'We have a target on our back': Why USWNT's game against Canada could be a preview of what's to come next summer

FRISCO -- For the U.S. women's soccer team, the road to another World Cup title is getting steeper, starting Wednesday.

The Americans will play Canada at 7 p.m. at Toyota Stadium for the championship of CONCACAF, the international federation representing North American, Central American and Caribbean countries.

The game is for bragging rights, and little more. Both Canada and the United States automatically qualified for the 2019 World Cup in France just by making it to the CONCACAF title match.

But it could also be a sneak peek at what's in store next summer in France for Team USA, the current World Cup champion.
