While it would certainly be nice to in some small way right the wrongs of the 2007 Gold Cup, tonight isn't about the result.
There is an air of change around the Canadian soccer program right now. It began when Junior Hoilett finally pulled on a Canadian kit, but was confirmed with a win over Honduras in November. In a matter of months the team's two biggest heartaches were remedied: the 8-1 loss to Honduras to end 2014 World Cup qualifiers, and the fact that they could not attract players with other options.
With all the momentum that this has built for the program, a rivalry game against their rival United States provides Canada a chance to make a statement tonight.
