USMNT vs Canada 8:30 ET Nations League Championship

[Tanko]

Big game tonight for Nations League Championship.

US is down a number of key players (Tyler Adams - injury, Ream - Injury, Mckinnie - Red Cards, Dest - Red Card).

The US match vs Mexico on Thursday turned into a MMA match with 4 players ejected. It was a little testy but the US showed some offensive power against a Mexico team that seems to be on the slide.

The Candadians are only playing their 2nd game together in 2 months. They looked rusty against Panama Thursday so you have to wonder if it will all come together tonight.

I see this as a very tight game. 1-1 draw is possible with winner on penalty kicks and think the line is a little too far twards the US.

Canada +307
USA +101
Draw +229

I think USA has all the momentum

I agree but damn... they have 4 big names out.
2 (Adams, McKinnie) I view as key mid-fielders to move the offense.
It worries me a little.

Over 2.5 has value IMO at around +150

Yes. You're probably right on that Billy. Good catch.

Aren't they defensive midfielders? Not sure Canada has the offense to make much of a difference. It just seems like USA is on the up and up and they take it today.

Canada has 3 players with 3 or more goals in the tournament, same as the US.

I'm going with BTTS +116 and O2.5 +144 (both at BM).

I also like Mexico -1 +107 for the first game.

Two different levels of quality here.

Mexico has way more talent than Panama but the only concern is if Mexico doesn't give a crap about the bronze after losing so badly to the US. Panama is looking for its first medal in Nations League play and first medal in a CONCACAF tourny since 2015,

You guys convinced me...

Let's see some goals in regulation

PUSH....
Come on US/CAN score some goals.

 

[easy_street]

2 down....need some of that offense from canada you guys were talking about

 

[Tanko]

Alright. Alright. Alright.
Come on Canada give us just 1 goal.

 

[easy_street]

That was such a great shot from canada

Cant believe Canada didn’t get one goal.
The US has so many chances to get to 3 as well. SMH.

Now we get Gold Cup matches.
