I’m really happy.” Canada will face the struggling Americans in the third-place match Sunday in the latest international sporting competition between neighbors put at odds by President Donald Trump’s incendiary rhetoric and tariff war. but in so many ways it’s just another step where we’re continuing to show our quality, our organization, our intelligence, and now it’s just a little bit of savvy, a little bit of intelligence that the best international teams have.” After a loud rendition of Mexico’s national anthem, El Tri immediately attacked and then capitalized off a fortunate bounce. After Giménez won the free kick outside the penalty area, Jiménez curled a screamer over the wall, past goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair and into the right corner of Canada’s net, setting off beer-throwing celebrations throughout the stands at the palatial home of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams.
