Dual national defender has accepted Canada's squad invite. She repped the US at the u17 level and was lone Canadian selected at this year's NWSL draft. Her mother was a Canadian volleyball player while her father was a NFL player and also played with the Argos for 1 year in 1995.

She was invited more recently to a U.S. U23 Camp where she even played against Sinclair.

Only in friendlies perhaps? No one-time-switch needed to rep us?

I couldn't find her here:

This was before the players decided to play SB but Schmidt says she won't play for Canada till things are resolved. I wonder also if the other European-based players have flown in already as no final squad has been announced yet.

When I read this, it reminded me of her dad's days with Argos in 1995 when Brett suited up in 5 games for the Double Blue. I actually was able to find an autograph he signed for me from that season. He previously played for the Packers and Rams, appearing in 27 NFL games. Wishing Sydney all the best in her pursuit of cracking the national team roster. She is certainly is on the right path.

Looks like Neil Davidson is actually at the game.

The CP probably doesn't send him without the player strike issue.

Canada walks out with purple 'enough is enough' tshirts

TSN is there as well. They said they will provide the same coverage as they gave  the men for the wc.

this match is screaming out blowout so far...

Does Directv shows this game?

Its on HBO Max in the  US

Full time 2-0 win for the USA.

Based on the first 5 minutes, this could have been way worse.

Good post-game panel - to my mind, Clare Rustad is the best of the pundits in the Canadian's women's game.

Tough loss, minds were probably elsewhere.

Thumbs up to TSN, whose website right now is a full front page of the CWNT coverage.

Coming here to post the same.  She is one of the best pundits, period.  She needs to do more, time to get her doing men's games as well.  I noticed TSN had her on a clip as well as her work on Onesoccer so maybe it's coming.
