- United States-Mexico. 8pm ET. Get there. Or to a television.
- The 10 Best Moments in the rivalry? We've got them for you, with video.
- El Tri already has a starting XI:
Mexico XI (judging by training): Saucedo, Mier, Rodriguez, Salcedo, Flores, Velarde, Osuna, Montes, Esquivel, E Herrera, Cubo Torres.
— ESPN Tri (@ESPNFCtri) April 14, 2015 - Ventura Alvarado is ready: "I'm really motivated. I [was speaking earlier about it], and I was really emotional. I feel like it's Club America against Chivas. It's a Clasico, and that's how I feel. We've got to beat them."
- Brooke Tunstall is in San Antonio and wrote a thoughtful profile on the now-thoughtful Juan Agudelo.
- But is the grass ready?

The U.S. Women's World Cup roster is out, and John D. Halloran is all over it.
- That is remarkable:
Average number of caps on #USWNT WWC roster is 101, even with 3 players who have single-digit caps. My goodness.
— Paul Carr (@PCarrESPN) April 14, 2015 - "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.":
Klinsmann says he wishes DaMarcus Beasley was still with the #usmnt, and that he really enjoyed working with DMB.
