USMNT vs. Mexico: How to Watch, Live Stream, TV Listings, Starting XIs, and More

They say friendly results don't mean anything, but that's never really true when the U.S. Men's National Team takes on Mexico.

El Tri are set to make the short trip up to San Antonio to take on a young, largely domestic-based USMNT team that has struggled since last years' World Cup. The Yanks have just two wins in the nine matches since then, though it's been a period marked by experimentation from Coach Jurgen Klinsmann. We've seen a 3-5-2 formation, Brek Shea moved to left back, and youngsters like Jordan Morris, Miguel Ibarra, and Gyasi Zardes being brought into the fold.

Mexico, on the other hand, has only lost once since the World Cup, and generally looks to be in excellent form. In 2015 so far, they have two 1-0 wins over Ecuador and Paraguay, respectively.

Because this is not an official FIFA date, clubs are not required to release their top players. This affects both sides though, as both countries were only really able to select players on North American clubs.

"If you look at the roster, there is no Brad Guzan nor Fabian Johnson, no Jozy Altidore, no Alejandro Bedoya no Clint Dempsey. Mexico is in a similar situation," Coach Klinsmann said. "When these players, like Dempsey and Altidore now, are not there, that's the moment for other players to use that space and show what you have."

As Klinsmann mentioned, Mexico will also be without a number of notable players, including Giovani Dos Santos, Chicharito, and keeper Guillermo Ochoa. One player MLS fans will certainly want to keep an eye on is forward Erick "Cubo" Torres, who will  be joining the Houston Dynamo in July.

For Orlando City fans, Brek Shea will be expected to start at left back, and will have another chance to continue to grow as a fullback against the highest level of competition. From our Eastern Conference rivals, New York City FC's Mix Diskerud is likely to start as well. New England's Juan Agudelo and Lee Ngyuen, along with D.C. United's Perry Kitchen and Bill Hamid, could also see some time.

Match Thread Rules:

This is your live thread for posting comments on the match. So use our comments section below to talk about the game in real time with other supporters. If you're new, welcome to our happy home! While you're here, please observe a few basic rules:

• Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They can get us in trouble, and no one wants that.
• Try not to be "that guy" who spews nothing but venom and hate for the team. It's ok to be critical, and, let's face it, sometimes even the best teams can be frustrating to watch, but being overly negative relentlessly can sap the enjoyment for others.
• Keep it somewhat clean and fair when criticizing players / officials. You never know who might be reading.
• Do unto others in the match thread, the way you would have others do unto you. We are a fun community and want to keep it this way. We have a moderator, but we'd rather let him enjoy the game instead of having to play babysitter.
• Finally, we don't have a rule against profanity but don't abuse the non-rule. Also, any language that is sexist, racist, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you may lose posting privileges. We're all in this together.
