Anybody know why Canada had to play in Houston rather than Toronto?
Seems like a co-host country would get to play at home similar to Mexico playing in Mexico City next. Edit - never mind, I see now that because they finished 2nd in their group they had to play at a US venue. If they finished 1st in their group, they would have played in Canada. ** Edited by HwoodHokie at 7/4/2026, 3:59:47 PM

Because it was about time.

Round of 16 for Canada's group (and their 2nd place finish) was Houston.
Would have been the same for any 2nd place team from that group. All pre-determined, nobody gets to choose where they play. ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 7/4/2026, 4:01:01 PM
