Canada returns to the pitch on Sunday night to take on a familiar acquaintance in Brazil. After an emotionally draining 2-0 loss against the United States on Thursday, it’s anyone’s guess what type of Canadian team will show up to play in Nashville at GEODIS Park.
Ahead of their match against the Brazilians, Bev Priestman’s squad held their lone training session at Vanderbilt University on Saturday. Priestman admits she’s not entirely sure what to expect from her team as they continue to play under protest and fight budget cuts.
