Watched that one on about a 20 minute delay.
Moon man was awesome in that first 15 minutes. This goal in particular was FILTHY:

If you don’t play, that shot was perfectly aimed and with maximum power. That’s really hard to do. That keeper had zero chance of saving a shot like that. Just nasty.
Damn good thing though because we were crap the rest of the match. Guatemala controlled the entire game after going down 2-0. We were lucky to win.

So, it’s Mexico yet again. Can this version of the US midfield handle Mexico?
Mexico hasnt exactly looked dominant either. Not sure what will happen but I don’t think this is a particularly talented side vs what they typically have.
Is Mexico playing its regular starting players, or did their starters decide to take the summer off as well?
The fact is that the USMNT is without the overwhelming majority of its best players that compete in European leagues. It’s very likely that the bulk of the USMNT’s starting lineup come the 2026 World Cup will be made up of players that won’t play a single minute in Sundays final.
On the other hand, Aguirre will have the vast majority of the players that will make up El Tri’s World Cup roster available to play at NRG Stadium. Mexico simply cannot lose to the USMNT’s B side, constructed of mostly MLS players, or else critics will be extremely loud.

It’s just not the best Mexico team, though they apparently have a rising 16 yr old star who will be a pain in the future.
