Negotiations between Canada Soccer and the Canadian national women's soccer team could soon be coming to a close. FINALLY. 🙌⁣ •⁣ In the wee hours of the morning, world No. 7 CanWNT drew with No. 40 Nigeria 0–0 in a physical affair, as captain Christine Sinclair couldn’t convert on Canada’s lone penalty kick opportunity. Not exactly the strong start Canada was hoping for. 😔⁣ •⁣ On the bright side, hours before kickoff, Sincy revealed that equal pay negotiations between the team and Canada Soccer are “on the verge of being signed.” Victory at last. 👏⁣ •⁣ The women's national team has been embattled in a dispute with Canada Soccer over pay equity issues and budget cuts.⁣ •⁣⁣⁣ Want to stay up-to-date on all things FIFA WWC?
