Canada’s soccer team is calling on their fans to cross the US border and support them in their upcoming World Cup knockout game against South Africa in Los Angeles.
Overcoming Politics
The team’s request comes at a delicate moment in Canada-US relations, with many Canadians boycotting US products and cancelling trips south of the border due to President Donald Trump’s policies.
Despite this, the team is hoping that the pull of a World Cup knockout game will prove stronger than politics, and that their fans will join them in Los Angeles for the match on Sunday.
In a letter to their fans, the team acknowledged the electric atmosphere at their first three World Cup matches and thanked their supporters for their belief and enthusiasm.
The team also made a direct appeal to both longtime supporters and new converts, inviting Canadians to stay with them every step of the way as they continue their World Cup journey.
