The women's soccer Olympic semifinal match between the USA and Canada takes place on Monday, August 2.
The U.S. women's national team is a game away from playing for a fifth gold medal but first must get by a regional foe that it's dominated but won't take lightly.
The U.S. and Canada meet in Kashima for the right to face either Sweden or Australia in the gold-medal game at the Tokyo Olympics. Both teams advanced to the semifinals of the 12-team tournament on penalty kicks, with Canada outlasting Brazil thanks to Stephanie Labbé's consecutive saves that sent Marta & Co. back home empty-handed. Labbé's U.S. counterpart, Alyssa Naeher, also made two saves in a penalty shootout, lifting the USWNT by the Netherlands in what was a 2019 Women's World Cup final rematch.

The U.S. and Canada have met plenty of times before, with the neighbor to the north the U.S.'s most frequent opponent ever. The USWNT holds a commanding 51-3-7 all-time record, with two of those wins coming on the Olympic stage.
There was a 2008 extra-time triumph in the quarterfinals in China before they played one of the greatest games ever in the semifinals of the 2012 tournament in England. Alex Morgan's winner secured a 4–3, extra-time victory for the ages and paved the way for the U.S.'s last gold medal.
