WOMEN'S WORLD CUP FIELD
GROUP A
CANADA
World ranking: 8.
How qualified: Host country.
Last World Cup: 2011, 4th in group.
Best World Cup finish: 4th, 2003.
Key players: F Christine Sinclair, GK Erin McLeod, MF Desiree Scott.
Outlook: Canada hasn't advanced out of the group stage in a World Cup since 2003, the last time the tournament was played in North America. But the host team will be helped here by the home-field — in this case, artificial turf — advantage.
