Game. Day.

Many in Mexico feel confident…

I’m counting down the hours until tomorrow’s WCQ against Mexico. I feel like there is more attention from people for this game than any other WCQ a US team has ever played in. Things don’t usually go well down at Azteca, but there seems to be real sense of belief that that the US team can achieve something this time around. That sort of belief is a powerful weapon…

I’ve been thinking about great moments in the US v Mexico rivalry, and I found some images that made me smile. Hope they do the same for you and get you all even more pumped for tomorrow’s game.
