Re: CONCACAF World Cup 2018 Qualifying
The HEX starts Friday people. Prime your pans.
US vs Mexico in Columbus, Ohio ... 8:00-ish. Do it.
Notes ... Jordan Morris was a late scratch due to injury. Altidore is molten lava hot, Bobby Wood is arctic cold, no Wondo in sight, Stanko replaced Beckerman as the defensive mid on the bench and it looks like Howard in goal. Otherwise fairly similar to the way they ended the last set of qualifying games. Oh ... also note that Klinsmann's relationship with Darlington Nagbe has gone completely to hell. He won't be a part of this or any future US sides so long as Klinsmann is boss, which is patently ridiculous.
Mexico is Mexico ... and they brought their A lineup AND a team psychologist. Prolly a good call. If they'd get out of their own heads they're so much more talented than this US group that its not even funny. But their last result that mattered was that 7-0 drubbing in the Copa and that's still haunting them.
