When the USMNT and Mexico met on Nov. 12 at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, it marked the 73rd clash between the two giants of the CONCACAF region. On Mar. 24 we’ll do it all again, adding another monumental World Cup qualifying chapter to a rivalry that really doesn’t need any pretense to get the blood boiling.
La derrota ante Estados Unidos en las eliminatorias 2022 dejó un intoxicante y amargo sabor de boca entre los aficionados de México. No solo porque es la tercera derrota consecutiva ante el USMNT, sino que también por todas las preguntas de identidad que deja flotando. Desde si es Gerardo Martino el hombre correcto para liderar al Tri hasta si la famosa distancia entre ambos seleccionados desapareció completamente. De todas, sin embargo, una de las más interesantes -bajo mi perspectiva- tiene que ver con la narrativa de la selección mexicana a la hora de enfrentar a su vecino del norte.
The history of Dos a Cero had a beautiful addition to the lore Friday night as the USMNT defeated Mexico 2-0 Friday night at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. The same American stars that put Mexico to the sword five months prior in the Concacaf Nations League returned to finish what they started five months ago.
Entre una lesión que sufrió en los Juegos Olímpicos y la poca continuidad en el Real Betis, Diego Lainez ha tenido una temporada más bien discreta. Reflejo de todo esto es que el extremo no fue convocado por Gerardo Martino para el partido que enfrentará a México con Estados Unidos por las eliminatorias rumbo a Catar 2022.
When the USMNT welcomes Mexico to TQL Stadium in Cincinnati on Friday night, the Stars and Stripes will boast the emotional and mental edge of having defeated El Tri in their last two meetings — both finals, no less.
But it’s Mexico that holds a three-point advantage over the U.S. at the top of the Octagonal as we hit the halfway point of qualifying, and Tata Martino can rely on a first-choice attack that Gregg Berhalter’s men didn’t see over the summer.
Forward Christian Pulisic headlines the 25-man roster announced Thursday for the United States Men's National Team's upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Players will begin reporting to camp in Cincinnati this Sunday. The USMNT will face Mexico at Cincinnati's TQL Stadium on Nov. 12 before traveling to face Jamaica in Kingston on Nov. 16.
The U.S. (3-1-2, 11 points) is currently in second place behind Mexico (4-0-2, 14 points) in the CONCACAF qualifying table for the Qatar World Cup. Canada (2-0-4, 10 points) is third.
LONDON - A comfortable win at troubled Tottenham Hotspur and then a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired escape from defeat at the hands of Atalanta have taken some of the heat off under-pressure Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
But a more severe test of his side's health will come this Saturday when they host Premier League champions Manchester City in the derby — a game fraught with danger for a United side that has been wildly unpredictable this season.
The soccer rivalry between Mexico and the United States is one of the fiercest and most entertaining in the world. As a USMNT supporter, I consider myself lucky to call Mexico a neighbor. If Mexico didn’t play in Concacaf, the region would be incredibly dull.
All soccer fans in North America look forward to when El Tri and the Stars and Stripes meet, whether it’s a friendly, Gold Cup match or World Cup qualifier. The atmosphere at these games is one of the best in the world, but sometimes supporters get a little out of control.
¿Puedes imaginar un escenario en que tu única chance como jugador de ser campeón de un torneo sea que tu equipo pierda y que además tú no puedas jugar ese partido?
¿Difícil de comprender? ¿Raro? Pues, bienvenido a la Concacaf y el paradójico caso de Miguel Layún.
