Maybe I'm the only one watching?

Canada played well against Germany in their opener today, falling 2-1. Up next is France, which is a crucial game, as France already has 3 points in Group A. I believe Canada can finish 2nd in the group behind Germany.

What's good for the Canadians is their goaltending is solid and they are very creative. However, there were some major defensive hiccups in their first game. Morace is an outstanding coach, so I'm sure that'll be sorted out before their next match.

Christine Sinclair's goal was a thing of beauty. After that awful elbow she took and to have so much fight left in her...it's hard not to be proud.

The bad news is...she does indeed have a broken nose. They took her to hospital. I certainly think she could be the frontrunner for the Golden Boot, but we'll see what this injury does to her. She's such an exciting player to watch. I can't believe how hard she's worked on her fitness. I swear she's like 20 pounds lighter than last World Cup.

On another note, 73K were on hand to watch today's game in Berlin. Very impressive.
