Judging by their shot attempts, Canada players believe that the goal is about ten times larger than it actually is...
one VERY long VAR including a recheck by the ref. Then there were all the normal things. I really expected 9 or 10.
90+2' (of +7') 1-0 Sinclair settles at 10m mid-right, backpass to 16m center, Schmidt swings one-touch right foot and slices it waaay high over bar. 90+3' (of +7') 1-0 Leon goes to 12m wide right, cross past spot headed away. 38,078!

90+4' (of +7') 1-0 Blackstenius chases to 3m box right, ground cross back to 14m center. Asllani runs on through arc top, Schmidt gets a touch just-in-time and deflects it left, Canada clear into near touch. 90+4' (of +7') 1-0 Sweden subs in (3 of 3) #19 Anna Anvegård for #11 Stina Blackstenius.
I really miss John Herdman. He would have kicked those girls' asses from the moment they started to show a poor approach to the games.
Well I guess this was exciting if one were a fan of either team but for a neutral it was somewhat less than that.
Poor Canada but they only have themselves to blame. It will be interesting to see if Sweden can finally exercise their demons and beat die Mädels in a major tournament.
