On June 2, 2013, the United States Women’s National Team took on rivals Canada at BMO Field in Toronto, and it was a heated contest between Concacaf’s two women’s soccer powers. One player on the USWNT at that time was the focus of the ire of the Canadian fans in attendance: Sydney Leroux. Leroux, who was born in Vancouver and had Canadian and American citizenship, began her international career at the youth level for Canada before switching to join the USWNT.
The Canadian fans, who didn’t like this one bit, let Sydney Leroux know their disdain with her choice throughout warmups.
