I have not mentally prepared myself for how much I hate playing CONCACAF competition and Mexico is just as bad if not worse than the rest of them

Paramount+ was running a free trial deal at one point recently. Not sure if that's still active. Update - yes, still offering a week free for new accounts.

Then there's sketchy pirated streams.

Occasional soccer watcher here. I see that almost all of Mexico's players play in the Liga MX. Are they just not good enough to play in Europe? If you were ranking the top 10 players in this game (or 5 to make it easier), what would that look like?

Guess we're playing a 3-4-3?

-----McKenzie--Brooks--Ream---
Yedlin--Acosta--McKennie--Dest

A bit worried with Dest and Ream on the same side.

My guess is we look to be playing the counter with Dest and Yedlin on the wings. Hopefully Pulisic brought along the Tuchel tactics book on how that works because Gregg probably didn't come up with it himself.

We need someone in this young core group to become a thorn in Mexico's side. Only two players I can remember in the last 20 years that you could really count on in this rivalry to show up were Donovan and Bradley.

Also somewhat surprised to discover that Dempsey never scored against Mexico.

I've never understood why they never seem to want to make the switch to Europe. Chicharito is the only one who really pulled it off in recent memory as a world star.

If I had to rank them on current talent/career, its hard to say that other than Chucky Lozano and maybe Jesus Corona, the USA currently leads in that department. Pulisic, Reyna, McKennie, Dest are all playing on the top teams and seeing tons of minutes.

Problem is Mexico for whatever reason recently has a massive mental edge over us not to mention they are much better organized/coached. Our young core really needs to figure it out and put them in their place.

Yeah, but we wanted Musah and Adams in. Instead we get Ream and Acosta and a more defensive set up

I like Gooch and Dempsey on this pre-game team

Agreed. Just former teammates talking ball, not taking themselves too seriously. It's a fun dynamic.

I'm concerned about getting overrun in the midfield with only Acosta and McKennie in there
PatAg

Is time to start the conspiracy that Greg isn't playing Musah because it woudl cap tie him, and he doesnt want to yet

Mostly joking

Watching these defensive not highlights, Dest has some wheels.

Why would we want to hear from a former Mexican Woman's national team player on this broadcast?

Because would rather pander to the audience than be pro American

Pandering to the audience IS being pro american?

C'mon we know 85% of the people watching the CBS broadcast are people of hispanic descent and regardless of how long their family has been in the United States, they're definitely supporting El Tri tonight
