France is one of the best teams in the tournament and are among the main title contenders.

Ranked as #2 in the world, they have plenty of experienced and quality players, like striker Eugenie Le Sommer, Grace Geyoro or Katoto, who made a great game against Colombia in the first round replacing Le Sommer upfront.

They have pressure as hosts, but have a deep and strong squad, with a good coach as well. They struggled in defense against Colombia, conceding two goals in the second half. I think it was mainly due to the lack of motivation and concentration in that period, as they went to HT leading 3:0 and the match was totally controlled.

On the other hand, Canada is the main reason for this bet. They have received a penalty by the Olympics due to espionage to New Zealand’s training, which means that they have lost 6 points (among other measures, like the suspensions to their head coach Beverly Priestman). So they have no chances to qualify. This will surely affect their motivation and their performance in this fixture.

They will play knowing that they have no chances due to this decision, which was also a big surprise for them. They were coming in good form, managed to beat New Zealand in the first round coming from behind, but it will be very difficult to be motivated for this fixture and also for the last round.

Furthermore, Canada was coming to this tournament after a very poor performance in the World Cup, losing in the group stage finishing behind Nigeria and Australia.

They are a vastly experienced team, with players like Ashley Lawrence and Kadeisha Buchanan, as well as other players with over 100 caps. Canada have good balance between defence and attack and are well organised with plenty of height, which makes them a formidable opponent. However, motivation will play a vital role here and I expect them to be shocked by the Olympics decision.

Furthermore, we must remember that Canada will have no coach for this game, as Priestman took off the charge even before receiving the sanction (as soon as the news about espionage appeared). Assistant coach Andy Spence will be in charge for the upcoming games.

They still have chances to qualify, as they have -3 points and could qualify as one of the best thirds or even as 2nd placed, but would need almost a miracle.

France has much more quality here, and also will be more motivated and prepared. The scandal and penalty received to Canada will surely affect them, and also a game against one of the best teams in the tournament isn’t the best way to recover from it.

法国队是本届杯赛中最好的球队之一，也是主要的冠军争夺者之一。

作为世界排名第二的球队，他们有很多经验丰富的优秀球员，比如前锋勒萨默、格雷斯·杰约罗和卡托托，卡托托在首轮对阵哥伦比亚的比赛中顶替了勒萨默，表现出色。

作为东道主，他们有压力，但他们有一个深度和强大的阵容，还有一个好教练。他们在对阵哥伦比亚的比赛中防守不力，下半场丢了两个球。我认为这主要是由于在那个时期缺乏动力和注意力，因为他们3:0领先HT，比赛完全被控制了。

另一方面，加拿大是这一押注的主要原因。由于对新西兰队的训练进行间谍活动，他们受到了奥运会的处罚，这意味着他们已经失去了6分(还有其他措施，比如他们的主教练贝弗利·普里斯特曼(Beverly Priestman)被禁赛)。所以他们没有晋级的机会。这肯定会影响他们的动力和他们在这场比赛中的表现。

由于这个决定，他们将知道他们没有机会，这对他们来说也是一个很大的惊喜。他们的状态很好，在第一轮就后来居上击败了新西兰队，但要在这场比赛和最后一轮比赛中保持动力是非常困难的。

此外，加拿大队在本届世界杯上的表现非常糟糕，在小组赛中输给了尼日利亚和澳大利亚。

他们是一支经验丰富的球队，拥有像阿什利·劳伦斯和卡迪沙·布坎南这样的球员，以及其他出场超过100次的球员。加拿大在防守和进攻之间有很好的平衡，组织良好，高度充足，这使他们成为一个强大的对手。然而，在这里，动力将发挥至关重要的作用，我希望他们对奥运会的决定感到震惊。

此外，我们必须记住，加拿大队将没有教练参加这场比赛，因为普利斯特曼甚至在收到制裁之前(间谍活动的消息一出现)就已经卸下了责任。助理教练安迪·斯宾塞将负责接下来的比赛。

他们仍然有机会出线，因为他们有-3分，可以作为最好的三分之一甚至是第二名出线，但这几乎需要一个奇迹。

法国队在这里的实力更强，也会更有动力，准备更充分。丑闻和对加拿大的处罚肯定会影响到他们，而且与比赛中最好的球队之一比赛并不是最好的恢复方式。
