Welcome to your match thread as the United States Men’s National Team takes on Mexico in the second of the Yanks’ Kickoff Series matches. After losing to Brazil on Thursday, the U.S. looks to rebound against its arch rival.
Since that 2-0 defeat last week, two players — John Brooks and Paul Arriola — have left the international team to return to their respective clubs. Both Brooks and Arriola started against Brazil.
Mexico has dominated the all-time series, going 37-19-14 in 70 games. However, this is in large part due to the Mexicans going 22-1-3 in the first 26 matches.
