What's the situation of Venezuela's FA in the midst of the constitutional crisis they're having down there? Doesn't seem like the national soccer team would be one of their priorities.
I imagine the Venezuelan FA is is desperate need of money (specifically, dollars) which a friendly against Mexico in the US will provide. If anybody from the team requests asylum that will cause a giant political cluster********, though.

FIFA has the International Transfer Matching System (ITMS) for players. I guess there needs to way of making sure all friendlies are reported. Not only do two score and result sites not have it listed, FIFA doesn't have it. Imagine if a team could lose a friendly and prevent FIFA from finding out the game happened so it wouldn't hurt their FIFA Ranking.
