It sure is easy to see why Herdman has been talking down expectations for these women.

McLeod has been excellent. Schmidt and Scott have been okay, and not all the rookies have been bad given their inexperience. But through the first half it's amounted to a game Canada certainly doesn't deserve anything from, and it's not just a Christine Sinclair-sized difference.

Why the backpass in the 59th?! Should she have shot at goal? SOOOO close.

It sure is easy to see why Herdman has been talking down expectations for these women.
He was wise to do so; but it was also expected. The team is in a rebuilding phase. I haven't been uber optimistic but I am not impressed. I roughly expected the current performance.

EDIT: So Buchanan just got a yellow. Who else got one? I remember there being another.

You know, the first half looked like a learning experience, but under the circumstances (ridiculously young team, quality opposition away that's had longer to prepare), the second half was excellent, averaging out into a game that was just pretty darned good for Canada. Well done!

I saw Robyn Gayle being far more effective than grandma Wilkinson. I liked Prince too.

Solid second half effort by the squad.

I also noticed Gayle being a stabilizing force on the backline when she was subbed in. She had a great spark, was fast and made some smart runs. Great to see.
