The U.S. women’s national team is set for another big match against Canada and this time, it won’t be played in a swimming pool.
The two sides met just one month ago in the W Gold Cup semifinal, a game that was marred by unplayable conditions after a downpour in San Diego.
The USWNT defeated Canada in a penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw through 120 minutes, going on to win the Gold Cup with a 1-0 victory over Brazil in the final.
This time around, we should get a better idea of where these teams stand against one another as they meet for the second time in 35 days.

The USWNT reached the final by defeating Japan 2-1 in the semifinal on Saturday, as Jaedyn Shaw and Lindsey Horan found the net. Canada, meanwhile, advanced past Brazil in a shootout after a 1-1 draw over 90 minutes.
USWNT defender Naomi Girma is a doubt for this match after picking up a thigh injury against Japan, but midfielder Sam Coffey is recovered following her removal from the game with a possible head injury.
This will be the 66th all-time meeting between the USWNT and Canada, with the U.S. holding a 53W-8D-4L record against its rival to the north.
