Well, it’s been 50/50 – Canada played for a while like they were all beat. That Kai girl has some fast feet. Two more scoring chances because the Canuck defense all but gave up. Steely Leblanc – all business – eyeballed the flashy tattooed Kai down and won. O Kai – you think you are so cool cause you scored a goal and have a headband. But you are not. Anyway – A few memorable scrums and free kicks in the US end. There’s still a game here. For about 5 minutes more.
30:00 one more minute. This. ain’t – gonna – happen. I’m gutted. This Canadian team was full o’spirit. Defense was sloppy at the end, but they made it a good game. I am going for a jog to forget about it.
