History of the USA vs Canada rivalry
The USA holds the edge in all-time games against Canada. Particularly since the late 2010s, games between the two have been especially competitive.
The first game between the two teams was actually all the way back in 1885, one of the first (unofficial) international football matches ever held outside the United Kingdom.
A long stretch of time, from 1985-2019, went by without Canada defeating the US in a friendly match. That streak ended in October 2019, when Canada won 2-0 at home.
Canada actually finished as the top team in CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers for 2022, ahead of Mexico and the USA.
In recent history, the US came out on top 2-0 vs Canada in the 2023 CONCACAF Nations League Final.
