With two games to play in the classification stage of the CONCACAF U20 Championship, the United States U20 team will face perhaps its biggest test of the tournament against a team that also happens to be its biggest rival.
That would be Mexico, of course, and it’s the first meeting between the two countries in the competition since 2013 and the 10th meeting overall. The U.S. doesn’t have a good track record with an all-time 1-8-0 record in the competition.
While a win would put the U.S. in good shape for advancing to the finals and in even better position to snag one of four World Cup berths, a more realistic result given their performance to date would be to hold Mexico to a respectable score line.
