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.
I would have gone with the Patriots, but yeah, same idea.
The Raiders were the OG's. Pats are Johnny Come Latelies.
Bill would be proud.
Germany will be tough. I am just impressed they made it through against teams that only needed a tie.
Did the canadians get that much of an advantage with the drone videos?
No but the punishment is the punishment
Will it matter in the long run?
Doesnt brazil always win?
Not in women’s soccer. Canada won the last Olympic gold and the US the Olympics before that.
Sorry it was 2012 the US won gold. Germany won in 2016.
Didnt the US win with that one girl....who had issues about stuff.
Megan Rampone?
Haha yes.
She was quite a character.
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.
Incredible
Yep! Like the Pats did, they keep on winning.
I love Canada! Wish the ladies all best of luck!
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.
I hope so. We will see. Lots of good teams left.
I am glad that they went through as a team in the pitch. Sanction they received were unfair for the players and fans.
