• I am somewhat unfamiliar with sports GAs, so I will be comparing this to 2021 EFL Championship play-off final while reviewing.
• "The 2023 CONCACAF...League A." The first sentences of other football game GAs seem to start by mentioning just the two teams that played the final and the date of the game.
  • Moved some elements around, but it's difficult to explain things properly without repeating "CONCACAF Nations League" three times in two sentences.
• The lead seems a bit thin: you could probably mention a bit of background for both teams, and the monetary rewards from the game. Also, consolidate the lead into two paragraphs.
  • Consolidated, but the lead really can't be expanded much further without becoming too detailed for a summary.
• I don't think that the venue is important enough to have an entire section devoted to it. Maybe you could have a section about the background of the Nations League in general and the venue could be one or two sentences in that.
  • This is standard practice for articles on finals that take place in predetermined neutral venues, such as the World Cup, continental championships, and UEFA Champions League.
• Have performed a copy-edit to take care of minor issues in the prose that I saw; feel free to discuss any changes you disagree with.
  • I had to revert one (the Honduras section) and made it a bit clearer. Everything else was great.
• Earwig's clear.
• Images are formatted and used properly.
• Spot-checks: All sources checked verified all claims made.
  • Goff, Steven (June 16, 2023). "Christian Pulisic scores twice to lift U.S. to contentious win over Mexico". The Washington Post.
  • "Canadian men to learn CONCACAF Nations League A tournament draw on Monday". Toronto Star.
  • Borg, Simon (June 18, 2023). "USA vs Canada lineups, starting 11s and team news for CONCACAF Nations League final between USMNT and CanMNT". The Sporting News.
  • "Balogun seals Nations League against Canada after choosing US over England". The Guardian.
  • Goff, Steven (August 2, 2021). "Miles Robinson scores late in extra time as USMNT upsets Mexico in Gold Cup final". The Washington Post.
• That's all I have. AryKun (talk) 15:30, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

@AryKun: Thanks for the review and sorry for the lateness; I was on a hiking trip over the long weekend. I've replied to your comments. SounderBruce 19:56, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
