It’s never just another game when Mexico and the United States clash. On Friday in East Rutherford, New Jersey the current CONCACAF champs take on the United States Men’s National Team in their first meeting since last July’s Gold Cup Final.
El Tri arrive to this match with a full-strength side and looking to extend their recent dominance over their North American rivals after going unbeaten in four of the last five matches versus the stars and stripes.
But U.S. soccer will have another chance of tackling their incessant feeling of inadequacy and inferiority towards Mexican soccer by playing Mexico in the only type of match they have had real success over El Tri, friendlies.
