Call me crazy, but I'm probably looking forward to this friendly more than I was the US/Italy friendly. There is going to be some young talent on that field tonight...a lot of names that people have been clamoring for on the full national team.

Always love to see us beat Mexico. And I actually recognize most of our players!
Gyau's got some speed.
Can anyone post mexicos line up?
Can't seem to find it. I only know the US lineup because it was posted on twitter.

US dominating possession but no clear chances. Mexico seems to be playing for the counter. No, I didn't get that backwards.
Mexico gets some possession and conjures a good shot on the half volley which Hamid does well with...though I think he made it look tougher than it was.
Wait til you guys see Aquino :-)
Wish Mexico would ditch the black unis
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL! ESTADOS UNIDOS! AGUDELO
Nice header by agudelo 1-0 usa
Neymar, I mean Agudelo, with the headed goal off a corner. 1-0.
Dos a cero.
GOOOOOOOLLL! ADU!
So strange to see adu on the u23 team. Seems like he should be about 33
That should be Mix on the deflection on that goal.
He's been a pro soccer player for 8 years and he's playing on a U-23 team.
This USA team is pretty damn good. Really like Gyau.
Yea, Gyau has great ball skills. Looks completely calm with 2-3 defenders harassing him,
Or alternatively Mexico looks really ****ty...
Should have been 3. Mexico goalie redeems himself a bit with a nice save on the 2nd US attempt.
US players looks like he is gonna go in cleats up, then pulls his leg back. Unfortunately for the Mexican, he is already in the act of diving.
Whats possession in this, 70-30? Mexico gonna have to play bunker-counter-uglyball. Sad.
Yeah, I don't know what the story is but you at least expect Mexico to control the ball and have at least half of the possession when they play any US team.
It's finally here. An fast, skilled, and relentless USA squad. Add Shea too.
I would assume that Chandler, Altidore, Shea, Williams are also olympic eligible... Thats a pretty nice potential squad, assuming this group doesnt choke.
Speaking of that... why does the Olympic qualifying format suck so bad?
Win your group but lose the semi final, and you're out. Only the finalists advance?
Why not play a final group stage to get the true top two?

SHOOT CORONA!
Probably because that would all but guarantee USA and Mexico slots. This allows some caribbean/central american nation a lucky shot at qualification.
I'm feeling better and better about qualifying. Mexico is nowhere near as good as we are.
This can't be Mexico's A u-23 team right?
I feel like there has to be some sort of explanation.
