The U.S men are heading into a World Cup qualifier against Mexico in Columbus, Ohio, and are the preeminent power in its region. Mexico was ruling the rest in CONCACAF (the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football), but the power has shifted from 2000.
Mexico has a 27-5-9 record against the United States with a difference in goal by plus 70. But since 2000, the United States is 9-2-2 in the series, outscoring Mexico 20-6.
The U.S. team is ahead of Mexico in the last round of World Cup qualifying in the 2002 World Cup and is 8-0-2 in its last 10 matches against the Mexicans in the States. Mexico had a grip in the final round of this year’s qualifying and was ahead of Jamaica on goal differential.
U.S. coach Bob Bradley acknowledged his team is now on the top in CONCACAF and said “We’re very proud of that accomplishment,” Bradley said in a conference.
Mexico midfielder Antonio Naelson said “There’s too much noise for a team that’s not true,”, “They might be the favorites in the game due to playing at home, but for me, Mexico is better as a team.”
