U.S. vs Mexico

The U.S. plays its arch rival, Mexico, this Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. EST on ESPN2. This is a friendly, but there is no such thing as a low-key U.S.-Mexico game. Make sure to watch. The Goleros are playing our own game at that time so we're gonna Tivo it.

Keep your eye on Michael Bradley. Yes, he's the coach's son, but he's on fire in the Dutch league. He will probably get a difficult starting central midfield assignment in the game. He will also be a key figure in Olympic qualifying, for the Beijing Olympics this August.


Jozy Altidore and Freddy Adu are going to be important in this match. One or the other, or both, are likely to play in the game. They are very young and untested, but at some point, they've got to be introduced to Mexico. Better now than in World Cup qualifying. Here's our roster for the game:
The roster:

Goalkeepers: Brad Guzan (Chivas USA), Tim Howard (Everton, England)

Defenders: Carlos Bocanegra (Fulham, England), Ramiro Corrales (Brann,
Norway), Drew Moor (Dallas), Oguchi Onyewu (Standard Liege, Belgium), Michael
Parkhurst (New England), Heath Pearce (Hansa Rostock, Germany), Eddie Robinson
(Houston)

Midfielders: Freddy Adu (Benfica, Portugal), Michael Bradley
(Heerenveen, Netherlands), Ricardo Clark (Houston), Bobby Convey (Reading,
England), Brad Davis (Houston), Maurice Edu (Toronto), Benny Feilhaber (Derby,
England), Stuart Holden (Houston), Eddie Lewis (Derby, England)

Forwards: Jozy Altidore (New York), Clint Dempsey (Fulham, England),
Landon Donovan (Los Angeles), Pat Noonan (Aalesund, Norway)

  1. 2-2 tie in a very good game. The U.S. had a third goal called back on a good but still close offside call.
