The top two teams in Concacaf World Cup qualifying square off Sunday in Hamilton, Ontario.
Few people expected to utter that sentence nine games deep into the qualifying process because Canada is not a typical power house in men's soccer.
Canada's program has taken a ton of steps forward over the last few years and now it has a chance to solidify its spot atop the North American table with a win over the United States men's national team.
The USMNT should have a ton of motivation to beat its neighbor to the north. A victory would put the Americans in first place and one giant step closer to qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
