Canada was perfect at the Concacaf W Championship thorough the group stage, winning all three games, scoring nine goals and not conceding any
Yet for some fans, a 6-0 victory against Trinidad and Tobago, 1-0 win against Panama and 2-0 defeat of Costa Rica was not dominant enough for the reigning Olympic champions, leaving too many strokes out on the course.
All three group opponents at the Concacaf W Championship packed their back line and were content to defend for long stretches of the contest in order to keep from being embarrassed on the scoreboard. Yet, the team is just one win away from the final and a shot at earning a berth in the 2024 Olympics in Paris. They have already qualified for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup as one of the four semifinalists.“This Olympics means the world to this group and that’s where we’re heading,” Priestman said. “We want to keep our standards high to where we’re going. Overall, I thought it was a professional performance against Costa Rica; it wasn’t perfect, but it was professional.
The former Toronto FC executive and acting deputy general secretary of Canada Soccer has a laundry list of duties in front of him taking over the role, which had been vacant since the departure of Peter Montopoli, to the head post at Concacaf.
