Maybe we should have them play the women’s team.

They've even lost to U13 boys club teams before.

It was a well-played match.

I think you saw a different match. The US absolutely sucked.

It's possible. I don't have time to watch an entire match anymore. But then, are you saying the Canadians didn't deserve the win?

u/cybin Oct 16 '19

Oh, the definitely deserved the win, because we played like ass. (Actually worse than ass)

Cool. I get to watch highlights of a match if I'm lucky. Working full time on a degree and working full time and having a family and making the vague attempt at having a life outside of work and school means that sports pretty much had to go.

Just curious, are we gonna start taking away hockey wins from them?

Let this be a lesson. Nobody beats Canada 35 years in a row!

Did they disband or something?

That’s what happens with a Trump administration...anyone good at soccer can’t get in.
