MIAMI SHORES, Fla. (AP) — For U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann, it's all about one thing: Mexico.
His team is training at Barry University, with two tuneup games coming up. The first is against Cuba in Havana on Friday, the first game for the U.S. on the island since 1947. The next is against New Zealand on Tuesday in Washington.
"The bigger picture behind these 10 days is clear—it's preparing for Mexico on Nov. 11," Klinsmann said.
That game—in Columbus, Ohio—is the first match for both teams of the final round of CONCACAF qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
