The USMNT & Mexico Are Really Down Bad
In this episode of DeadBall TV, we discuss the recent friendlies involving the Mexican national team and the USMNT against Colombia and Saudi Arabia. Neither game had a final result that flattered CONCACAF, a region which overall had an embarrassing showing during this international window.
Which team is in a worst position right now: Mexico or the US? Should the expectations for both of these teams still be to get out of the group stage? And should either Mexico or the USMNT consider a last-second managerial change?
We break down all that and more in this episode. Be sure to give the podcast a 5-star rating and comment your thoughts down below!
