Canada's women's national soccer team secures a 4-0 victory over Paraguay, advancing to the knockout stages of the CONCACAF W Gold Cup.

The USWNT mystique is gone, and the rising level of the rest of the world is only part of the story. A 2-0 defeat to Mexico serves as a reminder that the team hasn’t found their new, cohesive identity just yet. Still... it's jarring. ✍️ @itsmeglinehan https://t.co/Ct15t2syJP https://t.co/I9YZXyzzok
If you're just waking up: Yes, Mexico beat the #USWNT on two stunning goals, and the better team on the night won. On a U.S. defense that was rattled, an attack that was siloed, and the familiarity of issues from the World Cup: 🔗 https://t.co/uuWUekd7j5 For @EqualizerSoccer https://t.co/WZveV4xSrK
The #USWNT entered last night’s Gold Cup match sorely needing a win. Instead, Mexico dominated the game whistle to whistle. Plus, Anthony Kim is officially back ... sort of. The Pulse ⤵️ https://t.co/siTczNoRgq
U.S. women's soccer loses to Mexico for first time in nearly 14 years in Gold Cup shocker https://t.co/dYUAc0l5xD
Things sure did happen tonight. #USWNT https://t.co/ifOOlmtH5k

GOLAZOOOOOOOOOOOO 🚀🇲🇽 MEXICO DEFEAT THE USWNT FOR THE SECOND TIME IN HISTORY ‼️ https://t.co/A28VTK4KcK
DOS A CERO 🇲🇽 @Miseleccionfem tops Group A of the CONCACAF W Gold Cup and defeats the USWNT for the first time since 2010! https://t.co/HyUquzbDbh
2000 - Mexico is the first Concacaf team to defeat the #USWNT on American soil since Canada on November 11, 2000. The U.S. was unbeaten in 80 striaght home matches against Concacaf opposition (W78 D2). Millennial. https://t.co/6WoTMX2ECR
That 2010 result being referenced is when Mexico beat the #USWNT in Cancun (Abby Wambach's bloody head being stapled among the wild scenes) to force the world No. 1 into a global playoff for the final World Cup berth. (A young Alex Morgan scored a crucial goal in Italy in Leg 1.)
#uswnt first half against mexico unfortunately yeah i just finished d2s season 6 why do you ask https://t.co/ERu6ysvL9y
Some halftime #USWNT thoughts: -Sloppy + slow, that's fixable - No entry passes from CBs like they had the other night w/Girma + Davidson - Front ~4 playing in silos Plenty of changes that could be made, but there's also a theory here to let this group figure it out.
Ovalle's wonderful goal for Mexico ends a run of 33 straight shutouts for the USWNT in official Concacaf competitions 🇲🇽 The U.S. had outscored opponents 158-0 in those games 😱 https://t.co/pF2KAdttEj
It feels like Sonnett could be a second half option for some ball winning. (I was going to say I would support sending this same XI back out to sort their shit out, but then Sophia Smith is doing clearances in the #USWNT box and yeah, perhaps some adjustments.)
Encouraging opening 12 minutes from Mexico. They've made the #USWNT uncomfortable -- and the US has put itself under unnecessary pressure with some poor passes -- and run at the U.S. back line.
