Wow! France Spanked Canada, eh?
BOCHUM, Germany (AP) -- Gaetane Thiney of France scored twice in a 4-0 rout of Canada on Thursday, all but assuring the French a quarterfinal spot and leaving their opponents on the brink of an early exit.

Thiney scored in the 24th and 59th minutes, and Camille Abily's header from a corner kick put the outcome beyond doubt in the 66th before 16,591 fans. Substitute Elodie Thomis added the fourth goal in the 83rd, rounding the goalkeeper after being set up by playmaker Louisa Necib.

Canada captain Christine Sinclair was unable to exert her usual influence. She wore a mask after breaking her nose in the previous game, a loss to Germany.

SHAME ON YOU

I love seeing the French women doing so well in the tourney so far. It's like the best schadenfreude ever.
