The U.S. men's national team meets rival Mexico for the first time in more than a year when the two CONCACAF powers meet at Estadio Azteca later tonight (8 p.m., ESPN2/ESPN3.com/Univision).
The U.S. men have enjoyed some of their finer moments in their history at Mexico's expense, but the recent meetings against El Tri have gone the way of Mexico, whose golden generation has captured a FIFA U-17 World Cup, third place in a U-20 World Cup, a CONCACAF Gold Cup and an Olympic gold medal all since the summer of 2011.
The United States is bringing a somewhat experimental squad to Azteca, with the likes of Clint Dempsey, Carlos Bocanegra, Jozy Altidore, Michael Bradley and Steven Cherundolo being left in Europe, meaning it is an opportunity for a number of U.S. players to try and leave their mark at the most difficult place to play in the CONCACAF region.
Regardless, it should be a rivalry game that U.S. fans will be eager to watch, whether it is at an official U.S. Soccer bar or at another local establishment to mark the latest meeting between the two heated rivals.
Where will you be watching tonight's match?

I invited a bunch of soccer-novice friends out to Trinity Hall in Dallas…now I’m really embarrassed and have a feeling I will be making half-hearted excuses all night. On the bright side, Trinity Hall has a great beer selection!

i have finally comes to terms with the fact that i go on this blog and leave negative comments about our chances against Mexico at Azteca only because it hurts less when we lose. i can look back at my low expectations an say, “well, i knew that would happen.”
no more! i am now predicting a USA-dominating performance, and it feels good. try it!

At work don’t need to see the Mexican A team with the help of altitude, pollution, heat, and enthusiasm for honoring the u23 gold medal beat down the US C team.
I watched two hours of ‘Dance Moms’ last night so I could claim the TV for tonight’s game. So on my couch with a six pack that could turn into a 12 pack if we win/lose. A draw just means I go to sleep.
probably on the far left of my couch. but i might do a bar.
