By the looks of their blog, the US WNT has kept busy since we saw them in a 5-4 win over Australia last Saturday. Aside from preparing for the Canada friendly, which kicks off this Saturday at 7 p.m. ET at RFK Stadium, the players have managed to make trips to the Children's National Medical Center and the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington. Five of them even hosted a soccer clinic at a D.C. Police Clubhouse. And that was just Monday!
Looks like the first two games of the tour didn't tire them out too much. And that's a very good thing, because tomorrow is going to require another strong effort.
Last time the US WNT faced Canada it won on penalty kicks after finishing overtime tied 1-1 (Carli Lloyd had the lone goal). As is generally the case for the Americans, the result will be determined by our success finishing. Scoring opportunities and shots aren't normally hard to come by with this team; it's just that final touch in the right direction.
If you're in the DC area, come on out to RFK! It's a great place to watch soccer.
