Canada's women's soccer team finally found golden glory after years of tantalising near misses when they beat Sweden in a nerve-jangling shootout to triumph at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. However, much has changed since they celebrated on the Yokohama pitch and Bev Priestman's side head to the Women's World C
Long-time captain Christine Sinclair said the women want the pay dispute with their federation settled before they leave for Australia.
" time's coming where we want it done so as players we're not having to deal with it while we're trying to prepare," the 40-year-old told The Canadian Press.Canada's talisman Sinclair, their all-time top scorer with 190 goals and one of the country's most recognisable athletes, will become the first person to score at six World Cups if she finds the net Down Under.
"Bev has given me a lot of confidence and been challenging me in areas I didn't think I could challenge myself in." Janine Beckie's season-ending knee injury in March was a blow but Canada has had good news including Chelsea defender Kadeisha Buchanan's return from injury late in the WSL season.Buchanan and Vanessa Giles are expected to anchor Canada's back line. Jessie Fleming, fresh off an FA Cup triumph with Chelsea, Sophie Schmidt, who plans to retire post-World Cup, and Julia Grosso should command the midfield.
"Knowing that the country is behind us is our 12th man, it means everything to us to have the support of Canada," Leon said.
