Swedish striker Lotta Schelin scored two goals as Canada fell 1:2 to in its final group match at the 2008 Women’s Olympic Football Tournament.

We tied China 1-1 last night in front of a startling crowd of 52,600 people at the Tianjin Olympic Stadium.

What a game. In front of 52 800 screaming and chanting Chinese fans—and pockets of Canadian supporters,consisting mostly of our family and friends—we tied China in a game we probably should have won.

We are back in Beijing, and back in the Athletes’ village. There is a huge line up for the internet here in the village, and I am already missing the peace and quiet of our hotel in Tianjin.

Canada remains undefeated as WNT ties China 1:1 at the Tianjin Olympic Sports Center Stadium.

08.08.08. The day had finally arrived—and we couldn’t go.

Same old, same same old day, today: Just eating and killing time all morning. Then, we headed out to the stadium for training at 4:00 pm and were soon happy that we had spent the rest of the day indoors.

It was hot (35degrees), muggy, and polluted evening in the Tianjin Olympic Stadium.

How spine chilling was the Chinese anthem before their game against Sweden? I’m a huge national anthem buff and the Chinese anthem is quite patriotic (how could it not be?).
