2018 CONCACAF World Cup Qualifier

Columbus. Cool weather. Two CONCACAF rivals fighting for a spot in the next FIFA World Cup.

Must be time for USA-Mexico again.

La Guerra Fria, they called it in the Mexican media, the first time these two sides met here in a World Cup qualifier. The Cold War. That was in February 2001, during qualification for Korea-Japan 2002. Friday night's matchup at MAPFRE Stadium will mark the fifth straight World Cup qualifying cycle to see USA-Mexico in Columbus, and the name still suits.
