What They're Saying
USA goalkeeper William Yarbrough (via US Soccer): "I don't know what it's going to feel like [playing against Mexico]. When you grow up in an American home, my parents would always watch the US national team. But of course, whenever Mexico played, it was shown everywhere. I grew up watching both teams, and when the US or Mexico played, I'd want them both to win. When they played each other, I never really had an incline towards a national team. It's a question a lot of people would ask me. I was born and raised in Mexico, but I knew where my family comes from. I was sort of stuck in between."
Mexico head coach Miguel Herrera (via Goal): "Bringing these young players isn't just to see them and leave the match. We're going forward with every intention of winning it and knowing you don't lose these rivalry matches. It has become a rivalry everybody wants to win. We've talked with the guys we've brought in now, and I see a great attitude in all of them."
