Sinclair: Canada’s lack of preparation a ‘wake-up call for our federation’
In the wake of Canada’s early exit from the Women’s World Cup, captain Christine Sinclair on Monday referred to as the disappointing end result “a wake-up call” for the Canadian Soccer Association.
“Look, we’ve been battling our federation for support, but I can’t put this on the CSA,” Sinclair, who’s believed to have made her remaining look on the Women’s World Cup, informed reporters after Canada’s 4-0 loss to Australia. “There are 23 players out there and staff, and we didn’t get it done tonight. I think more of a wake-up call for our federation (because of) the lack of a professional league, the lack of support for our youth national teams.”

A draw or win in opposition to the home-field Australians would have moved the seventh-ranked Canadians into the spherical of 16.
Instead, Canada turned the primary Olympic champion to be eradicated from Women’s World Cup play earlier than the spherical of 16 after struggling all through the match, occasions disorganized and missing momentum.
