Overall, as a coach of a kids team myself, as well as a player in men's league, I subscribe heavily to the "Any Given Day" that is, any team can win any game school of thought.
If they're ready for this, they can do it, they've played well enough so far, but they're going to have to elevate their game a little to continue.

Canada will have to play much better against the Americans if they want to win. They beat Guatemala because they were the worse team on the pitch, not necessarily because of Canada's prowess. I thought that overall Canada played a bad game in the quarters so hopefully they can play themselves into form for the semifinals, otherwise the most Canada can hope for is a third place finish.
