The pressure is on both Mexico and Costa Rica heading into their CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinal
Both Miguel Herrera and Paulo Wanchope are under pressure to reach the CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinals as Mexico and Costa Rica prepare for battle in New Jersey.
The teams meet at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Sunday knowing that a loss will end their tournament, and perhaps their coach's time in charge.
Mexico is nine-time champion but failed to finish top of Group C after an incredible 4-4 draw against Trinidad and Tobago. That has increased the pressure on Herrera, whose focus was on the Gold Cup after he decided to take a weaker squad to the Copa America in June.
