After dispatching their rivals to the south, the United States men’s national team will look to do the same with their much friendlier northern neighbors when they square off with Canada in Sunday’s CONCACAF Nations League final. 
Canada is seeking their first major trophy since the turn of the century, when they claimed victory in the 2000 Gold Cup after their 2-0 win over Panama in the semifinal.

After dispatching their rivals to the south, the United States men’s national team will look to do the same with their much friendlier northern neighbors when they square off with Canada in Sunday’s CONCACAF Nations League final. 
Canada is seeking their first major trophy since the turn of the century, when they claimed victory in the 2000 Gold Cup after their 2-0 win over Panama in the semifinal. Standing in their way is a USA side that finished their 3-0 win over Mexico with only nine men on the pitch in a match that was marred by fighting and wretched fan behavior.
Will the USMNT be able to overcome key absences in their midfield, or will Canada’s counter-pressing style be able to take advantage and bring home a long-awaited piece of hardware?

USA vs Canada picks and predictions
While it’s been 23 years since they raised a trophy, it’s been more than twice that long since Canada defeated the Americans in their own backyard. The last time the Canadians came south and claimed victory was in 1957, a feat they’ll have to repeat if they hope to win on Sunday in Las Vegas.
They’re also keen to erase the memories of a very disappointing World Cup. A dark-horse pick by many, Canada failed to earn a point, scoring just two goals as they lost all three of their matches. But they’ve recovered nicely, winning all three of their CONCACAF Nations League games since then by a combined score of 8-1. 
Striker Jonathan David is in strong form, and his opener on Thursday gives him three goals in his last three outings for the national team. 
The United States won the inaugural Nations League trophy in 2021, and seek to remain the only holders of it with a win over Canada. They’ve failed to beat their northern neighbors in each of their last two meetings, drawing 1-1 at home in World Cup qualifying before losing 2-0 in Canada. 
Thursday night’s performance against Mexico gave USMNT fans quite a bit to be excited about. While he didn’t score himself, Folarin Balogun’s movement contributed to their second goal on the night as Christian Pulisic scored either side of halftime. With Tyler Adams absent, their lineup was as strong as it could be and left many American fans believing this was their strongest side possible.
That won’t be the case on Sunday. Their depth will have to come into play with Weston McKennie and Sergino Dest both suspended after being shown straight red cards in a match that got very contentious as Mexico got outclassed. The loss of those two players will hurt a defense that held Mexico to just one shot on goal.
Canada were a bit fortunate to keep Panama from scoring on Thursday night, but this is a much tougher attack to stop. The USMNT looked lethal with Gio Reyna pulling the strings, and it’s hard to see Canada keeping another clean sheet. 
But the same goes for the United States. Mexico was without their top three strikers and multiple key players in the middle. Canada will likely have Alphonso Davies back in the starting lineup, and his pace can cause real problems, while David and Cyle Larin will test the back line. 
Belgium are the only side to keep Canada off the...
