Canada vs. Germany: What you need to know
Canada will attempt to keep alive its hopes for a fourth consecutive Olympic medal when it faces Germany on Saturday in Marseille.
It’ll be a battle of the last two Olympic champions when Canada faces off against Germany in this weekend’s quarter-finals of the women’s soccer tournament at the Paris Games.
The Germans won their fourth Olympic medal when they struck gold at Rio 2016, while the Canadians changed the colour of their medal by winning gold at Tokyo 2011 after earning back-to-back bronze medals.
Canada punched its ticket for the knockout round in Paris with a perfect 3-0-0 record in the group stage, despite being slapped with a six-point penalty in connection to the drone/spying scandal. Germany finished behind the United States in its group, but still impressed in the first round to advance.
