Despite being penalized 6 points in group play for the drone scandal, the Canadian Women's olympic soccer team has qualified for the quarterfinals by winning all 3 of their group play matches.
Gutsy effort from the defending champs!

I'm rooting for those Canuckettes. Cheating when you don't even need to is the ultimate Raider move.

Germany will be tough. I am just impressed they made it through against teams that only needed a tie.

The Raiders were the OG's. Pats are Johnny Come Latelies.

Against all odds they preserve! Vanessa Gilles, a center back scores both winning goals for last game and this game. When there is a will, there is a way. That extra time goal versus France was a thing of beauty too; direct shot on the rebound, post and in.

I am glad that they went through as a team in the pitch. Sanction they received were unfair for the players and fans.

I'm rooting for Canada's ladies and my gut feeling says that they are gonna bring gold again this time! Also, I believe that they didn't intentionally cheated.

Not in women’s soccer. Canada won the last Olympic gold and the US the Olympics before that.
