Canada beat US in America for first time since 1957 as USMNT slump continues
USA 1-2 CanadaInterim coach laments Americans’ mental lapses
Hoping to show their first-round exit at this summer’s Copa América was a fluke, the United States instead displayed an alarming lack of intensity that resulted in their first home loss to Canada since 1957.
Jacob Shaffelburg and Jonathan David scored after US defensive misplays, and Canada dominated 2-1 in a friendly on Saturday for just their second win over the Americans in 27 matches on US soil.
While Jesse Marsch, Canada’s American-born coach, glowed following a win over a team that bypassed him for the USMNT job, interim US coach Mikey Varas rebuked himself and his players.
