DETROIT, Mi. - The U.S. men's national team may not have opened its Gold Cup campaign with a lopsided scoreline, but it did put forth a strong performance en route to earning three points against an archrival.

Jozy Altidore scored in the first half and Clint Dempsey netted in the second to give the Americans a 2-0 win over Canada at Ford Field on Tuesday. Tim Howard also came up with a handful of fine saves on the night to preserve a shutout victory and keep the U.S. team undefeated in the group stages.

The Americans currently stand in first place in Group C after Panama defeat Guadeloupe, 3-2, in the first game of the day.

What do you think of the United States' 2-0 win? Who impressed/disappointed you? Surprised by the Americans' dominance in the match?
