39'

Not many players like Pulisic in the world. The best footballer at the Soldier Field tonight. 
8:51 PM2 years ago
This was the play that made Gerardo Martino go off on the bench. Everyone from the Mexican squad that didn't start is warming up on the sidelines. 
8:48 PM2 years ago

32'

Aside from that good play from Pizarro, Mexico hasn't created chances at all.

16'

Good play by Pizarro who sends a cross to Guardado but the midfielder isn't able to get a good touch on it.

Far from their best level Rodriguez. Had a good tournament in Mexico last semester but hasn't been able to find his game. 
8:28 PM2 years ago

13'

Mexico seems to struggle in the midfield.
8:27 PM2 years ago

8:21 PM2 years ago

5'

Incredible run by Pulisic but Ochoa makes a good save and keeps the match tied at zeros.

Martino thinks this about USA's coch

"First, I have a great respect for Gregg Berhalter, the person and for the coach. I think he is one of the best coaches that I have faced in MLS and obviously the football that he practices needs time and is what he had in friendly matches, I think that that tuning and that knowledge of what the coach wants, on the part of its players, it begins to be seen now in the Gold Cup with the matches that have already passed and even with the passage of time they are still going to do it better, it is not easy the way that Gregg proposes that his teams play that only in a handful of matches can be seen in its full dimension."
5:18 PM2 years ago
What does it mean to play for Mexico? El Tri stars answer that question in this great video.
4:53 PM2 years ago
"It's an even final, with possibilities for both sides, I imagine a game of much more shared protagonism. America proposes a football of attack, of tenure, of protagonism and undoubtedly we're going to have to face a different game from those we've played so far."
4:52 PM2 years ago

Martino speaks

Prior to the practice, Gerardo Martino spoke at a press conference, where he addressed topics such as tomorrow's game vs USMNT and what will happen with the team he leads.

3:52 AM2 years ago

Factor Tata

Gerardo Martino, the new coach of el Tri, will want to continue with his unbeaten streak, assuring that Mexico is on the right track, because they are in the final for a reason, so it is planned to play the same offensive way to previous games.
3:51 AM2 years ago

Player to watch: USA

Chelsea's Christian Pulisic, who has become one of the young promises for the US national team, will need to provide his starting eleven with an additional spark that can lead them to the title. USMNT are also in a period of adaptation to their new coach.
3:50 AM2 years ago

Guillermo Ochoa, a fundamental piece for the Mexicans to reach this stage. From the beginning of the tournament to having saved the decisive penalty in the quarterfinals vs Costa Rica.
