USA vs. Mexico

This installment of the USA-Mexico rivalry takes on a unique twist as it’s possible that the two countries may meet at the end of November in Women’s World Cup qualifying.
While the dates, venues and match-ups for the 2006 CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup, which will serve as the qualifying tournament for the 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup, have not yet been announced, the teams know that the tournament itself will be in the United States at the end of November.
The USA has a bye to the semifinals of the tournament, while Mexico won its pre-qualifying tournament in Mexico earlier this year to earn its place in the six-team Women’s Gold Cup. For now, the teams will focus on their primetime matchup on Wednesday, Sept. 13, in Rochester, N.Y.
The match will be broadcast live on ESPN2 beginning at 7:55 p.m. ET.
