Match Report

Canada's women's national team had a light training session today at the Zhejiang College of Sports in Hangzhou. The women are in between matches at the FIFA Women's World Cup China 2007. After a 1:2 loss to Norway (Norge) on Wednesday night, they are now preparing for their match against Ghana on Saturday (15 September).

Starters from the previous night's match had a light workout while the rest of the players were able to do more in training. The coaches were also split up: two coaches went to the training session while two coaches stayed back at the hotel to review match video of their most recent game and their upcoming opponent, Ghana. Ghana lost their opening match 1:4 to Australia last night.

Canada will practice again tomorrow at 14.00 (Hangzhou time) at the Zhejiang College of Sports with media availability following the session. There were no games today after all 16 teams played their first match over the first three days of the tournament. There are four matches on 14 September: Argentina vs. Japan, England vs.
Deutschland, Sweden (Sverige) vs. United States, and DPR Korea vs.
Nigeria.

Canada plays Ghana on Saturday, 15 September at the Hangzhou Dragon Stadium. Canada has played Ghana but once in their history: four years ago on 16 August in Seattle in preparation for the FIFA Women's World Cup USA 2003. Christine Sinclair scored for Canada in a 1:1 draw.
