Here’s some background on the game.
What is the Concacaf W Gold Cup?
Panama midfielder Marta Cox vowed not to play for the national team again after the president of her country's soccer federation (FEPAFUT) called her fat and "out of shape" following their Concacaf W Gold Cup exit.
Panama left the tournament without getting a single point in the group stage, suffering heavy defeats by Colombia and Brazil.
Alyssa Naeher had a penalty shootout performance against Canada in the Concacaf W Gold Cup semifinal that etched new lore in United States women’s national team history.
It’s important to add some context to what must have been going through Naeher’s mind before the shootout began.
She had just conceded and failed to save the penalty kick in the final seconds to send the game to a shootout.
The USWNT and Canada faced off in the Women’s Gold Cup semifinals this Wednesday, promising an entertaining match of soccer between two of the best women’s national teams in the world… ruined by the state of the weather, pitch and for many fans, by Concacaf’s poor lack of judgement.
The United States women’s national team defeated Canada 3-1 on penalties (2-2 after extra time on Wednesday) in the Concacaf W Gold Cup amid horrid weather and field conditions at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California.
Rain poured down throughout the evening and during the day’s earlier Gold Cup semifinal that saw Brazil defeat Mexico 3-0. By the time the USWNT and Canada took the field it looked more like a swimming pool.
The U.S. women’s national team game against Colombia in the Concacaf Women’s Gold Cup quarterfinals on Sunday had it all.
