Story summary

The US men's national team (USMNT) faces off against Mexico in an international friendly match on Saturday, October 3rd at 10pm ET from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. In the US, viewers can watch the game on FS2 or stream it via Fubo, while Canadian viewers have access only through Fubo. This match follows recent victories over Chile and Peru where US coach Mauricio Pochettino tested younger players like Cavan Sullivan, Mathis Albert, and Julian Hall. However, this upcoming clash with Mexico will be a tougher test for these rising stars, as the rivalry between the two nations is intense even in friendly matches. Mexico also has its own young talent in Gilberto Mora, who at 17 years old is seen as a future key player for El Tri.
