Women's Olympic Qualifying: Matchday 2

Group A
Canada 2-0 Cuba
Costa Rica 2-0 Haiti

Group B
United States 13-0 Guatemala
Mexico 7-0 Dominican Republic

Canada and Costa Rica, United States and Mexico qualify for semifinals, so the top two teams in each group face each other on the final matchday; something makes me think this wasn't accidental to be scheduled this way. Haiti and Cuba, Dominican Republic and Guatemala play for third place and for the respect of not being completely shutout for the entire tournament. Canada and USA win their groups with a win or a tie, holding the goal differential tiebreaker by 4 and 15 respectively, with the loser of each game playing the winner of the other in the round of death semifinal.

Watch Canada v Costa Rica tonight and USA v Mexico tomorrow night. Both games start at 7:30pm and can be streamed for free through the federation website.
