Why you should back the USMNT

The United States has had a ton of success against the Canadians over the years. In fact, the Americans are 3-1-1 in their last five matches against Canada. Team USA secured a 1-0 victory over Canada at the Gold Cup earlier this summer, thanks to a first-minute goal from Shaquell Moore. 

The Americans enter Sunday's showdown unbeaten in their last 10 matches across all competitions. Gregg Berhalter's side has been able to secure those positive results thanks in large part to their disciplined defensive play. Team USA has recorded five consecutive shutouts and they've given up just one goal in their eight matches overall. 

Why you should back Canada

The Canadians are 9-2-1 in 2021 with a goal advantage of 43-8, with both losses in the Gold Cup. Mexico beat them 2-1 in the semifinals, and Team USA took that 1-0 victory in the group stage. But Canada had the advantage for much of that match, holding 55 percent possession and outshooting the Americans 14-6. The goal came on a defensive breakdown 20 seconds into the match, and Canada had numerous chances to equalize. 

Both teams were short-handed in the last meeting between the teams, but Canada has striker Jonathan David and star winger Alphonso Davies this time. David has 15 goals in 17 matches in all competitions for the national team, and Davies has nine in 24. Cyle Larin is second all-time in goals for Canada with 19 and should make a young USA defense nervous. Veteran Junior Hoilett, who has 13 international goals, and 22-year-old Tajon Buchanan also will give the Americans something to think about.
