USMNT Draws Canada, Cuba for 1st Concacaf Nations League

Concacaf has joined in on the Nations League movement, following UEFA's lead in creating another competition to largely take the place of friendlies on the international calendar.

There's not really a shiny prize at the end of the road. Much like in UEFA, where the winner of the European Championship will be considered the region's finest squad as opposed to the Nations League winner, Concacaf's champion will be whoever emerges on top at the Gold Cup this summer. Unlike in UEFA, however, there's no further incentive for teams in Concacaf's Nations League. UEFA's Nations League offered potential playoff berths for the chance to qualify for the Euros.
