Watch: Canadian women's national team plays birthday prank on manager

The Canadian women's national team played a bit of a practical joke on manager John Herdman on Wednesday in commemoration of the coach's birthday, with two players coming to (fake) blows before another player served him his birthday cake.

Allysha Chapman and Melissa Tancredi pretended to feud on the training pitch, drawing Herdman's attention and, with his immediate focus set on breaking up the "fight," another player smashed a cream-topped cake into his face.

The entire team roared with laughter as Herdman bent over, hands on knees, well and truly pranked.
