The U.S. women's national team is set to square off against Canada on Thursday night at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Florida. The SheBelieves Cup is in its sixth year, and the match between CONCACAF rivals is the first for both teams to start the tournament. It's the first game for Canada's women's national team in 2021 under their newly appointed coach Bev Priestman.

Super! Many chances in that game.
Brazil tomorrow!
Macario is overrated. Too much dribbling and one on one. Not impressed. Good enough to be on the roster, but not as a starter.
USA 1 - Brazil 0
