Something something rivalry. That’s the USA-Canada narrative, right? At least from the Canadian side; it’s my general impression that while US fans enjoy the USWNT beating our northern neighbors, there’s not really a burning need to bring the hammer down, not the way there might have been five or 10 years ago. That’ll happen when you have as lopsided a W-L record against your “rival” as the USWNT does against the Canada WNT. And that’s good, because this is not the Canada WNT of old.

Desiree Scott has been waiting a long time for her next game.
The 33-year-old midfielder from Winnipeg didn t play in the NWSL s Challenge Cup last summer due to family commitments and opted out of the league s Fall Series. Her last match with Canada was March 10, 2020 â a 2-2 tie with Brazil at a tournament in France.
