'USWNT boss Ellis should be 'embarrassed' for her team's Thailand celebrations' - Canada national team star Matheson

The U.S. women’s national team has been slammed for its celebrations against Thailand, with current Canadian national team star Diana Matheson saying USWNT manager Jill Ellis should be embarrassed at her team's antics.

The USWNT began its World Cup defense with a 13-0 destruction of Thailand on Tuesday night in Reims, setting an all-time World Cup record for the highest margin of victory in a game.

With goal differential a tiebreaker in the group stage, the U.S. was incentivized to score as many goals as it could, but the way the team reacted to several goals late in the match has come under fire.
