USA vs Mexico Preview

Who: United States vs. Mexico
What: CONCACAF World Cup 2010 Qualifying
When: Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2009, 3 p.m. EST
Where: Estadio Azteca; Mexico City, Mexico
TV: Telemundo and Mun2

It's a match that's been highly anticipated since the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying draw came out last November: United States Men's National Team against Mexico in the lofty heights of Estadio Azteca. El Tri's resounding 5-0 thumping of the Americans in late July's Gold Cup final only served to raise the stakes a bit higher.

Unlike in Giants Stadium, however, both coaches will bring their best line ups to the vital qualifier. For Bob Bradley, that means almost an entirely new squad -- certainly a completely different Starting XI -- while Javier Aguirre 's will likely feature some familiar faces, most notably Giovanni Dos Santos, who proved unstoppable in July, and Carlos Vela, who dramatically altered the match after coming on in the 46th minute. To Azteca!
