In a jaw-dropping soccer showdown, Canada ended a 66-year drought by defeating the USA 2-1 in Kansas City on Saturday. 🏟️ Jacob Shaffelburg and Jonathan David netted goals for Canada, capitalizing on defensive slip-ups by the hosts. The stats told the story: Canada dominated with 17 shot attempts and 7 corners, leaving fans shook. 🇨🇦✨
Luca de la Torre’s late goal spared the USA a total blowout, but the damage was done. Interim coach Mikey Varas called out his squad’s lack of grit: \"The mentality is on the players… Coaches can only get you so far.\" 🎙️ Meanwhile, Canada’s new coach Jesse Marsch, who once interviewed for the USA job, threw shade: \"I’d much rather coach Canada… You can see the mentality that’s been developed.\" 💥
With Mauricio Pochettino rumored to take over the USA team soon, the pressure’s on to fix this mentality gap. Will this loss spark a wake-up call? 🤔⚡
