Mexico-Argentina
The match between Mexico and Argentina will be on Tuesday night (live from Los Angeles) on Telemundo Channel 47 at 10:30 PM.
This stands to be a terrific game. Be there! The Argentines are not to be taken lightly. They're all from the Argentine League and if you watch those games than these guys are a lot of familiar faces. River and Boca are heavily repesented. No one from the European teams is on the squad. This team will be far from a walk-over for the U.S. on Saturday.
As far as Mexico is concerned, their new coach is the Argentine Ricardo Lavolpe and this is a chance to see if he can wake the Mexicans up and have them start to adapt to other teams successfully. The U.S. takes them on April 29 in Houston. As of right now, Telemundo will definately be showing that match. I don't know which English-language station may be showing it at this time.
For those wondering what this has to do with the Metros, think Clint Mathis and Tim Howard.

I agree. I'd rather play a brooding Argentina with perhaps other things on their mind than one fresh off a loss that doesn't want to come home from a 3 match friendly tour with a losing record.

Mexican defenders look real shaky when pressured by Argentine forwards & midfielders. I see a goal coming off a steal.

Mexico cannot successfully clear a ball from their own end. Their finishing is suspect too, many chances could have been put away or at least done better with. Mexico has controlled most of the play, but the defense is just to shaky in clearing, backpasses and set pieces it's killing them. This match is a foul festival as well..many players could have been thrown out by now, many challenges from behind, wreckless cleats up challenges..extremely fast paced as well. Argentina had one goal called back for a push in the back int he box or else it would be 2-0, they also blew a point blank header. An exciting game though I must say, great crowd energy.

Oswaldo Sanchez has looked very shaky in goal as well. The relentless pressure by the Argentine forwards could spell trouble for the inexperienced US backline on Saturday.
