Earlier this week, in front of a noisy pro-USA crowd in The Magic City, the Canadian Men’s Lacrosse team defeated the U.S. for the gold.

Even though Canada is known for hockey — Lacrosse is actually the official Canadian national game for summer (we looked it up – here)

Will the U.S. Women win the rematch? Stay tuned.
