This will be the eighth showdown in the tournament final between the two sides. Mexico holds a 5-2 edge, but the U.S. won the most recent meeting in 2021 on an extra-time header from Miles Robinson — the match’s lone goal — that secured the team’s seventh trophy.
Each team arrives with momentum. El Tri advanced with a 1-0 win over Honduras in the semifinals, a match defined by Raúl Jiménez’s poise in the box and a back line that bent but didn’t break.
Meanwhile, the U.S. earned its spot behind a breakout performance from 21-year-old Diego Luna, who scored twice in the first 15 minutes of play and helped secure a 2-1 win over Guatemala. With three goals in two games, Luna continues to be the story of the American summer.

MLB All-Star All-Snubs team: Trea Turner, Rafael Devers, Juan Soto among notable misses
Guys, this keeps happening! Every year, like clockwork, Major League Baseball picks two All-Star Teams. And every year, really good players get left out. It’s almost as if the system itself is not perfectly designed to get the absolute best players onto the rosters!So, here we are again, savoring Sunday’s All-Star selections by celebrating the players who didn’t make it. Granted, some of these snubs will be replacements — our All-Snubs team last year had 15 players, and three were eventually chosen — but among the snubs who remained left out of last year’s All-Star Game were an eventual Rookie of the Year (Luis Gil) and an eventual MVP runner-up (Francisco Lindor).

Twins takeaways: With trade deadline looming, this team is in a tough spot
MINNEAPOLIS — The Twins once again got in their own way on Sunday afternoon, and it prevented them from the completion of a much-needed sweep.Costly defensive miscues by Twins relief pitchers led to extended innings, including a late three-spot as the Tampa Bay Rays won 7-5 in 10 innings at Target Field. Griffin Jax and Justin Topa misplayed comebackers and combined to allow five runs for the Twins, who fell to 43-47. The team is off Monday before opening a three-game series at home against the first-place Chicago Cubs.AdvertisementWhereas earlier in the season the Twins could focus on the good developments from winning a three-game series against the Rays, this time they’re in a difficult spot.The margin for error is razor thin. And the Twins are simply running out of time to correct their course. Even so, the Twins say […]
José Ramírez Deserves Better: Guardians Slide From ALCS to 10-Game Skid
The Cleveland Guardians were three wins away from the World Series last year. Less than nine months later, they’ve now dropped 10 straight games and are inching toward a full-blown rebuild. On Sunday afternoon, they came within one strike of snapping a nine-game losing streak — a stretch in which their offense has ranked dead last in nearly every statistical category. But after a rare mistake by closer Emmanuel Clase, the Detroit Tigers tied the game in the ninth. Cleveland unraveled in extra innings and lost, 7–2. Losing streaks are rarely pretty. But this one? This has been a death march up a mountain without an oxygen tank. It started unraveling in late June in a series against the Toronto Blue Jays. That’s when Kevin Gausman beaned Cleveland’s All-Star third baseman José Ramírez. At the time, the Guardians were floating […]

Yankees earn reset after splitting Subway Series against Mets, snap six-game losing streak
NEW YORK — Here were the Yankees at their best: the lineup smashing homers and doubles early, the ace and bullpen surviving a rocky middle, the fielders making clutch, heady plays to save the day. After a week in the wilderness, the Yankees found their way to the clearing of Monday’s off day.They are bruised but breathing.Advertisement“A day like today is important to get through and shake hands, win, hang on,” manager Aaron Boone said after winning the series finale – though not the series – over the Mets at Citi Field. “A handful of guys do some really good things in that game, whether it be defensively, whether it be out of the bullpen. Those are meet-the-moment kind of things.”They met the Mets six times this season and fought to a draw. The 6-4 win on Sunday followed six […]
