USA vs Mexico 2011: Live Blog and Analysis of Men's Soccer Friendly

The United States and Mexico are rekindling their soaring rivalry this Wednesday August 10 at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The match will start at 9 p.m.

The last time USA visited this stadium was for their 2010 World Cup send-off match, which resulted in a 2-1 victory over Turkey in front of 55,000-plus.

This friendly match falls on a FIFA international fixture date, meaning most of the teams’ top performers will receive call-ups.

Nonetheless this is a very important match because it will come just 12 days after Team USA officially named as their new coach, the charismatic and endearing German Jurgen Klinsmann.

While is probable that the 11 starters for this match won’t be the same for the World Cup in Brazil 2014, it will certainly be a taste of things to come for Team USA under their new coach.

Be sure to check-in often for the latest news and updates gearing up to this friendly match, and then again tomorrow night for live updates during the match.
