• Seven players on the U.S. roster for tomorrow’s friendly in San Antonio have ties to Mexico, making the rivalry game a bit more complex than usual. Though El Tri has mass support in the States, Omar Gonzalez is optimistic that seeing people with a shared experience will lead to more Mexican-Americans rooting for the U.S. over their parental homeland.

"We’re all Mexican-Americans who, our parents are from Mexico but we’re born here in the U.S. And we now play for the U.S. national team and the more generations that are born here they’ll start rooting for the U.S.

“They’ll still have their roots. I’m sure when the U.S. plays Mexico it’s tough to pick a team but when they’re not playing each other I’m sure they’re rooting for each team.”
