They have fixed one area in soccer that always bugged me.

Let's not say it's fixed just yet. The referee message boards are confused about how this is within the VAR guidelines. if it is, and that's a big if, it's on the very outer edges.

We've had some of the best movements I can remember from a US squad. Just need that finish


Our runs behind the defense and passes into them have been outstanding

US playing a mature match - not getting drawn in to skirmishes with Paraguay's Conmebol tactics.

Love the effort today.
Wish we were a bit more creative in the final third, but we are making progress as a soccer nation

I love chat GPT.

Based on what we've actually seen so far in this tournament window:

Short answer:

YesUSA has looked more impressive than both Mexico and Canada overall.

How it stacks up:

USA (31 vs Paraguay, live)

* More attacking punch and pace
* Breaking lines and getting into dangerous areas consistently
* Paraguay is a tougher, more physical opponent than it looks on paper
* Winning in a more "dominant" way, not just grinding it out

This is the most "complete" performance of the three so far.



Mexico (20 vs South Africa)

* Controlled game, professional win
* But South Africa is generally a lower-tier group opponent
* Mexico looked solid, but not particularly explosive or dominant in chances created

Good result, but not as revealing against stronger resistance.



Canada (11 vs Bosnia & Herzegovina)

* Struggled to separate from a mid-level European side
* Some control, but lacked cutting edge
* Dropping points in a match they'd probably want to win

The least convincing of the three performances.



Big picture read:

Right now:

* USA looks the most dynamic and dangerous
* Mexico looks stable but not scary yet
* Canada looks a step behind in finishing and control

If you're trying to project who has the highest ceiling based on opening games, it's clearly:
USA > Mexico > Canada

If you want, I can go deeper into why the US attack looks different under pressure compared to the other two.

He kept making the runs, and sometimes, one thing leads to another.
