It is exploitation to demand that Mexico win over the United States

Written by Enrique Gomez

If we do a basic comparison, is the USA the better team?

Tradition says that Mexico is favored over the United States…but only tradition.

If we compare these two CONCACAF Nations League semi-finalists, all this pressure for El Tri to win the game might seem like abuse, after all, both the squad and recent head-to-heads suggest that the ‘rods and bolts’ superstars are better now.

For those who still think that the Mexican national team is stronger than the American national team, here is a simple comparison, with the main areas of competition between the two teams:

· Template value: El Tri fell (267 million euros compared to 157 million euros).

· FIFA classification: The United States (13th), advanced two places

· Last 10 live matches: 4 victories for the United States and 3 for Mexico

· Points in the Nations League: 10 for Northerners, 8 for Latinos

· Nations League titles: The USA won the first final against Trey

Mexico hasn’t won an official match against the United States since the 2019 Gold Cup, but as much as logic would lead us to believe that El Tri might lose this match, Diego Coca knows that a defeat here could forever tarnish his initial management with the Aztecs, despite As he himself said, Not to blame From the bad mood surrounding the team or from the disappointments it carries.

However, he inherited the team with all its trauma ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and now, in his sixth game as coach, he will have to face a game he must win if he does not want to open the World Cup. A wound that could easily have been fatal in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

El Tri should not feel like favorites against the USA and Cuca should not push what was done in the previous match, but that is the way things are and tonight’s match will be a before and after point.
