Both teams have been on a roller coaster ride in the buildup to this game. The Americans had a disappointing finish to Copa America and were in some hot water in their qualifying group, but finished the last round strong to make the Hex comfortably. El Tri were embarrassed at Copa America and disappointed fans with a poor 0-0 draw against Honduras afterwards, but have won their last two friendly matches away from home. No matter what happens, if this game ends with a winner, the losing coach will be in some hot water with fans and their federation.
