Mexico had mostly younger guys, but also had 5 players with 35+ caps (as compared to 0 for the US) The goalie who was subbed at halftime though was Guillermo Ochoa, who is very much in contention for the top spot.

But what about the rest of the Mexican team? Was this a Mexican B-side, like that fielded by Sweden and the USA in the last week? Or was this the Mexican A-side? (Minus the injured, of course.)

So i think it's still safe to say that it was a B team. John – im not sure of their exact lineup but the team was selected from the same group of players as the squad that played the US.
