Last summer, the USA participated in the Copa America, held in the USA for the second time. The tournament was quite exciting, but for the American team, it ended prematurely as they were eliminated in the group stage. The USA won their first match against Bolivia but then suffered defeats to Panama (1-2) and Uruguay (0-1).
As a result, the USA finished third in their group and missed out on the playoffs. Last weekend, the Americans played a friendly match against Canada at home and lost 1-2. For the first time in a long while, especially after the success at the 2024 Copa America, Canada was considered the favorite and proved it on the field. The USA have now lost three matches in a row.
New Zealand has long been overshadowed by Australia, but since the “Socceroos” moved to the Asian Football Confederation, New Zealand has become the dominant team in Oceania. They regularly play against smaller island nations in their matches.
Recently, they secured comfortable victories over Vanuatu (3-0) and Tahiti (5-0). However, these results do not reflect their current level. A more telling result was their heavy 0-3 defeat to Mexico over the weekend. The Mexicans led by three goals by the 59th minute, leaving no chance for New Zealand.
