El Tri's plans to prepare for a summer that includes World Cup qualifiers, the Confederations Cup and the Gold Cup involve two friendlies in the U.S.

Mexico will prepare for its June World Cup qualification matches and trip to the Confederations Cup with two friendlies in the United States, Soccer United Marketing announced Tuesday.
