TORONTO, CANADA—August 2, 2021. The day the Canadian women’s national team exorcized the demons of 2012, defeating the United States for the first time in 20 years. Whether you’re a Canadian or American supporter, the day was historic.
Canada beat the USA, and after two consecutive bronze medals, Canada will fight for gold.
Let that sink in.
Team Canada, which has been fantastic for the better part of three decades, finally has a chance to win a major tournament. The USA, dispersed of, and the ghosts of 2015 Team GB (England), nowhere to be seen.
