Because the game is nearly irrelevant. "Nations League" game a year after the World Cup. Technically an official game, but doesn't qualify us for anything, nor does the competition have any prestige. If you have this much time to get mad about a meaningless game against a mid-level team, you have a lot of time on your hands. No one will remember this game in a month. I doubt most people could even remember the score of the Mexico game a month ago, and that was a game against our biggest rival.
If you are seriously going to claim that this loss matters more than not qualifying for the WC, you are out to lunch on this issue.
Yesterday's loss is a microcosm of every goddamn game we've played against a half-decent opponent while under Berhalter and his "tactics" and roster choices. You say Canada is a mid-tier team...well, based on that logic what does it say about us that we lost to them, hm?
You're kidding yourself if you think this loss doesn't matter in the slightest.
