When you watched Canadian Brittany Timko run dead on to American goalkeeper Hope Solo at the Beijing 2008 Olympics, you knew it had to hurt. In fact, she was hurt – two broken ribs and a collapsed lung after the collision late in the second half before extra time. Canada had reached the quarter-final stage against the world’s number-one ranked USA, but eventually lost the match 1:2 after extra time and were eliminated by the Olympic champions.

Rhian Wilkinson knows what it is like when a team gets on a roll. She was there in 2003 when Canada surprised many and reached the semi-final stage of the FIFA Women’s World Cup USA 2003. The team ultimately finished fourth, Canada’s best result in four appearances at the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Rhian Wilkinson le sait parfaitement bien lorsque l’équipe est en feu.

L’équipe a terminé au quatrième rang cette année-là ; la meilleure performance jamais rendue par le Canada depuis ses quatre dernières participations à la Coupe du Monde Féminine de la FIFA.

For young forward Christina Julien, it took her just a few hours from the time she was called to the time she was on a plane heading west to the Canadian national team camp organized by newly-hired head coach, Carolina Morace.
Pouvez-vous réagir à la vitesse d’un éclair? Dites-vous bien que lorsque l’équipe nationale vous lance l’appel, vous avez l’intérêt d’agir le plus rapidement possible à risque de perdre une occasion rare qui s’offre spécifiquement à vous. Dans le cas de la jeune attaquante Christina Julien, il lui a fallu à peine quelques heures à partir du moment où elle a été appelée jusqu’au moment où elle a pris un vol d’avion vers l’ouest afin de participer à un camp de l’équipe nationale canadienne organisée par la nouvelle entraîneure-chef Carolina Morace à l’époque.
