USMNT and Canada: A CONCACAF Clash for Third Place
Okay, so the CONCACAF Nations League is wrapping up, and Sunday, March 23rd, has a pretty big showdown: the US Men's National Team (USMNT) against Canada for third place. Both teams had rough semi-final losses – the USMNT to Panama and Canada to Mexico – so they’re both hungry for a win to end the tournament on a better note. This'll be their 42nd meeting, and while the USMNT has a slight edge historically, remember Canada beat them in a friendly last September. Anything can happen, right?
How to Catch the Game
If you're in the US, you can stream it on Paramount+, DirecTV Stream, UniMas, TUDN, or ViX (available through Sling TV). For everyone else, a VPN might be your best bet to access a streaming service.
Game Time
Kick-off is 6:00 pm PT / 3:00 pm ET on Sunday. Mark your calendars!
Who's Playing (and Who's Not)
The USMNT is dealing with some injuries. Big names like Folarin Balogun, Ricardo Pepi, and Johnny Cardoso will be missing. Christian Pulisic will be one to watch – another goal could put him even higher on the USMNT's all-time scoring list. Canada, on the other hand, needs to overcome some offensive challenges from their game against Mexico. They’ll be counting on Jonathan David to lead the line. Jesse Marsch’s team is looking to build on their recent win against the US, too.
This Rivalry is *Real*
This isn’t just any game; it's a big rivalry match. Both teams want redemption. The USMNT's hoping to shake off their disappointing semi-final, while Canada wants to show they're a force to be reckoned with. It’s going to be intense, I can feel it!
Honestly, I’m pretty excited to see how this one plays out. Who do *you* think will take it?
