USA
The USA will be looking to put their disappointing Copa America campaign behind them and embark on a new adventure. The Americans were dire in the group stage and could not get out of it and into the knockout rounds of the competition. It saw the end of the tenure of Gregg Berhalter as the USA head coach,
Berhalter guided the USA to two CONCACAF Nations League titles and a Gold Cup. Former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino is now likely to take over, and the hope is that the team will return to their former glory under the Argentine manager.
The USA have a good record at Children’s Mercy Park. They have won eight matches and drawn two games, scoring 20 goals and conceding two in the process.

Canada
