The USMNT has the top scorer in the rivalry with Landon Donovan's six goals leading the way. Donovan found the back of the net during the USMNT's memorable 2-0 victory over Mexico at the 2002 World Cup and would be a consistent thorn in El Tri's side during their matchups.

GK: Matt Freese — The New York City FC goalkeeper has made a name for himself during the Gold Cup. Despite keeping only two clean sheets so far, he's been instrumental to the USMNT's run to the final, saving three penalties in the quarterfinals. Pochettino might've found his new starting goalkeeper.
