From the start of the 2017 CONCACAF Men's U-17 Championship, it seemed Mexico and the USA would meet in the final - and that is what has happened.
The two stand-out U-17 squads in the region met in the group stage, and the USA's 4-3 win was a little more comfortable than the score suggests (Mexico's third came too late to really raise any doubts about the result). The US has won every game it has played in this tournament to date; El Tri has lost one, and the final is its chance to avenge that defeat.
