New head coach Mauricio Pochettino got a good taste of American soccer with a 2-0 debut win versus Panama on Saturday. But now it's time for the first real test.
The U.S. men's national team will take on Mexico, its fiercest rivals, to close out the October international break.
Though the stakes aren't as high since the game is just an international friendly, it'll provide an opportunity for Pochettino to get a result against one of the region's historically top nations, despite Mexico being out of form for a while.
And it'll be tough for Pochettino to do so as several key players were ruled out following the Panama game. Christian Pulisic, Ricardo Pepi, Weston McKennie, Zack Steffen and Marlon Fossey are out of the equation for this clash.
