USWNT edges Canada in CONCACAF W Championship final to earn 2024 Olympics berth

LA Times  

The U.S. women’s soccer team doesn’t rebuild so much as it reloads. What doesn’t change, though, are the results, something a youthful, inexperienced U.S. team proved Monday night when it beat Canada 1-0 in the final of the CONCACAF W Championship at Estadio BBVA, earning an automatic berth in the 2024 Paris Olympics. “It just always feels good,” Morgan said, “to be called a champion.” When the United States lost to Canada in the semifinals of last summer’s Tokyo Olympics — on a penalty kick — it had the oldest team in the tournament. As a result, nine women who played in that Olympic loss to Canada weren’t on the team in Mexico and 13 who were here were participating in their first World Cup or Olympic qualifying tournament. “And she has been doing that day in and day out.” The United States’ Alex Morgan tries to control the ball against Canada’s Vanessa Gilles during the CONCACAF W Championship final.
