The game vs. the United States could become a new nightmare for Mexican soccer in its war against the homophobic chant — "eeeh, puto!" — if local fans commit to social media campaigns calling to boycott the Mexican Football Federation.
This is it. This is the final Mexico vs USA soccer match in World Cup qualifying that will really matter. After this, the teams will (presumably) be given automatic berths to the 2026 World Cup as co-hosts before Concacaf qualifiers are be rendered largely meaningless when FIFA expands the field to 48 teams.
But now, this Mexico vs USA soccer match is the biggest sporting event in the world this month — or at least in North America.
El fin del camino está en el horizonte. Las eliminatorias de la Concacaf para Catar 2022 se acaban con la serie de tres partidos que se disputarán a partir de este jueves 24 de marzo. México aún no tiene los boletos en el bolsillo y tendrá que dar lo mejor que tiene ante Estados Unidos, Honduras y El Salvador para poder cumplir el sueño.
Para la misión, Gerardo Martino tiene un plantel casi completo, con la excepción de los lesionados Andrés Guardado, Julio César Domínguez y Rogelio Funes Mori.
The final major international window before the World Cup begins Monday and lasts through early next week with crucial matches being contested across UEFA, CONMEBOL, Concacaf, CAF, AFC and OFC. We'll know 29 of the 32 competing nations in Qatar after this period, with only the inter-confederation playoffs (two spots) and a delayed European playoff final (one spot) to go.
The Mexican national team revealed its roster for the upcoming and final round of games in the 2022 Concacaf World Cup qualifiers, including the highly anticipated face-off against the USMNT.
There was no need for TV nonsense. El Tri just dropped their names on social networks because the only show people need to watch is how the fans complain about Tata Martino's players' selection.
The USMNT and Mexico have played each other more than any other country in the world, but there are two meetings every four years that stand out above every other match between the old foes. For as often as the teams face off in finals and friendlies, it’s the World Cup qualifiers that tend to bring out the fiercest moments in this rivalry. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch USA Mexico World Cup qualifying match scheduled for Thursday, March 24, at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.
The first time I heard it, I wasn’t quite sure what I was hearing. I attended the first USMNT-Mexico game after the 2002 World Cup meeting, a friendly in Houston, and kept hearing fans yelling “dos a cero.” I knew enough Spanish to translate the phrase, but I had no idea of the Dos a Cero meaning and history, let alone what it would turn into.
Little did I know back in 2003, but Dos a Cero would come to define the American perspective of the USA-Mexico men’s soccer rivalry for nearly two decades.
La actuación de la Selección Nacional de México Sub 20 en el Premundial Femenil de la Concacaf continúa coleccionando aplausos y alabanzas.
A la ya sabida clasificación al Mundial de Costa Rica 2022 y un subcampeonato que desafía el monopolio de Estados Unidos y Canadá, el Tri dirigido por Maribel Domínguez sumó la inclusión de tres de sus jugadoras en el equipo ideal de la competencia.
Con el boleto al Mundial de Costa Rica en el bolsillo, la Selección de México Femenil Sub 20 soñaba con dar la sorpresa y batir a Estados Unidos en la final del premundial de la Concacaf.
El deseo, sin embargo, duró apenas dos minutos con ocho segundos. Un error tremendo en la salida de la arquera Celeste Espino fue aprovechado por Michelle Cooper, la goleadora y mejor jugadora del torneo, para darle ventaja de camerino al USWNT.
The U.S. Soccer Federation has received assurances from Mexican Football Federation officials that players and fans will be safe during a World Cup qualifier between the teams in Mexico City this month after violent clashes marred a Mexican league game.
