DF Chris Richards (USA) – Richards has emerged as one of the top center backs in the U.S. player pool thanks to his performance in Las Vegas. He started both matches for the champions and scored the winning goal in the Final, while making three blocks and six clearances.
DF Steven Vitoria (CAN) – Vitoria was excellent in Canada’s 2-0 win versus Panama, completing 96 percent of his passes and making a steal. He then had another steal and completed 39 passes coming off the bench in the second half in the Final. Also has two ball recoveries over the two games.

FW Folarin Balogun (USA) – Balogun could not have asked for a better debut in a U.S. jersey, starting in the win over Mexico and then scoring in the Final against Canada.
FW Christian Pulisic (USA) – The winner of the Best Player Award at the CNLF, Pulisic scored the first two U.S. goals against Mexico and then pestered the Canadian defense in the Final with two shots.
