El Tri has returned to the Gold Cup finals for the second time in two consecutive years, toppling Honduras 2-0 in extra time. With the USA winning on Wednesday, soccer fans will get a spectacular matchup Saturday at the Rose Bowl.
The United States is on a hot streak since the 2-1 loss to Panama on June 11. In all matches following this upset, the Americans have shut out its last three opponents. They will need to keep the momentum flowing as the USA will matchup against an almost unstoppable Mexico squad.
By now the world knows Mexico's abilities and many of El Tri's star players, as the same goes for the USA. Chicharito vs. Donovan, dos Santos vs. Dempsey, these are the players fans will be watching to see how each performs Saturday night. The ratings for this match should be through the roof and I would assume by the time you are reading this post, the Rose Bowl has already been sold out. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00pm in Pasadena, California.
Honduras gave Mexico all it could handle, but does the USA have what it takes to hang with El Tri?
