Today it is Mexico vs the USA in the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final 2009
After reaching the finals of the Confederations Cup in South Africa a few weeks Ago, the USA Soccer Team has risen in the esteem of many fans and new soccer supporters.
USA and Mexico reached the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final 2009 by defeating Honduras and Costa Rica respectively.
According to Sports YA,
Neither country sent its best team to the biennial event, with the United States fielding something of a JV squad with players unproven on the international scene. Those players, particularly Stuart Holden, Kyle Beckerman and Heath Pearce, have performed well on the regional stage after the big boys lost in the Confederations Cup final to Brazil earlier this summer.
Mexico is missing some key players, too, and it has been struggling in World Cup qualifying, sitting fourth behind leader Costa Rica, the Americans and Hondurans. Yet Mexico survived a difficult round-robin in the Gold Cup, beat Costa Rica on penalty kicks in the semifinal, and has every reason to believe it can walk off with the trophy for the fifth time in its sixth trip to the finals.
