This football season was packed to the brim with the World Cup going down in the midst of the European football calendar and top players from the USA and Canada driving from August to May without a moment’s respite.
As such, the Yanks and Canucks decided to make use of the CONCACAF Gold Cup as a possibility for some promising players to get some reps.
The result’s Sunday’s US-Canada game that does not have the juice it normally would.
It also makes competitions harder to succeed in with a handicap, which is generally good for the underdog.
USA vs Canada type
While the Americans managed to progress through Group A with two wins, a draw and a goal difference of plus 12, it ought to be noted that they were tied with the one decent team (Jamaica) of their set.
The Americans were capable of rating at will against Trinidad and Tobago and Saint Kitts and Nevis, but were held back for essentially the most part against Jamaica.
I might expect a similar tilt against the Canadian side that decides to sit down deep and force the Americans to interrupt them.

The Canadian side is well organised, which can create a password and may hold the tie for the whole match.
