Canada v USA: Concacaf W Gold Cup semi-final – live

When the raaaaain comes, they run away and hide their heads…

Okay, that’s an English band, and not normally associated with California weather. But that’s what we have at the moment.

Earlier this evening, Brazil defeated Mexico 3-0. Yes, that’s the same Mexican team that beat the US 2-0…and worse, beat the US.

So has the balance of power shifted? It’s raining in California. Will it snow in the Dominican Republic? Blazing hot in Nunavut? Or will we see the US women return to their place as the best team in America with a win tonight and another win against Brazil in the Concacaf W Gold Cup final, who have delivered on their promise to provide compelling action with a number of South American players. American guests joining the North American triumvirate.

Beau will be visiting soon. In the meantime, here’s a look back at the USWNT’s quarterfinal victory over Colombia.
