• Rocky form of world champions gives Canada a ray of hope

Vlatko Andonovski, the USA manager, said his side are focused and confident" going into their Olympic women's soccer semi-final on Monday with old foes Canada.

When both North America sides finished second in their respective groups to put them in the same side of the draw for the knockout stage it felt somewhat inevitable - despite tricky quarter-finals - that the teams would face off in a rerun of the 2012 semi-final at the London Olympics.
