Canada aiming for a Tokyo-style run to title at Women's World Cup

Canada knows it can overcome an opening-game draw at the Women's World Cup because it won gold at the Tokyo Olympics when it bounced back from a first game draw against Japan. Now Canada must rebound again following a scoreless draw against Nigeria in its opening World Cup game. The Canadians face Ireland, which is on debut in the tournament, on Wednesday in the Western Australia capital of Perth in an important Group B match.
