« Notre effectif de 20 joueuses est arrivé sain et sauf à Suwon après un trajet de Vancouver qui était long, mais sans problèmes, a déclaré l’entraîneur-chef de la sélection nationale féminine senior Even Pellerud. Dans notre poule, nous devons nous mesurer à trois équipes qui ont réussi à se qualifier pour les Jeux Olympiques à Beijing, à savoir l’Argentine, la Nouvelle-Zélande (représentant de l’Océanie), et le pays hôte, la République de Corée. Si on considère ses performances récentes, la République de Corée sera peut-être l’adversaire le plus difficile. »

The 2008 run to the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament in Beijing, however, will be his last with Canada. Pellerud announced today he will retire from the Canadian program at the conclusion of this season in December.
