Brazil vs. Mexico: Why Fans Should Be Interested in International Friendly

When Mexico and Brazil face off at Cowboys Stadium in their international friendly on Sunday, there will be plenty of reasons to watch.

For one thing, some of the best players in the game will be taking the field. Even though the outcome won't necessarily hurt either team, it will be a good measuring stick prior to the Olympics.

It's always worth watching two of the best in the sport battle it out, even with little more than bragging rights on the line. 

Here are the top three reasons why you should take note of the matchup.

Will Mexico Be Able to Carry Over Momentum from Wales?

After Mexico's 2-0 win over Wales on May 27, it will be interesting to see how it responds. Granted, Mexico has another matchup against Bosnia-Herzegovina on May 31 before it even has to start thinking about Brazil. However, knocking off two powerhouses in three matches would be huge.

Wales was without Gareth Bale and Joe Ledley against Mexico and looked hopeless against Giovani Dos Santos, Edgar Andrade and Severo Meza. We'll see if Mexico can pull off another stunning victory against Brazil.

The Opportunity to See Chicharito Dominate

If there's one player worth watching on Mexico, it's Javier Hernandez, who was missing in action against Wales because he was taking time off after the end of Manchester United's season. His absence obviously didn't interfere with Mexico's ability to seal up a win, but he doubtlessly would've made its attack even more formidable.

If he's back in time for Mexico's bout against Brazil, that could be the recipe for success as Mexico aims to assert itself against another top dog. He's expected to return for Wednesday's matchup, so he should definitely be back for the Sunday showdown against Brazil.

Brazil's Talent is Always Worth Watching

When watching soccer, you can't go wrong with Brazil. 

The country has won the World Cup five times and will use this matchup against Mexico to gauge how far it still has to go prior to the Olympics.
