USA vs Canada Preview
This match is going to take place despite the Canadian team recently attempting to strike. According to the CBC, the Canadian women “are demanding the same backing in preparing for this summer’s Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand that the men received last year before Qatar. And they want Canada Soccer to open its books.”
In response, Canada Soccer insisted the women play in the tournament.
“To be clear,” Canadian captain Christine Sinclair tweeted, per CNN, “We are being forced back to work for the short term. This is not over. We will continue to fight for everything we deserve and we will win. The SheBelieves is being played in protest.”
