With just five matchdays remaining in Concacaf World Cup Qualifying, the top two teams in the Octagonal standings face off in a crucial match today. The United States Men’s National Team travel north of the border to take on burgeoning rivals Canada with the top spot in the group up for grabs.
Canada are coming off a 3-0 win away from home against Honduras to keep control of first place, while the U.S. scraped a 1-0 victory at home against El Salvador.
Gregg Berhalter’s lineup choices have been thrown a curveball with it being announced that Tim Weah will be unable to travel due to not meeting Canada’s vaccination requirements.
