We are in the second week of Rivalry Week, and this week we’re going to take a look at one of the best rivalries in the world: United States vs. Mexico. There are so many matches that one can view to understand how passionate this rivalry is in men’s soccer. It dominates CONCACAF, it’s the one that each of us looks forward to watching, whether it’s in Columbus or Estadio Azteca.
However, when we think about the best match in this rivalry, it’s already known for most USMNT fans: Jeonju. The Round of 16 match that took place between the two sides on June 17, 2002 during the 2002 World Cup is easily the one match that we hold over the heads of our rivals.
