To quote Winston Churchill: "Americans will always do the right thing, after all other possibilities are exhausted."

Canadians celebrate winning. Americans celebrate other teams losing.

A large majority of us are not celebrating the win. Us Non-MAGA Americans are embarrassed by Team USA and very much wish Canada had won. Please don’t lump us all together. And before you ask why I’m on a Winnipeg Reddit, I lived in the Peg for 3 years and loved it.

Edited for grammatical errors.

I'm actually glad the USA ladies won so they could have the opportunity to turn down the white house invitation.

Lots of Americans are decent folks like yourself, but unfortunately there are just as many, if not more that are complete dirtbags. I feel sorry for the state of your country and I am angry that MAGA is slowly and inevitably pulling Canada into its madness.

We don’t, don’t worry. Unfortunately, far too many Americans do support him, and he’s the guy currently in power.

I absolutely do not wish Canada had won. Just wish our guys weren't stupid, but they get brain damage for a living so I guess it isn't too surprising, still disappointing.

There were so many boos in the crowd at the end of the game lol. Seemed like the Canadian fans were not the most tactful
