| Well everyone, that does it. In retrospect, this wasn’t a fantastic performance by either team. Granted, a lot of these players are still shaking off the rust as they prepare for their regular season and historically speaking this was never going to be a goal fest. But Ethan Finley saved the day with a great cross for Jozy Altidore. So USA are 2-0 in 2016 and Jozy is one goal behind Eric Wynalda. Amazing. Right, I’m off. I’ll be back this Sunday to do the Super Bowl en español! Have a great weekend. | Well everyone, that does it. In retrospect, this wasn’t a fantastic performance by either team.

| Well, it’s all even (were you surprised?) at the half and nothing much to talk about. USA has had the better chances but Canada has had moments through their counter-attacking. Morris has played well and Larin needs more support. Let’s hope we see an improvement in the second half. | Well, it’s all even (were you surprised?) at the half and nothing much to talk about.
