CanadaĬanada played just one game in this window, and fell to a 2-1 defeat to France in Le Mans. While there, they also attended the premiere of Disney+’s documentary, Matildas: ‘The World At Our Feet,’ as hosting hype heats up. The impressive win over England supersedes that result, however. It was a promising performance, but they were left frustrated at the finish. In the absence of Kerr and other key players, a stunning 46th-minute strike from Nicola Docherty ended their seven-game winning streak. Three days earlier, Australia fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Scotland at Plough Lane, London. Kyra Cooney-Cross ran the show, while there were no shortage of other big performances.

This book offers a new conceptualization of black working-class participation in the civil rights movement.
