I am sorry sir but I don't.
Leroux...where would I start?
Anyhow...
Back on topic...if you had 6 months to prepare yourself physically for a chance at gold, why would you not do everything possible?
This is what I don't get about our girls. They looked less fit than other nations at the WC...and it was on home soil, FFS!
BTW, if you had a choice between having Julie Johnstone or Sidney Leroux alone with a bag of coke and a hotel room for 24 hours, it wouldn't even be close. Leroux wins, every time.

I think I see a baby bump
It was said during the game that he was giving an opportunity to other players to develop them in big games. He is trying to get a group of girls that are all good enough to play any game so he's not dependant on the "regulars".
No Sesselman, Kyle, or Leon even dressed for the game. Frankly they have enough lumbering ball winners on that team to sit them, get some faster more creative players some time.
TV's comments basically echoed mine.
Not the first time posters here and in other social medias have expressed a lack of fitness issue w/ Canadian players.
I didn't see this game, but in the past, we've seen Canadians come out against their US counterparts looking decidedly less fit. Or, a less popular word would be fat.
Why is that? Some of them look like beer leaguers.
I don't believe that the American birds are some sort of genetically superior being, here. Herdman has to get on top of this. They have 6 months. It will take that long for some of these women to lose 10 lbs and get stronger / faster in the process. Improving on the Bronze from the last Olympics is a tall order, but this would probably be the best shot he has of pulling this off. I hope he recognizes that, gets these women together, limits their beer and pub time, and treats this 6 months with the professionalism all the other Olympic athletes will be.
