In a thrilling match, Team Canada triumphed over Team USA, winning 3-2 in the 4 Nations Face-Off championship, highlighting the longstanding rivalry and recent tensions due to U.S. politics. Analyst Charles Barkley suggested that President Trump's remarks about tariffs and annexation motivated the Canadian team, implying that the pressure from these comments drove them to perform better. The match, coming just days after Canada lost to the U.S. in the round robin, was significantly anticipated and reflected deeper political undercurrents between the two nations, transforming the game into a moment of national pride for Canada.
I'm not gonna be a sore loser, Barkley said. Congrats to Canada. I'm sorry we got the tariffs on you.
They were playing harder because of the tariffs, Barkley responded, and they didn't wanna be the 51st state.
