Canada’s Women’s Soccer Team Aims to
Win World Cup at Home
The 2015 World Cup Kicks Off
in Edmontonon Saturday, June 6

One year to go and one giant goal: Canada’s women’s soccer team, which thrilled the country with a bronze medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics, aims to go a quantum leap farther next year, winning the 2015 World Cup at home.

It is, however, a long way from here to there. The top three countries in women’s soccer have been locked in place for more than two years (the United States, Germany, and Japan) while Canada has been fixed in a respectable seventh. The bronze in London, after the crushing controversial defeat against the U.S. in the semifinals, was the unexpected result of inspired play. It was awesome – but not exactly easily repeatable.
