Fox News host Brian Kilmeade previews Team USA’s chances at the World Cup on ‘The Story' as President Donald Trump wishes them well.

The United States continues to live rent-free in Canadians' heads. That was evident once again moments before Canada's first World Cup match, when the competing countries were being recognized during the Parade of Nations at Toronto Stadium.

When the time came for the United States to be recognized pregame, Canada fans, as they've done in many sporting events over the last several years, booed. Great sportsmanship, eh?

As I said, this is nothing new from our neighbors to the north. During the 4 Nations Face-Off and at numerous NHL games last season, Canadian fans booed the U.S. national anthem.

Since then, Canada has lost three Olympic gold medal games to the United States — in men's hockey, women's hockey and para ice hockey. And if not for a fortunate deflection off a Bosnia and Herzegovina defender in the 78th minute, Canada would have found itself on the wrong side of the biggest upset of the World Cup so far.

Canada’s equalizer would be all they could muster against Bosnia and Herzegovina as the match ended 1-1, making it a disappointing start to their World Cup campaign, especially on home turf.

Canada, friendly advice, though y’all don’t deserve it at this point: I’d stop the booing. It hasn’t worked out well for you.
