This soccer season was jam-packed, with a World Cup taking place in the middle of the European soccer calendar, and the best players from both the United States and Canada went from August to May without really getting a breather.

Thus, the Yanks and Canucks opted to use the CONCACAF Gold Cup as an opportunity for some up-and-coming players to get some reps.

The result is a USA-Canada match on Sunday that doesn’t have the juice it would normally.

It also makes the contest trickier to handicap, which is usually good for the underdog.

While the Americans were able to breeze through Group A with two wins, a draw and a plus-12 goal differential, it should be noted they did tie the only decent outfit (Jamaica) in their set.

The Americans were able to score at will against Trinidad and Tobago, and Saint Kitts and Nevis, but were stymied for the most part against Jamaica.

I’d expect a similar kind of tilt against a Canadian side that will opt to sit deep and force the Americans to break them down.

The Canadian side is well organized, which will create a slog and should keep the draw in play for the entire match.

USA-Canada draw +300 (Fan Duel).
