Argentina are missing some players through injury and because the Copa Libertadores Femenina is playing through the FIFA window so Boca Juniors players did not travel.
Their U20 team is also currently playing at the South American games.

Should be an easy game for Canada.  The Argentinian most dangerous player Yamila Rodriguez does not appear in their list.

The last time these two teams played in one of the She Believes competitions, it was a chippy affair.  I don't expect us to lose to Argentina, but I doubt it will be an easy game.  Lots of bruises and cleat gouges all around.

From the looks of things, we need to be in the Top 6 in the world rankings at the end of this window in order to be seeded for the World Cup. We're currently 7th. Can any of the rankings whizzes work out what needs to happen in order for us to move up at least one spot in the next week?

Women Rankings calculations are different than men (don't ask me why) this is harder to come up with all permutations involved. 

The basic premise is that Canada not only have to win but also score a lot of goals as it rewards you for bigger goal margins. 

So in this window, we need to win both by at least 2 or 3 goals AND hope Netherlands do worse. 

Netherlands got their match cancelled today and play #13 Norway Tuesday. So if they draw or win, then we're in second pot regardless of our results since we play #31 Argentina and #76 Morocco. If they lose, then permutations comes in play.

NVM - clicked on something else.  Not sure of the game is on or not.  The schedule isn’t saying it is on but it is often wrong. 
 

2nd EDIT:  NVM - it is on.

Damn that should have been a goal by Lacasse.

And 1-0.

Where do you get live rankings?

I thought Spain would also be a factor.

Turns out you're were right.  Spain was a factor.

Funny thing is that Spain got totally unexpected results from top seeded rivals with their rather makeshift B team. So that opens up a much better path for them in the World Cup, meaning they just might be able to justify turning the B into the A.
