The quarter-finals women’s football are all on Saturday the 3rd of August. Canada vs Germany kicks off at 19:00 CEST. Canada fought their way back in the tournament after they received a 6-point deduction. The FIFA made this decision after Drone Gate came to light. Their opponent is Germany. The Germans had a terrible run at the World Cup 2023 but seem more confident. Jule Brand and Lea Schüller are their forward drive that will bring Canada in danger. Let’s have a look at the statistics, possible lineups, the players and where to watch the Paris 2024 Olympics matches.
Canada and Germany gave us a boring first half, but made up for this in the second. Chances for both teams from the official time to the extra time. This kept us on the edge of our seat. It eventually had to go to penalties. Berger was the hero for Germany, as she stopped two and scored penalty number 5 herself. Germany has to face the USA in the semi-finals.
Preview Paris Olympics Canada vs Germany
Canada started their Olympic journey in Group A with Colombia, New Zealand and France. When their point deduction was confirmed by FIFA the players knew they had to win all matches if they wanted to proceed to the next round. The team seems to have turned the scandal into motivation to prove everyone wrong.
Germany encountered Zambia, Australia and the USA in Group B. The USA qualified after two rounds leaving only one spot for the other three. Germany beat both Australia and Zambia but lost to the USWNT. They might not be a match for the highly motivated Canada.
