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.
El 2021 será un año que los aficionados de México querrán sepultar en el centro de la Tierra y nunca volver a desenterrar. Sí, se ganaron varios partidos e incluso se consiguió una medalla de bronce en los Juegos Olímpicos. Sin embargo, a nivel adulto y ante Estados Unidos, el rival que importa, todo fue una pesadilla. Caída en la final de la Nations League, derrota en la final de la Copa Oro y ahora un tropezón enorme en las Eliminatorias rumbo a Catar 2022. Más encima con el peor resultado de todos: ¡Dos a cero!
Tres partidos consecutivos que no podrán olvidarse fácilmente.
The USMNT had an iconic 2-0 victory against Mexico Friday night with Christian Pulisic scoring the game’s opening goal. During Captain America’s celebration he revealed a message written on his undershirt that had fans asking: “What did Pulisic’s shirt say?”
Pulisic pulled out one of the most badass undershirt reveals since Mario Balotelli’s “Why always me?” shirt.
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.
The USMNT is preparing to host Mexico in a crucial World Cup qualifying game at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, Friday night. The weather calls for cool temperatures in the 40s with a slight chance of rain. This is far from the coldest USA Mexico game ever played.
Mexico has routinely made trips to Columbus, Ohio, in the months of February and November. The weather has never been outrageously cold or wild like the Snow Clasico against Costa Rica in 2013. There was one game against El Tri that does stand out though.
Una de las historias centrales del próximo partido entre Estados Unidos y México por las eliminatorias rumbo a Catar 2022 (viernes 12 de noviembre, 9:00 p.m. ET) es Ricardo Pepi. El delantero de familia mexicana optó hace un par de meses defender el jersey del USMNT y en esta jornada internacional enfrentará al Tri por primera vez en su carrera.
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.
Kansas legend and former USMNT center back Matt Besler announced his retirement on Wednesday. Besler made a club-record 348 appearances for Sporting KC, but we’ll always remember him for one night in Manaus. And one Instagram post, but we’ll get to that later.
Besler recorded 47 caps for the USMNT, including four starts at the 2014 World Cup. He made his retirement plans official with a tweet on Wednesday morning.
