Olympic newsletter: Get ready for a super Saturday

Canada added three bronze medals today. Felix Auger-Aliassime and Gabriela Dabrowski won the third-place match in mixed doubles tennis, Sophiane Méthot surprised in the women's trampoline event, and swimmer Kylie Masse reached her fifth Olympic podium.

It could have been more. Swimmer Josh Liendo missed a medal by just two hundredths of a second in the men's 50m freestyle, and distance runner Moh Ahmed challenged for gold deep into the men's 10,000m final before also finishing fourth.

Canada now boasts 11 medals (3 gold, 2 silver, 6 bronze) through seven days of competition.

Another bunch could be coming on a jam-packed Saturday featuring Summer McIntosh's last solo race, Damian Warner in the final day of the decathlon, Auger-Aliassime in another bronze match and Canada's women's eight rowing team in its final.

Plus, the resilient Canadian women's soccer team plays in the quarterfinals, a rising sprinter aims for the women's 100m final and a veteran gymnast takes on Simone Biles for maybe the last time.

Let's take you through all that and more in our daily viewing guide. Then, another big win for the Canadian men's basketball team.

Soccer: Canada vs. Germany in the women's quarterfinals

Canada is not supposed to be here. The purpose of the six-point penalty for the drone-spying scandal, if we're being honest, was for FIFA to prevent the Canadians from advancing without getting its hands dirtied by messy forfeits. But the Olympic champions simply refused to go quietly, upsetting France with a last-minute goal before beating Colombia in another must-win match to crash the quarters.

Despite all the drama, Canada actually fared better in the group stage than it did in Tokyo. There, the Canadians had a win and two draws and scored four goals to finish second in their group before their magical run through the knockout rounds. Here, they won all three of their matches and scored five times, including Vanessa Gilles' pair of dramatic winners. That obviously would have won them their group if not for the penalty, which knocked them down to second.

Germany also placed second in its group, trouncing Australia 3-0 and Zambia 4-1 but losing 4-1 to the United States.

The match kicks off at 1 p.m. ET. The winner will face either Japan or the Americans, who are favoured to meet Women's World Cup champion Spain in the gold-medal match.
