Team USA vs. Mexico

The United States soccer team goes for its first ever win at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City today, a place where the U.S. has never won a game. In fact, they've only come close once with an all time record of 0-22-1 in Mexico City.

This is a different team, though, that has gone into that stadium in the past. This is the team that beat the #1 ranked team in the world, Spain, just a few months ago and nearly beat another top team in Brazil to win the FIFA Confederations Cup.

Those two games gave Team USA a world of confidence that I believe will carry over to not only today's game, but to the 2010 World Cup as well. I look for the USA's big guns, Landon Donovan, Jozy Altidore, Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard to come through and simultaneously shut up 100,000 screaming Mexican fans.

I look for the U.S. to also avenge their most recent loss to Mexico on home soil where they were slaughtered 5-0. But that was a different USA team and only a few players will be in uniform from that team.

Can't wait to see the United States finally take it to the Mexican team and get another monkey off of their backs as they continue their run to the 2010 World Cup.
