D'oh! Canada


Exciting.

Gutt-wrenching.

Inspiring.

Heart-breaking.

It was quite the ride and I'm sad that it's come to an end. 

Christine Sinclair, with her dogged determination, showed us once again why she's a star.


And Kadeisha Buchanan, with her calm, effortless technique, easily convinced us that we were witnessing a rising star. 

 

Sure, it would've been sweet to see Team Canada move onto the next stage...and then win the cup, but we've got 2019 to look forward to, as the squad just keeps getting better and better.

So while our hearts are heavy with the pain of defeat, let's take comfort knowing that not only did the ladies qualify, they fought a good fight.  Our men's team on the other hand hasn't qualified for a World Cup since...

1986.

Ouch.  Hopefully this takes the sting out of our nation's loss.  At least a little anyway.
