Even without Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, Canada and the USA are still on course for the World Cup, and Mexico are also regaining momentum in qualifying. Canada won 2-0 in Honduras and remain on target for their first World Cup appearance since 1986, topping the CONCACAF table with 19 points from nine games.
One point behind are the USA, who, with the two Bundesliga pros Tyler Adams (RB Leipzig) and Chris Richards (TSG Hoffenheim) in the starting XI, beat El Salvador 1-0. Young star Ricardo Pepi from FC Augsburg was not substituted on. Gregg Berhalter’s team will host Canada on Sunday (local time).
