The U.S. men’s national soccer team plays for a third consecutive Concacaf Nations League title when it takes on rival Mexico on Sunday night.
The USMNT has won both editions of the Concacaf Nations League in 2021 and 2023.
The U.S. needed a near-miracle to make it to this point. After trailing 1-0 for much of the contest, an own goal deep into stoppage time pushed Thursday’s semifinal against Jamaica into extra time, which is when the USMNT pulled away for a 3-1 victory. In the other semifinal, Mexico had little trouble dispatching Panama, cruising to a 3-0 win.
USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter is hoping to use these final two Concacaf Nations League games as a springboard for this summer’s Copa America, which will be held in the U.S. from June 20 to July 14. The USMNT has been drawn into a group with Bolivia, Panama and Uruguay for that competition. Mexico, meanwhile, is in a group with Ecuador, Jamaica and Venezuela.
