Nov 10 (Reuters) - The United States will renew their rivalry with Mexico in a World Cup qualifier on Friday, three days after the U.S. presidential election brought the relationship between the two nations to the forefront in a bitterly divisive campaign.
While U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard sought to downplay the significance of the election of Donald Trump, the match will be played in a swing state, Ohio, that helped vault the Republican candidate to the White House.
During the campaign, Trump said many Mexican immigrants to the U.S. were "bringing drugs, bringing crime, they're rapists" before adding that some, he assumed, were good people.
