A pair of old rivals face off once against as the United States and Mexico meet on Thursday in Las Vegas for the second semi-final of the 2022-23 Concacaf Nations League.
The teams are no strangers in high-profile matches, and they'll once again be expected to bring out the best in each other with a spot in the final on the line.
The Americans have named one of their strongest squads in years, with the addition of 21-year-old Reims striker Folarin Balogun seen as a much-needed upgrade in an attack that includes Timothy Weah, Christian Pulisic and Giovanni Reyna. The biggest question mark hanging over the U.S. in on the sidelines, as interim head coach B. J. Callaghan replaced fellow interim Anthony Hudson last month after Hudson's sudden departure from the program.
Meanwhile, the Mexicans are getting used to life under a new manager of their own as Argentine Diego Cocca took the reins from compatriot Tata Martino following last year's World Cup. Cocca already has five games under his belt as Mexico have been busy in 2023 with two Nations League group-stage matches and three friendlies — including a 1-1 draw in April against the Americans.
Cocca will now look to get his first victory against Mexico's northern neighbours.
