Canada, after a disappointing draw against Nigeria, will look to get back on track against the Republic of Ireland. Ireland, who narrowly lost to hosts Australia, will also be looking to get a win against the Canadians. The Canada vs Ireland game will take place this Wednesday in Australia.<\/p>\n
The CanWNT will be under some pressure after not scoring in a scoreless draw against Nigeria. This is what Canada\u2019s head coach, Beverly Priestman, said about the game (source: Neil Davidson of The Canadian Press):<\/p>\n
“We’ve got to move on very quickly. You can get lost and be really down on that,” Canada coach Priestman said of the result<\/a>. “Of course, the team and I are devastated we didn’t get three points. But at the end of the day, we got one [point] and we took two from another team.”<\/p>\n The Canadians had two golden opportunities to score in the game, one was a Nigerian turnover in their own end and another was a reckless foul on Christine Sinclair that resulted in a penalty. Unfortunately, Canada was not able to take advantage. Sinclair took the penalty to try and become the first player in women\u2019s soccer to score in six FIFA Women’s World Cups but failed to convert the goal.<\/p>\n Christine Sinclair denied from the penalty spot in the 50th minute. <\/p>\n Great save by #NGA<\/a> goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie to keep the #CanWNT<\/a> \/ #CanXNT<\/a> icon at 190 international goals pic.twitter.com\/2ZmaJYI4qZ<\/a><\/p>\n — Canadian Soccer Daily (@CANSoccerDaily) July 21, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
