Chicago, IL (My Sportsbook) - The U.S. men's national team will host Mexico on Feb. 6, their second match scheduled for early next year before qualifying for the World Cup starts in June. "Mexico is always a challenging opponent, and we all know this is a game that motivates everyone involved," U.S. coach Bob Bradley said. The U.S. is 8-0-1 at home against Mexico since 2000. During that stretch, the U.S. has scored 15 goals and allowed just one. In six friendlies on U.S. soil since 2000, Mexico hasn't scored. The U.S. is also scheduled to play Sweden on Jan. 19. "The first half of 2008 is very important to our team as we prepare for the beginning of World Cup qualifying in June ...," Bradley said. The preliminary draw for 2010 World Cup qualifying is Nov. 25 in South Africa, which is hosting the tournament. |
