The Canadian soccer team celebrated hard after their gold medal win at the Olympics
The Canadian women's soccer team earned another gold medal for the country this morning.
After a grueling 120 minutes, the team defeated Sweden in penalty kicks by a score of 3-2. They certainly deserved to celebrate and the team did just that.
