SportsMole:
The USA can retain their CONCACAF Nations League title when they host Canada in the final from Allegiant Stadium in Nevada on Sunday.
On Thursday, the Canucks scored once in each half to blank Panama 2-0, while the Yanks maintained their recent dominance over their Central American rivals, claiming a 3-0 victory over Mexico.
The team will be under the guidance of BJ Callaghan for now though, and he won his first match in charge Thursday since taking over from Anthony Hudson.
While they finished third in the final round of 2022 World Cup qualifying, the Yanks are still the highest-ranked team in CONCACAF according to FIFA (13th) and have lifted the last two major trophies in this region, claiming the Nations League and Gold Cup crown.
The USA have only suffered one defeat in their entire Nations League history, which came against Canada nearly four years ago, while they have only lost one home fixture since October 2019, falling 2-1 in a friendly versus Serbia earlier this year.
Like Canada, most of these American players apply their trade in Europe, many flourishing on big clubs around the globe in what could be the best generation in the history of this program.
Whoever is eventually named the full-time coach of this team will have plenty of time to prepare them for the upcoming World Cup, which will be co-hosted by themselves, Canada and Mexico in 2026.
Since 2016, the Yanks have only suffered one defeat when scoring the opening goal in a game, with that loss coming earlier this year to the Serbians.
They have won their last six knockout stage affairs while winning the previous Nations League and Gold Cup finals in extra time.Comment -

No not really, as it opened w/ USA +120, this is a tough matchup for USA against Canada who's beaten them 2-0 in last meeting. And last 5: Canada is 2-2-1... so will be a close one.Originally posted by Optional
One prediction:
We say: Canada 1-1 USA (Canada wins on penalties)
The Canadians have proven they are a force to be reckoned with in CONCACAF, and their offensive depth and continuity seems to be a little sharper than the Americans, which is why we believe they are due to lift some silverware at long last this weekend.Comment -

The play right now on FanDuel at least and probably other stateside books as well is US to lift the cup. I got -138 a minute ago, it’s -146 right now which is still well short of Pinny -168
