A Love Hate Rivalry Between Mexico and the USA



I doubt it, especially when the USMNT and Mexico’s National Team face each other in soccer as many considered it as an all-around hateful and bitter rivalry!

Still with Mexico having an edge over the USMNT with 35 wins 14 draws and 21 lost, but with no wins lately, especially in its last six matches with three draws and three losses.

This time El Tri as many know the Mexican National squad is really looking to break that odd skid against its bitter rival and this time win it with style by netting a pass to the Confederation’s Cup as the sole CONCACAF representative.

With TEAM USA winning this Federation tournament called the Gold Cup in 2013 and Mexico’s recently doing this feat this 2015, the ball is in each others court and seeing who will be in this edition its overall winner and net those generous bragging rights. 

As many call it in Spanish La Guerra or the war and although the match will be held in Pasadena’s Rose Bowl and its majestic record setting attendance’s that are 3-1 advantage always and advantage  for Mexico’s fans over the ones in this venue.

The tale of the tape will indeed be even but in the field those 22 lads will fight for their country and the glories yet to come with all its honor as well the hoopla of beating one tough client as both squad’s no longer hold an edge over each other.

Despite the US Boys advantages lately, still this can be anyone’s match and with a certain fury El Tri and its temporary Manager Tuca Ferreti’s wisdom can be a the difference as well injecting the ambition to his lads, this can be seen as an interesting encounter.

On the other hand US Manager Jurgen Klinsmann will have his hands full, seen as a total challenge once again and to prove his willingness to continue ahead of the Stars and Stripes helm.

 Netting a spot in Confederations Cup will a total achievement for any of these two as well getting a leg up in advantage when the time comes for the World Cup qualifiers very well play against the best of Africa, Europe, South America, Asia and Oceania.

So at the end that will get the coveted last pass or ticket for Russia 2017 as the proud representative of CONCACAF and play gains the best of all the continents, will be one worthy representative that will elevate the name of this federation high.

The rivalry and the heat of this contest will continue indeed in another time and place but for now the war is on and there’s room for one squad, who will it be Mexico or USA?

This upcoming October 10th is the date and Pasadena Rose Bowls the sit that will determine the winner and the hegemony that lately the USMNT has over Mexico or El Tri get back in the winning columns.

One way to find out ladies and gentleman a very heated match and with a lot in stake for both squad’s, good luck and may the good spirit of competition thrive and we may have worthy winner and representative.

USA, USA, USA! Or Mexico, Mexico, Mexico!
