TORONTO -- There is only so much the Canadian team can do to prepare for its first opponent at the Under-20 Womens World Cup. Paul Kariya Ducks Jersey . Like it is for many youth teams around the world, in-game video of the Ghana squad is rather limited. From what the Canadians have been able to glean from the footage theyve seen, theyre expecting a side with plenty of speed and a unique style in Tuesdays opener at BMO Field. "Ghana is a very fast, physical team," said midfielder Jessie Fleming. "They have very technical forwards. Theyre definitely going to be difficult to play (against). Theyre unpredictable at times. "So its just a matter of sticking to our game plan and doing what we can to match that." The Ghana team has trained in the Ontario capital ahead of the tournament. That has allowed the Canadians to gather some more information on their first Group A opponent. "Weve been a bit fortunate," said Canadian coach Andrew Olivieri. "Theyve been here in Toronto so weve had a couple of people that have been able to see them. Thats certainly part of the culture of our program is being prepared for our opponents and seeing them and basically analyzing them is crucial to the way we work." Canada will play Finland in another Group A game Friday in Toronto before heading to Montreal for an Aug. 12 game against North Korea. Group B includes the U.S., Germany, China and Brazil. Group C is made up of England, Mexico, Nigeria and South Korea while Group D consists of Costa Rica, France, New Zealand and Paraguay. The tournament runs through Aug. 24 with Edmonton and Moncton as the other host cities. The defending champion Americans are a tournament favourite along with Germany and North Korea. The top two teams from each pool advance to the quarter-finals. Moncton and Montreal will host the semifinals and Montreal will stage the final and third-place match. The Canadian side boasts six players who have played with the national senior team. They include Fleming, centre backs Kadeisha Buchanan and Rebecca Quinn, fullback Sura Yekka, midfielder Ashley Lawrence and forward Nichelle Prince. That experience will be needed for a side that Olivieri said is the youngest team that Canada has fielded since the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2002. Defender Kinley McNicoll will serve as captain and Kailen Sheridan is the No. 1 goalie. Canada is coming off a disappointing 1-2-0 performance in the 2012 event while Ghana dropped all three of its matches. Neither side advanced out of the group stage. "We have been preparing very well for the tournament," Ghana vice-captain Alice Danso said on the FIFA website. "We are getting all the support we need and I am sure that when the competition starts in Canada, we will be ready." Canada should get a boost from what is expected to be a lively crowd at the lakefront stadium, which is also the home field for Toronto FC of Major League Soccer. Erik Johnson Avalanche Jersey . A few changes have been made this year, as RDS will no longer be producing it. Instead, the Canadiens have hired their own team of creative masterminds to produce the reality series. Wayne Gretzky Oilers Jersey . The judges scored it 49-46, 49-46, 50-45 for Kennedy. Wrestling proved to be the difference with Kennedy taking Bisping down in the first, third and fifth rounds and keeping him there. The crowd at the Colisee Pepsi didnt like it and neither did Bisping, whose game is built on movement and technical striking.Canadas Patrick Chan has drawn the 21st spot for Thursdays mens figure skating short program at the Sochi Olympics.
