Throwback Thursday: Sydney shows her crest

When the United States Women’s National Team walked into BMO Field in Toronto on June 2, 2013 to play rivals Canada, one player on the team was getting a heap of boos from the sold-out crowd. Sydney Leroux, who was born in Vancouver to a Canadian mother and American father, played at the youth level for Canada before switching to play for the USWNT. That didn’t sit well with the Canadian fans in attendance, and throughout warmups, they let Leroux know that they didn’t particularly care for her and the decision she had made 5 years prior.
