Canada schedules rematch down under in Sydney, Australia

Canada is getting its rematch. Canada’s women’s national team announced today that it will face Australia in an international friendly on 23 May in Sydney. It will be Canada’s first contest with the Australians since a 2:2 draw at last September’s FIFA Women’s World Cup China 2007, a draw that in essence eliminated Canada from the competition.



“Even though we are again bound for another big trip, the team is eager to play Australia in Sydney,” says coach Pellerud. “Australia has for years been such an even competitor for us. They have proven to be able to beat all teams around (the world). As late as some few days ago, they held the United States to 2-2 until overtime (the United States won 3:2). Games of this nature help us tremendously in our Olympic Games preparations.”

L’équipe nationale féminine senior affrontera l’Australie à Sydney, en Australie

Le Canada aura droit à sa revanche. L’équipe nationale canadienne féminine senior a annoncé, aujourd’hui, qu’elle affrontera l’Australie dans le cadre d’un match international amical, le 23 mai prochain, à Sydney, en Australie. Il s’agira du premier match opposant le Canada aux « Matildas » australiennes depuis le match nul de septembre dernier (sur le score de 2 à 2) qui a effectivement éliminé le Canada de la Coupe du Monde Féminine de la FIFA, Chine 2007.



« Même si nous devons faire à nouveau un long voyage, les joueuses ont hâte d’affronter l’Australie à Sydney, déclare l’entraîneur-chef de l’équipe nationale canadienne féminine senior, Even Pellerud. Depuis des années, l’Australie est un adversaire qui se situe au même niveau que nous. Les Australiennes ont démontré qu’elles étaient capables de battre n’importe quelle équipe dans le monde. Il y a à peine quelques jours, elles ont tenu en échec les États-Unis sur le score de 2 à 2, jusqu’aux prolongations (les Américaines l’ont finalement emporté sur le score de 3 à 2). Les matchs de ce calibre nous aideront énormément dans nos préparatifs pour les Jeux Olympiques d’été. »
