Berhalter right, Mexico has edge on U.S. - 'Tata'

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Mexico head coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino agrees with U.S. boss Gregg Berhalter: Mexico has the edge over the Stars and Stripes right now.

Berhalter said earlier Thursday ahead of the friendly between the two sides in MetLife Stadium on Friday that he believed Mexico was "slightly ahead of us, having beaten us in the last game and having performed well over the last few years."

Martino concurs, but doesn't believe there is much in it.

"What I think is that Greg and I have a quite similar amount of time [in charge of our teams]," said Martino in a news conference on Thursday.
