It’s been less than a year since the FIFA Men’s World Cup champion was crowned in Argentina. Now the women get their turn. But what are the differences between the two tournaments?
The last time the U.S. men's national team faced Canada was in June and saw the former win 2-0 to claim the 2023 Nations League title.
Now in July, the rivals will meet again for the chance to play in the semifinal of the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup, though the roster circumstances are much different this time.
The U.S. doesn't have most of its marquee players who are abroad in Europe, with goalkeeper Matt Turner the lone starter from the 2022 World Cup squad. The roster is mostly comprised of young players hoping to breakthrough with the A team, sprinkled in with some veterans.
Canada is quite similar as its two biggest stars in Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David are not participating in the Gold Cup. That's been just one factor in Les Rouges' underperformances in the group stage that saw them finish second behind Guatemala and just above Guadeloupe on points.
So, here's everything to know about the U.S.-Canada Gold Cup quarterfinal on Sunday:
