To finish first in its group at the World Cup, Canada will need to overcome a Netherlands side that boasts a wide array of quality attacking players.
MONTREAL — Canada coach John Herdman struck a more defensive tone Sunday when addressing the media about Canada’s third and final group stage match of the Women's World Cup against the Netherlands.
Contrary to the lead up to last Thursday’s New Zealand match, where Herdman spoke boldly about his team’s prospects against the Oceanic side, the cheery 39-year-old was much more guarded in his remarks concerning Monday’s opponent at the Olympic Stadium.
