USWNT vs. Canada preview
The Americans have dominated the head-to-head matchups against their northern neighbor. In 63 previous meetings against Canada, the USWNT is 52-4-7. The USA have won three of the last four matchups, but the one loss was a costly one, in the semifinals of the Tokyo Olympics.
With the start of the Women’s World Cup five months away, the team has some issues that need to be addressed, particularly on defense. During the team’s three-game losing streak at the end of last year, the Americans gave up two goals each to England, Spain and Germany.
Meanwhile, Canada enter the SheBelieves Cup amid much controversy. The reigning Olympic gold medalists are unhappy about Canada Soccer’s cuts to the national team programs less than six months since the start of the World Cup. The players boycotted training Saturday, saying they would not play unless the association addressed their grievances.
But after Canada Soccer threatened legal action, the players returned to practice on Sunday — although begrudgingly. Captain Christine Sinclair tweeted, “To be clear. 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 She Believes [Cup] is being played in protest.”
