokane, but both head coaches were really pleased with the weather today Definitely it helps not having the heat against your side here on the field, but it is still hot still hot like you said the turf It Superates some heat there for the ladies playing on the field And we saw the Canadian team taking a photo over there on the sidelines before they came out They are truly excited here to have a chance to score their first or to win their first game here So 4 a.m. In France and we say bonjour appreciate you joining us waking up early If you're not up yet, you know, you'll be able to see the replay on YouTube Canada parts of it. It's 7 p.m. We are about 90 minutes south of the Canadian border here in Spokane But maybe you're at the base in Kingston, Ontario or you're in Montreal or Toronto. It's 9 p.m.. There So hopefully staying up a little bit later tonight to cheer on these wonderful Canadian women That's Tiefen Bresona. They're attacking man who plays it out wide here on the far flank Even Bresona now plays it back again to Laurie Balsman So this is the first time in this tournament Shelby We've seen a team play with five in the back You got to think a lot of that is due to the fact that France Scores and they score early and often in matches I was thinking that too with seeing five players in the back a direct line across in front of the goal box They're trying to defend that goal with every last bit of their players and you can tell right here Well France has 13 goals in their first two matches an eight-nil defeat of the Dutch and a five one defeat last match a couple of days We go against Molly So we'll see can this back line can these back five stifle this French attack Not wide here Leo Gutierre Gutierre plays it in Fanny Prone Fanny Prone inside the 18 Cross was deflected back out to Gutierre Gutierre deflection again Kaley Carlisle with a good deflection there But hey summon Left foot cross again is deflected You know even with having five in the back and then four right in front of it And then that one Harry up there in the front You have to think it might be kind of hard not to be crowded in the back line there with that many players Leo Gutierre plays it short could be the first French attack it pings off the post still alive Cleared for now. It's gonna be a French corner boy That shot attempt there by an Isabel Kassme just missed to the right Great job by Macka skill there for clearing it out and right there in front of the goal post So Bell Kassme had a tally against the Dutch in the first match they had and boy that thing clear off the post So we get a corner kick first one of the match on either side Into the 18 low liner cleared away again and guess what we will do it again That is of a hey summon to take it the left back Now something about some into she's actually from Tahiti. She's only been in France for five years in here playing for the French team Sockman Into the six Canada trying to get it out of there that shot was deflected That was Morgan to Porsche who took the try with the right foot So Canada holds for now This is what this French team does. I mean they are trying to score 30 seconds into the match Every single time out they push as fast and as well as anyone so precise on their passes quick given goes Gonna see that a whole lot today It really is the quick given goes the precise patch passes They really do everything with a purpose and you can tell like I said a technical team That uses all of their skillset to get it to the net Now white again here on the New York side And this is Fanny Prone Fanny Prone plays it in to the 18 right foot try is wide of the mark that time by Leo Gutierre and it will be a gold kick for The keeper and Alex Hogg Alex Hogg is a captain in the army from Ottawa She's talking about Alex Hogg But her dad served in the Royal Canadian Air Force and was the reason that she joined the military Her mom is a teacher in Ottawa I think we'll see this a lot in the game too the French defense Switching sides passing it back passing it over getting it to the flanks in order to get another and a better attack on the goal Now wide again. This is Salman Salman left foot cross is nowhere near anyone and it will be another goal kick So seventh minute no-nil between these two Francis control the possession. I'd say about 80 percent so far And that's much to what we expect French and the France definitely the favorites coming in as that's going to be a Quick throw in here Definitely the favorites coming in no doubt about it. I think Canada knows that that's why you see them stack five in the back They're okay with playing a defensive style. I Think Canada would be okay find a way and Score one themselves maybe only allow one in the back of the net This is a chance right away for France good saved by Hogg. It's still inside the 18 and Hogg has to recover here Playback Salman dispossessed Canada trying to clear it and get it away They do for now that shot was by Lena TV on and that shot is saved by Hogg again Well, that was well outside the 18 about 15 yards outside of the box right foot try was by Melissa Gouda Absolute quick hands there by hog being able to make those saves and just at least deflect it away from the goal box Good ball here to Porsche Porsche stops on a dime gets it back good. Yeah looking for a teammate Canada can they clear again? They do for now, but it's right back to good. Yeah I'll place it back to Besson What I like about this wrenching to is they have a quick tempo right they make these plays quick, but Leaving it perfectly good. Yay, but she was offside flag goes up. That's Paul Kavana Assistant referee from Ireland who was on top of that So they're quick right there very quick with their place But they're also very calm right these the passes in the back don't seem rushed They seem like they're taking their time to give their offense of the chance to get in a good position to receive The balls they plan to pass back up right there. So they're calm cool quick and collected Goudaar Keep trying this near side of the pitch They feel like they have an advantage playing through Gutierre. They write back We keep going back and forth between three teams. We've said it a lot, but it's the truth Who is the best team in this tournament? Who's the quickest? Who's the most tactical? Who's the most patient? Three teams that we've queued in on our France South Korean Cameroon Good deflection there part of the back line Katie Fung like fun was waiting She was waiting for one of her teammates to come up being in position for a better pass And then ended up losing it there on the sideline Fung is a nice interception Captain Fung is what they call her flies on the a310 tanker and the Air Force as a flight refueling system specialist She has supported CF 18 in the international exercises and on a multiple and ORAD missions It's what she does. She helps coordinate air-to-air fueling planning with fighter pilots and raids the fueling operation station behind the cockpit The more you know That's pretty cool. It seems like similar in ways to kind of what they do over at Fairchild Air Force Base Interesting about norad is they do that Santa tracking I don't know if you remember that from being a kid They track Santa during Christmas time and that's something we pay attention to sometimes. So that's interesting Have you ever found him? No, I haven't personally Well out wide again Gutierre so quick right foot rocket is saved by hog. That is now the third save for Alex Hogg Well Gutierre being a defender and pushing up that far Helping her teammates up there and making things happen Gutierre 21 years old Say 21 years young In the army for France in the French army right foot try hog was outside the six there Was in that in-between land There are about 12 yards Inside the box About cast me took a try and tried to chase her down there So 12 minutes in Still a match so far possession wise That has been dominated by the French The name of the game is scoring they have yet to do that. So no nail here in the 13th minute Big shout out to Melanie Arsenault one of the managers of this Canadian team everything she has given us Not only a hero serving her country boy. Has she been a hero helping us out Shelly. She has been phenomenal Absolutely without the help from her We wouldn't get to know that these Canadian players better and more personally Learning about a little bit what they do on their off time being that they are in the military learning about their military job And then coming here and playing football. There's the give-and-go could be the first left beautifully right foot try again off the post Bell cast me Never wants to see that post again here on the near side. That's the second time She has put a ball off the post and clearly invisibly frustrated How about a Morgan to Porsche there leaving that ball for Bell cast me Just so witty is to force to leave that ball inside the 18 I'm telling you what Shelby. I was never a good football player soccer player My immediate reaction is ooh the ball's coming to me. I'm going to try and score She leaves it because she knows Bell cast me was on the back side of that play That's what we've been talking about too is Being aware of where your players are having that charisma and just like that one that long pass trying to get Gutierre to it but just having the charisma and the Skill to know okay. I don't have the best shot on it But my team might might and then leaving it there So we talked about Melanie Arsenault helping us out also going to talk about the three Momagers is what they call themselves one of the coolest stories here by Lauren Flaherty as well as Shannon Brown who have helped this team tremendously all of the operations administration in the background prepping the camps Those three wonderful women have really helped not only us but make it show so that this team could be here We talked about it earlier, but they found out in March that they were going to compete It's an attack building up for Canada played out wide intercepted there What a better push by Michaela Talbot the center mid also to a big shout out to you and Matiu For France every single day. He comes to the pitch He walks up to me and says it's a good day every day every time well It is a good day when you get to play Spokane Washington and Union Stadium went against these players and these teams and with your team and representing your nation He's just a very happy human being and he's given us a lot of information on France talked about this team Very proud of these ladies This is an attack building up here for France on the far flank now to the middle of the pitch inside the 18 left foot Tries deflected. It's left for hog and hog will wait it out and then pick up the ball That shot was by TV on over there the left wing But it got deflected so Canada again this back line has been stout so far Shelby through 16 minutes You could runs up there in the front, too I think they they were expecting right that for that five man back to be more on the Defensive but they've had a few good runs in into their offensive half. How about the speed here for France? Inside the 18 could set up the first goal. Nobody was there. They'll cast me left it And in disbelief that time was Fani Prone Prone's intended target inside the 18 was bell cast me and bell cast me tried to do what DuPorsche did earlier and Leave it for a teammate. She didn't think it was for her That wound up Potentially maybe costing France their first goal Well, I think too we talked about crashing the goal There was really only a few people wrench offensive players in the goal box Anyways to get a deflection or maybe help and clean up the mess of that mistake So corner kick coming up for France So be if a hey salmon to take it so salmon here left foot Corner into the box. Here's prony prony sliding trying to set up a teammate DuPorsche Now wide again salmon who just took the corner trying to cross one in low liner left foot try Deflection saved by a member of the back line there for Canada Get to that of harm's way and forces to throw it Really just stifling the attempts of the French offensive here So that was Katie McCaskill who got it out of there made sure that In case the keeper wasn't in the right spot She cleared it away Danger has passed there within your own six Another shot deflected that time moves off the left leg of Tiffin brison it I was thinking the same thing my eyebrows raised up a little bit Super bold of there to pass right there in front of the goal But it's out and they have been able to reset here since then So 20th minute here in Spokane nil nil I think you can see a lot of the strategy for Canada talked about it already, but They're playing with five in the back line It also feels like they're playing with nine in the back line because France has pushed the tempo for the first 20 minutes I Mean you can just see everyone the only player that's even near center circle for Canada is number 16 They're center forward and Emma Perry everyone else is back We talk about strategies all the time And I actually like it from the head coach and James Lundy. I think he's Looking around saying well Why not? this France team they know is Maybe a little bit more talented than this Canadian team, but I think Canada's hopes are And we talk about this a lot and the Canada's hopes are hey We frustrate them frustrate them frustrate them. Hopefully they don't find the back of the net Maybe we get a counter opportunity A 3v3 of some sort We strike once and we win one nil Out of times teams and nations are content with that It's at the end of the day You're trying to win a match any way you can I like the strategy a lot We have to think to the trust that they have in their midfielders to be able to make that counter-attack Okay, we're gonna put you a little bit closer to defense, but Make sure you get it up when we're on the offensive and being able to help Emma Perry there in the front great sportsmanship by Pronee helping Carlisle up on the sidelines Here's Carlisle Deflected again France gets a touch on everything we said it throughout their first two matches It just seems like every 50-50 ball they win Well in that little area right there. There was three four Different Canadian players and it almost looked like they were fighting themselves for the ball. Here's Fanny Pronee New Porsche leaves it left foot try and stopped by hog It was good to a who took a try. I think it was more trying to pass that to a teammate Then it wound up trickling all the way to hog the keeper The speed from Pronee over there on the side to intercept and get the ball back to her defenders to switch the field impressive chance here for France deflection Trying to find teammates here is TV on Salman gets taken down edge of the eight team would have been a penalty kick But Laura Rodriguez who was right there deemed it to not be enough to blow the whistle as home Now why to Gutierre? Gutierre Dancing with the ball dribbling Crosses one in I was looking for bell cast me see if Carlisle wants to clear and she does Left foot cross and a try off the head of bell cast me flag went up by Paul Kavanaugh the assistant referee So it wasn't gonna count anyway Here's Fung Good stop there by Fung could move on Pronee Carlisle Still possessing looking for teammates and this is where sometimes you'll you'll get that challenge Because you have five in the back and you have four in the middle of the pitch So if they're playing defense those four and you get nine back there plus the goalie so ten players You're not necessarily gonna have anybody up The past to what I love about this Canadian team and it really is impressive They are not scared at all. They do not care who they're playing I'm gonna play gritty defense good ball here Waiting for salmon Sockman left foot laser and it stopped by hog boy. She didn't need to touch it there, but I understand Rather being safe than sorry in that instance So hog couldn't catch it. It'll be a corner kick on the far side Rather getting your hands on the ball than a deflection We've seen the deflections off the goal post the crossbar have been deadly in a lot of these matches and really the assistant for a Lot of the scores here. We've seen So I'm gonna take it here trying to set up the first for France It went off The head of a French player Now Emma Perry back to Fung Good movement here from Canada Perry who the idea was right but Talbot Boy if that pass was there Shelby Talbot would have had all the space in the world Those are the little things It's a good build up and a good attack there by Ken not taking that away if that passes there Kayla Talbot had a lot of green in front of her like to If it was passed a little bit quicker They didn't really have a ton of help there the Canadian team So the water break here hydration break So these two nations are going to their respective sides gonna get a little bit of a breather here get some water again It's been hot here in Spokane. It's the right idea by the committee and talk over some strategy That gives us a chance Shelby to look at these system goal leaders To this point it take a look here Haley Robertson still the only player in the tournament with four But as we said earlier, there are ten other ladies ten other names and I'll read them out Kay the Utley and Katie Gernsbacher both from the United States each have three Sonya Bato shek for Germany has three Young Min Lee for Korea South Korea has three and then two French players Morgan Dupors as well as Sarah Palacin each have three for France Tabe eto and on gamma Nonga excuse me have three for Cameroon and then Coney We'll move Coney added two tallies for Molly and the match earlier to reach three So how about that's Robertson still at the top everyone chasing her? That's a cool graphic put together by our team I know John Anderson next to us on the left who's doing a lot of stats work He helped out with that graphic, but it's cool to see and we'll showcase that throughout each of the matches We don't we wanted to let the first week build before we showed that But two French players here that have the chance to tie Roberts Well, you can see there That's just a true testimony to the skill that a lot of these players have well match getting 11 players with three goals throughout the tournament so far It's it's really impressive to see and then how like I said match and well 11 players and just being able to score the three goals within and it could be in one single match or it can be in Multiple matches, but it still counts Something else we didn't get to earlier that I wanted to talk about during the starting lineup graphic But for France no shooley-pasco road today One of their key members on the back line the right center back is out She had two yellow cards in the first two matches so back-to-back matches Mandatory have to sit out a match. We've talked about it a lot, but I Know we're both not necessarily in favor of that rule We understand if you get a yellow or excuse me a red card in a match or a double yellow in a match I'm good with the player having to sit out, but oh It's tough when you get a yellow and back-to-back matches and have to sit out the next one But no pasco road today. Those are the rules not to abide by them Recently speed is just phenomenal. She's running all over the field making sure she gets a touch on the ball 30th minute They'll know between Canada and France Rony's out wide here on the near side Looking for Gutierre Gutierre tried to find prony. There's that give-and-go again Want you to talk about how tough That give-and-go is to defend You know it especially if you don't have enough defenders back there You don't really you can't anticipate a give-and-go at all times and having to guard one player, right? And then moving to guard another player. That's running behind you man. That is tough Gutierre making a run here It's gonna be too much looking at the speed from Gutierre and it just goes past the touch line I was just a little bit too far out of the reach of Gutierre off the right foot of Goudaar It's a week number one In the books is the start of the second week Which means we are getting down to the nitty-gritty there not a great punt Or kick by hog It's gonna be a French throw it But things are starting to shape up we talked about it in the open in the pre-match South Korea awaits France So France even with a loss in this match Still and a draw still could reach the gold medal match but with a loss That ball's chipped in to the 18 in the arms of hog With a lot with a loss they would have to beat South Korea on Wednesday South Korea already has nine points France has six But even if they lose if they beat South Korea, then it goes down to gold differential And that's how it would be determined. So France is in a good spot Regardless of what happens here today and then on the other side of the rankings Cameroon The first to nine points They play tomorrow against Belgium and less Belgium stuns Cameroon This communication there and finally for the first time today the keeper and so infroshi had to make a play Unless Cameroon gets stunned by Belgium Cameroon will be the first African nation to compete in the gold medal match And there's so many stories Shelby that were following and looking at and tracking But those are the big ones and talking about the gold medal match predictions taking a look at things So France and South Korea have set themselves up To try and play for the gold and it also feel like France for South Korea on Wednesday Could be a gold medal match. They just happen to be in the same group. Here is Prone. She has some space Bung trying to get back Prone right foot deflection and it will go right to hog August doing a great job there in the back making sure that No ball gets past her and with the help of her obviously five defenders helping her out is just Really great. And you know what? They've held their own here for the entire first half Katie Fung the left back Her in the right back of the agoutier been going at it Prone And a set up a teammate here Good deflection yet again, but it's right to Gutierre Canada has to reset its defense into the box Bell cast me but the flag went up yet again Paul Kavana all over it Bell cast me It's not time the runs as well as she'd hoped Three times now. She's been called for offside. You have to think about how in sync that five man Backline is to be catching these players offside Handball there was called on Kimberly or work So a lot of looking at the roster for the Canadian team a lot of them have played at the Royal Military College During the same years, and I'm sure a lot of them have actually had a chance to play with each other During 2017 it looks like is where a lot of them kind of overlapped. I think that's interesting They might have had a chance to at least meet each other maybe play a few games and Now come back out here and play again I'm talking about this back-aligned to let's talk about Amanda Kortdweav on spite. She joined the military as a direct entry officer at DEO completing her bachelors of science and Biomedical physiology and kinesiology. I can hardly read those words Shelby. That's how smart Kortdweav on spite is But also kinesiology at the Simon Frazier University SFU She says I'm an air combat systems officer and ACSO And search and rescue on the West Coast So she can be too far from Spokane. No, we're not quite coast-ish or near the Idaho border Or about three hours from Seattle, but also a cool story about Kortdweav on spite Do you want to CAF soccer nationals in 2019 with the Canadian West team? She's a true footballer true soccer player Brony out wide here France still trying to build There's the head of Bell Caspi again step back side of the play inside the 18 and is saved by hog Canada's back line as well as Alex hog continue to stand tall here in the first half It looked like that shot was taken by TV on out wide Salman Salman, could she keep it in? And She did it's gonna be a corner kick boy How about that speed and the wherewithal to boot it off of the defender for Canada so Salman has it Over there on the far flink She wants to take the corner kick right away not even waiting for her teammates to get in there Like we talked about they are quick Salman Can she set up the first low liner not a great ball there from Salman was deflected by Kim O'Rourke Salman wants I don't think we're tracking off side here by this French team It's close to double digits in the first half Well, Kavana's been busy over there Gonna get an arm workout in show me. He's put that flag up. It really seems That even on the many goal kicks that the Canadian team has had It gets lost around the 40 to 50 yard line into the French defense This one knocks over the corner flag and a couple of Canadian members there. We're celebrating that. That's hard to do That's not easy. I might be harder than scoring a goal the throw in here for France Scan the team. They have fun. They have a lot of fun and Right now. I think enjoying this I know they've been on the defensive the entire first half, but they have not allowed a goal against a lethal French team And much of this team are professional players Left foot cross again. Bell cast me was there. It was deflected by Katie McCaskill But that you mentioned the French team most of them play they play together as well There's four of the players that play for OGC Nice There's four that play for RC Lens Two that play for Stodd-the-Roms and two that play for Florie 91 so they also have the chance to kind of play together and really get to know each other a little bit better And then come here and play at this team Right foot try keep looking for Teammates here left foot try saved by hog that was gonna go into the back of the net another great save by Alex Hogg Bell cast me yet again. I mean she's gonna continue to get frustrated Inside the 18 she has pinged two off the post and hog has saved two against bell cast me Well now here the entire Canadian team here is back in the goal box This is not some and taking it different players near the golds on the top of the net and over the goal And either a foul was called or offside something it's not gonna matter But 40 first minute They'll know between France and Canada I'll tell you what if Canada wins this match Shelby It will be the most stunning upset has ever occurred in the 20 years of Woman's system football. I agree and you know, we haven't talked about it But I feel like we have to mention it every match this son, right or Hog in the back Goals she has the Sun shining directly in her eyes over here in Spokane, Washington And it's got to make it real hard for her to see the ball and all of these shots here by the French team And that's what I mean about them saying listen, we don't care who we play We're gonna be warriors out of the pitch and that's what we're gonna do It is not but she has looked like the most comfortable keeper in this match out of anyone If it's affected her she is not showcasing it Absolutely Carlisle making a run. You can't see me, but I'm shaking my head because I agree She has been very poised in the back goal right there Run there by Kaylee Carlisle It honestly also might be the first time that a team who has started out We don't have this that even though we could look it up a team that started out on this side on their defensive third like Canada's and now with hog the keeper in between the pipes inside the six Could be the first time that they don't allow a goal if France can't score here in closing stages And as I say that to Porsche so dangerous, it'll be a corner No, Canadian fans right now are saying why would you say that Alex out loud? I was thinking the same thing French fans of course are thinking the opposite saying okay. Well, maybe I'll jinx it But this is how tough this back line is played Alex hog has been tremendous So TV on to take it they have switched Corner kick takers so not summon anymore. It's gonna be TV on for the second straight time left foot try near the goal And hog has to make a save Boy that thing was bending and curving hog And again with the sun there didn't matter The other through ball and a good one here inside the 18 nice stop by brissonne brissonne left foot bell cast me left foot And it's a goal kick Bell cast me has had a foot or a head On at least half the tries and attempts for france here in the first half they have 14 shots here In this first half It looks like only five on target. I say only five that's still pretty darn good, but five on frame August had to make five brilliant saves It's really been a relentless attack here for the french the last few well in the entire first half really TV on dispossess good defense there By rousseau Gonna try the other side here yet again for gutier The outside of her foot what a ball there by gutier Man that is so skillful So 45th minute Canada this is a win it is a win for canada they go into the break and get to reset I know their back line is gassed their whole team is gassed they've been playing defense all Half long But if they go into the break nil nil shelby it is a win against this french team. No one has done this yet another right foot try Trying to clear Still just outside the 18 You can see the french offense all they're all waiting just waiting for the back line of The canadian team just to make that step back so they can actually make a run and not be offside to the own yet again And off the head hogs gonna waste some time pretty smart here before bell cast me Makes her pick it up So 45 plus what it's going to be 45 plus two So two additional minutes here in the first half Possession has been close to 90 10. We'll call it 85 15 in favor of france But what matters is the scoreboard and there are zeros up on that board right now between these two nations Canada has to hold their back line has to hold for another two minutes to push inside the 18 See if fung wants to get it out of there and she does smartly France has yet to be shut out in a half They know it too. They're making quick passes and trying to get it up the field to get at least one in the back of the net for the first half TV on again Pretty Sunday pretty Sunday trying to play it to her left inside the 18 and who else but alex hog He's been a ball hog today inside the six and that's a good thing She has stopped a ton of these crosses and has made five saves Canada trying to hold off france for another 40 ish seconds And this will definitely help that So this strategy by james londi and the rest of this coaching staff It's been a good one so far. I think it's frustrated france Having five in the back and realistically it feels like nine in the back Making it so that france is not been able to connect Into the back of the net And like you said the french they're pretty used to getting at least one in on the first half So coming out here and just being stifled the way they have been It's got to be so frustrating like you said And now it's up to laura rodriguez the head referee from the united states You can see katie fung was looking at And katie mcaskill there and katie mcaskill said throw the ball on our attacking half And that is the half so for the first time here in spokane The french may be a little bit stunned by the fact that they didn't score Despite dominating possession dominating pace and controlling the ball This canadian back line Has hold stout and hold tough. It's no no heading into the break shelby You know, I'm gonna say I did not expect this I mean the french team has gone so well like getting at least one to two goals in the first half for a lot of these games And being stifled like this the french team has got to be thinking what are we doing wrong? Well, I don't think really not much. It's the canadian team. That's just holding it hard there in the back line So nil nil at the break These two nations going to go talk it over france is going to say Hey, we've got a lot of good chances. Just haven't found the back of the net. Canada's going to be fired up That's the first time the french team has been held scoreless in a half We have another terrific package for you guys our very own matt hester caught up with the dutch team From the netherlands to talk about their team and how excited they are to play in this tournament And to represent their service their country and women everywhere. We hope you enjoy We will see you on the flip side I love it. Yeah, it's such a fun game to do It's um and with these girls it's just amazing. I love it. Yeah, it's such a fun game to do it's um and with these girls it's just amazing because um Everyone like the whole military is coming together and everyone knows something different about the army So you're getting to know like your your country and the the way to defend it as well Yeah, so we're the um national military team for that uh soccer girls, I believe Um, and we're playing for the in the football cup I heard about the national military team. I was really uh, you know really cool I thought it was really cool. And so um, I looked it up and I uh, contacted the team manager and asked them if I could uh Come to the practice and that's how I got here Every time if we have like a tournament We would just um meet up a few times before train and then come to the To the tournament. So like like now here in the u.s. I think we met up like around 10 times So that means that we have 10 days off from work off But we had to practice like um And and make the best of it because you only have like 10 times to meet up So you need to make it worth it and uh and the rest of the year where all of us is just working their their job So for me it's uh immigration But for some other girls, it's just army and and doing what all the military do and this is uh, just an extra thing We're allowed to do but uh, we're just uh Like to be part of it. Yeah, I got in pretty late. I didn't know they were already practicing for the world cup um And then also it's pretty tough to get uh off in the naval academy back home So I heard it on monday and we flew on saturday When you hear about that you're allowed to join the team It's just so you're so very proud that you're allowed to wear this shirt and um once I when I was a little girl long time ago, yeah, um Everyone is if you're if you're joining a team doesn't matter if it's football hockey golf It doesn't matter you always want to like end up the highest that you can and maybe in the end Like go into a national team or something and now that I'm in the military and this came on my path You're like, oh my god, we're just here and we're doing it and uh with these amazing girls. So uh, very very proud. Yeah Yeah, I just think it's super fun that we're all able to be here together And uh, all the powerful women right now are standing up for um Their nation and their rights in a way as well To be honest, I just hope that everything is that we're just working together And we can be proud of ourselves just give it all even if we lose all games But we can say well guys Girls we did everything, you know, and if you if you can look back at this tournament with uh Well, how do you say it set aside feeling like okay? I gave it all there was nothing more left Then I think we can go home smiling And uh, be proud of what we did here back here in Spokane 45 minutes to go here start of the second half between france and canada Shelby first half Domination by the french 14 shot six on target But six big saves from the keeper for canada and alex hog and the back line the back five and we can even call it the back 1110 whatever you want to say canada pushed everyone back and didn't allow a goal. They look pretty good They do like you said, they've been stifling any attempt for the french to score a goal And they might have talked a little bit in the locker room about hey, we've been doing great on defense And we have made this formation to do just that but what about offense, you know When we they do have the few chances to go forward It looks like it's kind of breaking down a little bit there in the center line And we were wondering when we were going to see sarah polissen We were a little surprised not to see her start And here she is right away looking for a goal It's a save by hog yet again, but the flag went up Offside so megan mullen the assistant referee from the united states was all over that But polissen was one of the 11 players we showed in the goal scoring graphic She has three total goals Through two matches. She scored two tallies against molly last match in the ninth and 80th minute and one goal against the dutch So she came on for number eight. So the hey summon is out and polissen is in This is colin guinu guinu Just outside the 18 French are looking to fire right away out of the gates and that is a clear foul It's going to be a card as well. I think Boy, that was pretty blatant there pulling the jersey of katie fun I believe that was prony who picked up the yellow card So now prony has to be careful Looks like there's a sub for canada as well avry stover And the royal canadian navy defender from bowmanville ontario Stover is into the match checking out his amma parry. So that's a defender in For a forward. So if you don't think james londi's strategy And the strategy of this canadian team is to Play defense here in the second half. I think you're mistaken Oh, no, i was just talking about Although their defense is doing very well They're offensive if they they just do not plan to score here Or if they just plan to stifle the french from scoring It's kind of a little bit up in the air right now of what that strategy is And by the way too polissen came in for Salman salmon was the left back So polissen who is a center forward? So it's a defender coming in for canada and An attacker coming in for the french I think it's safe to say that both these teams have those utility players that can kind of play a little bit of both Positions and they're doing it here to porche To porche looking for a teammate polissen Could be an own goal boy. That was dangerous there for canada That was kim orork who got her left knee on the ball. It was almost disastrous But luckily for canada, it's going to be a corner kick here on the near side for france This is the third time That head coach mochba fra has changed The corner kick taker. This is going to be morgan du porche to take it Du porche who has three tallies herself trying to set up the first tally for france here In the second half du porche plays it low bell cast me bell cast me trying to find a teammate Played out wide prony right foot rocket and guess what we've said it before we'll keep saying it As long as alex hogg is going to make saves That is the 16th shot for france and the eighth save for hog What a great play by both players Prony just knowing that she didn't have time to really take any precaution She shot it in there between all the players and then hog catching that ball with That many players in her goal box in her way to see the ball and just catching it perfectly Here's tv on Was it last touched by and it was last touched by canada I'm assuming that's claudia russo who's rocking number 25 today. I have her down this 23. So Said that earlier. I believe that's russo 25 Look, I saw 25 on the roster, but du porche going to take it again. We just saw Ports take it about 60 seconds ago. This one's high in the year and canada clear They can for now and kind of force it throwing You can go with any analogy you want In this match, but david vs. goliath is when we talk about a lot in the broadcast booth and This is what this matchup is and canada understands that It's a reason they are playing gritty and tough defense knowing that If they had three up front, their attacking chances would be minimal anyway Just because of how good the back line is for france And that's a compliment because they understand how tough this match is So to not allow a goal to france 50 plus minutes into the match Is truly outstanding You know, and I think that's why we've seen a little bit more aggression from the french team out here today Is they're frustrated, right? They thought maybe that they were coming out here with their heads high a little bit off of their wins and being able to Make some offensive plays here right foot ball Lag went up. Megan moan was all over it at time by tv on She was trying to be set up there by gudar and gudar the ball was beautiful, but The run was not timed well by tv on You know, I like to see though. I think there's A lot of people not I mean not a ton But I think there's a well or good enough crowd out here coming here to watch the game today I don't know. It might be the weather but getting to have the community And maybe it's the fact that we're not too far from canada either coming to watch these girls play So free kick here for canada and rousseau Rousseau at least making the keeper move there for france That was frochi and remember frochi is staring into the sun Both of us stepped outside to see where the sun was at just before the start of the second half and it is still very much out there Good ball policy and this could be the first for france She's trying to tie haley robertson up at the top of the goal leaderboard playing it out wide inside the 18 left foot cross In a try back to Gweenu and gweenu missed everything One good game of ping pong there that was going back and forth between a couple of players and really just making sure that Someone gets a touch on the ball for a try at the goal 17 shots now for france So there's the head referee laura rodriguez in the united states so two u.s. Referees here we have A belgian referee and an ireland referee gweenu Switching sides of the pitch here another ball guess what right near the 18? I mean the mono for Canada today is wanted out clear it out. That's what they are trying to do here defensively Doing it well By the way, I mentioned that feng was coming off the pitch And stover was coming on stover's actually playing the forward position So listed as a defender, but she's playing On the attack for Canada When I sent feng i'm at perry who of course came off It looks like belkasmis Well now she's going back now. Looked like maybe she was playing in the midfield switched her around Now that policy came in right foot try gweenu and headed away nicely by mcaskill Good interception there by carlyle. We're not going to get to it because basome was back there France also has a great strategy too. I mean they have pushed everyone To try and score a goal here, but they are always leaving one defender there right near center circle Just in case canada mounts a corner I said corner i'm encounter Get to the corner flag and force a corner In case they can counter one of these french attacks The canadian team really has to provide some sequencing shots Here and there. I mean they're at the center field, but trying to get up forward as much as they can Canada trying to frustrate france as much as they can That's what Their strategy is coming in 56th minute. We're now 10 plus minutes into this second half And with every second that ticks off the clock shelby France is going to feel more pressure and more pressure to try and score Maybe that's when you catch france with a counter Trying to prevent a goal here and that ball was not exactly what tv on was trying to do And that's kind of what I think part of the strategy is is with this frustration is you start to cause more mistakes a little bit more Brantic movements trying to be a little bit quicker than you need to be from the french team And that might kind of cause them not to score anymore. Well Score it all in this game here Where rodriguez says play on a whistle there Good ball by deporche And it's going to be A corner kick so prony forces the corner for france So tv on to take the corner this time deporche is clearly taking them on the near side of the pitch tv on will take them with the left foot on that far side Is this the french opportunity? 57 minutes in Off of bell cast me and nope. It's going to be deflected I remember from canada. I looked like that was corduom on spite to it last touched So tv on will do it again tv on left foot and Right to hog So hog although she's wishing herself Her team a good luck in trying to play the best game she can here today She wanted to give a shout out to the cfb Petawawa women and men's soccer teams and wish them a good luck in their league games So I think that's kind of a testament to her character there talking about how she's focusing on her game here at union stadium But wishing a good luck to a couple of her teammates and some friends that she knows from canada And you know that they're wishing her a good luck here and i'll tell you what she's done pretty well But prony trying to set up the first for france and there she is again on cue The ball hog and alex hog yet again stifling the cross by prony Pauluson was wide open on the back side of that play if hog doesn't get there. It's a goal for france Rousseau clears it away for now Ball hog and football is normally not a good thing, but it's great when you're a keeper Do you stop the ball as much as you can making saves stifling crosses? And katie fung doing her part as the left back I think we maybe need to talk to james lonnie the head coach to try to get A nickname made up for alex hog there in the back Right foot cross was deflected still inside the 18 good battle here another cross Stop me if you've heard it before But gutier was looking for a teammate and hog was there again Yeah, there is melanie arsono there and a chance here for pauluson, but the flag goes up so That attempt is going nowhere, but there is melanie arsono. She's who's been helping us out with all the information melanie arsono is phenomenal So maybe we got to give credit to melanie We're coming up with this scheme here for canada No melanie failed to mention some of her personal information on these lists But we know one thing she is so proud of these ladies playing In this tournament and really loves getting to know each and every one of them a little bit better each day Maybe james londi giving the honor to melanie arsono today To be the captain of this ship Whoever came up with this strategy. It's working so far and Forget just the strategy. How about these canadian women? So tough like we talked about in the first half Not playing scared of this french team Understanding what they're trying to do here today And sometimes it's okay to play as the underdog to know you're the underdog Going into a match to embrace that role I think that's what this canadian team has done so well so far through the first 60 plus minutes Still a lot of time here for france to find the back of the net Good ball prony trying to find it here prony runs out of real estate and frustrated there There's tech sergeant coon who almost got belted with the ball That is some of the frustration here and you see it visibly there France is used to scoring immediately As katie fung is down Has the touch line over there for canada But that's what we're talking about The melanie herself running out to see if fung is okay Actually, I think that's the trainer which makes a little bit more sense Yeah, no melanie wants to sprint out there. So katie fung is working so So tough and so well back there It's gonna get back up. You know, she's gonna want to check in immediately Canada does not want to play down a woman here. So fung will check back in whatever she can't Fung is actually new to the military too. So this is awesome that she gets to have Her first couple of years here playing with the canadian team And she's making a difference. I'll tell you that much. Here's gudar leaves it out wide Guineau guineau left foot deflection by rousseau Rousseau is also doing really great there in the back gudar may take one here instead has a teammate And nobody there for france yet again 17 shots to zero for canada This sport at times is very unfair So despite France having possession It has to be about 90 It is nil nil here in the 63rd minute Trying to time the run there was tv on instead. It's played out wide to guineau guineau trying to get it to her right foot gudar Prony prony so fast. Of course she gets there Plays into du porche du porche So good at setting these up right foot cross off the head and into the back of the net there by bell cast me and france who is threatening for 63 plus minutes Gets their first tally of the match bell cast me who was so frustrated Shelby in that first half gets one off the head and into the back of the net Well, you saw that there. They were frustrated in the first half Let's take a look at just passing it there crossing right in front of the goal Like we've talked about and a beautiful header right there to the side net And this time The post was kind to her She pinged two off the post in the first half This time on the better side of the post and into the back of the net So bell cast me has her second goal of the tournament And now at this point shelly. I wonder if canada switches their style around Instead of playing super defensive minded now you need a goal Give them so much credit 63 minutes without allowing france one of the best attacking teams If not the best attacking team in this championship setting It's goalless, but they finally get one there from bell cast me and again, who sets it up This team and this attack runs through morgan du porche Who has three tallies herself this time? Very unselfish beautiful cross into the 18 and a goal for bell cast me It was a a relentless attack by the french team and it paid off there with that beautiful header Coming off the field number 15 So katie fung coming off the pitch here We had a really terrific match as the left back And checking in for canada is number four. That's jesse lea roberts jesse lea roberts is into the match for canada Roberts is a second lieutenant in the canadian army She graduated from the royal military college this year with an honors in english degree pretty Sunday good anticipation of the past there by katie castella Katie castella with a good interception So it took 18 tries shall be 18 shots and france finally found the back of the net For a while, I think a lot of people were wondering could canada hold france scoreless Now the french are trying For their second here Right foot good ball tv on onside flag stays down tv on stops it with their left to a right There's paulison paulison right foot rocket. Are you kidding me? Sarah paulison yet again for france And step aside hailey robertson paulison and robertson now tied for the goal scoring leaderboard That is unstoppable shall be to nil france It really like that the work is paying off that one goal was a motivator Look at her just a step to the side and a nice kick knowing that there's Four defenders coming from me from the canadian team just making it perfectly into the side net paulison who had two last match against molly in the ninth and eightieth minutes Also had a tally against the dutch in the first match Now has four on the tournament And we were surprised we talked about it didn't start this match came in at halftime. Maybe she was banged up a little bit or tired The france has two big ones here in the second half So now that goal leaderboard can be updated Robertson and paulison those are the two in the tournament with four apiece Look there that cross from tv on she Wanted to cross it but ended up going a little bit more towards hog Right around The hydration break here should get a stoppage within the next 60 to 90 seconds or so I just can't wait for france versus south korea. I know we got 20 plus minutes left here, but That is going to be a showdown call it a star studded showdown That's what i'll call it in a couple of days on wednesday If you want to see two teams the most technical teams in this tournament Who are so in sync plays a family play together. It's france and south korea great decision there by As home We know probably the south korean team is Most likely watching this game here unfold at home and in the barracks that they're in But they know now Is the next team to beat I know that they're probably strategizing already to get set up for a win. Absolutely We knew trying to set up a third goal here for france Here's tv on His communication that time between her and pollison but finds the feet of brison a Right foot into the box Again do porsche his left foot And we're near off the foot of brison a two subs getting ready to check in for france 17 is coming on for 12 so that is vivian budo So vivian budo is into the match for fanny prony And then the other sub about to check in 15 for 20 so that's christy govary Govary who had two goals last match and started last match. He's another player We were expecting to see in there. So govary is coming in And checking out for france is going to be Alina tv on 15 in for 20 Chance here for prony Prony still into the match trying to find tv on she's still in as well Those two have not subbed out just yet Right foot rocket and why to the mark You know it makes you wonder Why would the french team after two goals up be changing players? And you know what? I think They want everyone to get a piece of the pie here They want to set up their players for some more goals Like we said Valverice was started last time and not this time so getting her a chance to play in the game as we get into our hydration break here So hydration hydration break here and spoke can 72nd minute between canada and france to nil france Thanks to a couple of late goals here in the second half You have to think france is riding high They are so excited. They have been working for this goal for the entire first half And canada has been strong in the back line and now that they have one and two Goals that they are going to keep the momentum up for the second half for the rest of the second half So melanie arsino talking it over with the canadian team You got to think they're going to go on the offensive here shelby As we welcome you inside the booth here alex schooled alongside me is us air force staff sergeant Shelby prudent johnson canada held as much as they could their shelby But france a little bit too much here in the second half You know, I think we were all wondering can canada hold for the entire first half They did it and I was thinking and they hold for the second half But we saw here france the french team do what they do best and that is score the goals france in south korea I really hope you can join our team as well as these amazing women for that match I mean that is going to be a match of two teams more than likely again not really canned out just yet There's still about 18 minutes left in this match, but if france holds on here shelby, they'll both have nine points They'll both be three and oh in the rankings the winner of that match at 330 pacific time here And smoke can will go to the gold medal match and likely play Cameroon well, like I said, I know that they're watching and if you are watching south korea Be prepared because france is really bringing it here on the field Absolutely, and so now I know these ladies are getting back out on to the pitch here But boy what a match this has been canada held for about 60 or so minutes And then france wound up striking two into the back of the net It was bell cast me Off the header set up by du porche who got the assist and then policy who did it all by herself Just outside the 18 Somehow found the back of the net for her fourth tally of the tournament Great cross there by brison. I really setting up the field for across in to the whole box there we know Now budo just checked in budo left foot liner That goes off of a member of the back line there for canada. That is kate castello Kate is a marine system engineering officer in the royal canadian navy Been in the military since 2017 and graduated the royal military college She will actually be posted to a ship on the east coast in september So kind of finishing out her summer here with the fun soccer tournament and getting to go back to her job here soon Corner here for france and hog somehow skying high to make the play Despite france having two goals here shelby. This has been one of the best defensive performances we've seen from any nation I mean it really is I know that was the mindset coming in but to execute it is another thing Well when you see that many players back like we talked about a little bit crowding becomes a problem communication becomes a problem Offsides becomes a problem and that's not an issue here It really isn't I mean offsides for france is an issue, but the other way around But it was right on keep offside there megan mullen Raising the flag But having to be so in sync with each other the defensive line to be in a line to make sure they're catching these french players Offsides is so talented and impressive to me Staying in that line Good ball here brissonne brissonne instead of crossing it in stops So free kick here for canada Okay, the mcaskill takes it there Pollison Left foot try now a right foot try still inside the 18 Rousseau tried to get it out of there. There is roberts They'll cast me looking for pollison right foot cross Into the 18 good stop on the ball right to left and rousseau not back You know speaking of rousseau she has been lauded a multiple times She was the captain of the royal military college women's soccer team 2019 Won the female athlete award in women's soccer MVP in 2018 So she has a ton of accolades and you can tell here. She's a great defender Into the 18 that was off the head Of budo and budo couldn't get it to go budo left foot good ball left For bell cast me canada is still trying to clear Budo right foot yet again. Why the mark? Budo being in a perfect position to receive that ball And you know what? She's actually played in 2018 at the sism Tournament in el paso as well So she's kind of had a chance to play in this kind of environment and come back here in 2022 at union stadium spoke can washington He talked about club niece It's her club team. That's where she plays It's her professional team who don't left foot Couldn't find the head of her teammate there and gaverie trainer's coming on Looks like that could be du porche. That's Down there for france And it is this is a player you cannot afford to lose if you're france 80th minute here two nil favor of the french Interesting he's all there too the canadian team. They kind of came back in a huddle with hog Talking strategizing a little bit more trying to talk about how they can either Stifled the offensive attempts or maybe have their own here in the last 10 minutes or so Du porche Comes off He's played football since she was six years old part of Team strawsborg Is her club that she plays for Now in the army and briso ne who just had it there also plays for strawsborg Yellow card coming here to bell cast me and bell cast me Did she get a yellow in the first half Kind of remember here. No, I think it was prony who got it. So that's the first for bell cast me Remember who got it there for a sec. So that is bell cast me's first So remember that four players for canada Join this team Couple of days before they left this team Has done a great job of Limiting france's chances here in this match Now up to 20 shots Another thing to talk about too I'm not mistaken france had 14 shots in the first half none reached the back of the net So france's percentage is much better here in the second half. They are two for six What canada's limited france here in the second half shell, but he just six shots That could be the lowest total and should be the lowest total That's bell cast me looking for another shot and another goal for bell cast me On cue they've now scored three times here in the second half on seven shot attempts Policense sets up bell cast me It is three nil france here in the 83rd minute She's been wanting that too throughout the entire game You can tell she's worked hard and you can see her celebration here on the side She's been working for it after every goal and after every missed attempt She's been hitting herself just wishing she could have made it in but that one was a product of the practice there for bell cast me Feels like polisyn is involved in every play doesn't it bell cast me gets her second tally In this match and that is her third now of the tournament. So bell cast me now you can put her into the top Coming 12 names. I think it is tied for second with 10 other players So bell cast me now has three tallies Udo We knew Polisyn just set up the last goal polisyn. What a ball again Gweenu trying to get it to her right. Maybe a little bit too unselfish there now another right foot try is high of the mark Udo is she's really Sliding to the side here and it's Honestly had a ton of room to really make some plays but russo is doing an okay job I kind of coming up to her giving her some pressure before she's able to make a play in the ball That shot attempt was by guzie Make your predictions now Who is going to the gold medal match? Is it south korea or is it france bell cast me just missed The chance at a hat trick there It just talked about buddho who's slipping through the defense here on the near side Great ball into the 18, but bell cast me couldn't connect See i'm interested here the canadian team. They're all kind of in the center And of course there's a ton of them So I think if they bring it out a little bit wider it'll give hogs some more opportunity to get it to a canadian player's foot Udo again just tried the left now the right polisyn with a good run But not timed well enough was off the mark was offside So we're not supposed to make predictions and we're not going to Between south korea and france But also I truly do think it's too hard to predict shelby I mean these two teams Have been dominant in group b as russo gets deflected by buddho and a save By the keeper and hog South korea and france Setting up for a heavyweight fight and a heavyweight match Coming up at 330 on wednesday and funny enough that 7 p.m. Game canada's also playing But they'll be first facing molly at the 7 p.m. Game Canada's still looking for their first goal of the tournament Molly got their first win of the tournament buddho ranging to her right And then tried the near side of that post there Gotta give so much credit to alex hog for what she's done today She shut out france and that first half had to make Six plus saves continues to work Inside the 18 inside the six French team is definitely trying their best to get a fourth goal on the tally end. You can see hog wasted some time here Waiting for it to pick it up and then give the canadian an offensive attack here Right foot cross still looking for belkast me in there There's been two hat tricks in this tournament Hayley roberson back in the first match for the united states Against belgium roberson did it in the first half and then nanga by cameroon did it In the matter of four minutes against ireland Belkast me trying to be the third in this tournament to do just that She's got some time to another save by hog and buddho who got the deflection And deflects it off the american football crossbar What a save by alex hog and then buddho who's kind of laughing about it Can't believe she missed from about five feet out VP of the game alex hog Just making those saves and a little bit of the crossbar there too It's what looked like hog got a hand on it, but actually it was all crossbar But still great diving effort and then buddho Was not going to have a shot attempt any closer than where she was could have tapped it in or walked it in missed high of the mark It looked like from my vantage point that hog maybe got a hand on it, but did not So i'm not going to go down as a save. It's going to be a save for the crossbar And we're being told that this is the first time we've heard this no additional time No stoppage time being added so That should end right about 90 minutes I don't think you ever see that It's gwenu buddho trying to make up for that last attempt trying to set up someone for a potential fourth And it's going to be a corner kick. This will likely be the last attack of the match Quarter kick for team fran So gaverie to take the corner kick here. She scored twice last match within three minutes plays it short We go back to gaverie gaverie can they set up a fourth bell cast me off the head. It's wide to the mark Now we just wait on laura rodriguez the head referee And that is it france beats canada three nil The french team who was frustrated through 60 minutes shelby dominating the match but couldn't score Finally got one from their center forward And anisa bell cast me bell cast me added a second later on but not before sarah pollison who came off the bench Connected into the back of the net and france shuts out canada three nil absolute props to the canadian team the canadian defense But really the canadian team that played the canadian defense And alex hog in the back making all of those saves doing a great job shutting out france for the first half 25 shots for this french team and you are right alex hog Made 10 plus saves in this match and you could see canada I understand that they lost this match, but they just played the best defense Against anyone in the tournament in my opinion that going in as an underdog right so the team that was going Damn a lot of credit and there's so many professional players on this french team So it's only a lot of three goals in the back of the net. I know melanie arsono james londi Have to be very proud of this canadian unit and you saw there on your screen the smiles of a canadian team They are walking off the field happy I mean they did lose but they are excited just to be here to have fun to have this experience Coming together as a team and getting to know each other a little bit better and playing against these players from all these other nations So we can take a look at the updated rankings here So group B action.
