The United States Men’s National Team opened World Cup Qualifying with a scoreless draw against El Salvador. The second of three matches in this international window sees Gregg Berhalter and company face off with Canada at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. This is only the second round out of 14, but building up on points early can help weather bad stretches or unexpected results.
This is the 37th all-time meeting between the two nations, with the USMNT holding a 16-9-11 advantage. Canada is rapidly becoming stronger, rolling through 2022 World Cup qualifying and reaching the semifinals of the recent Gold Cup.
