Ya está. A los libros va otro partido en que México no pudo ganarle a Estados Unidos. El quinto consecutivo.  

Sí, el Tri estuvo cerca, a un pelo. Sin embargo, los casi no valen en el fútbol. No alcanzan. 

If you only tuned into the last 10 minutes of the United States men’s national team's 1-1 draw vs. Mexico on Wednesday in the Continental Clásico friendly, then you saved yourself 80 minutes of suffering.

The USMNT made it five games in-a-row without a defeat to their archrivals thanks to a Jesús Ferreira equalizer in the 81st minute. 

Before I tell you about how awful the rest of the game was, let’s enjoy the big highlight of the game.

México no puede con Estados Unidos. Ni en la Nations League, ni en la Copa Oro, ni en Eliminatorias ni en los amistosos moleros.

El Tri empató con el USMNT en Glendale, Arizona, y extendió a cinco el número de partidos en que no puede vencer a su más enconado rival. La última vez que lo hizo fue el 6 de septiembre de 2019, en tiempos donde la humanidad ni siquiera sabía de la existencia del COVID.

Qué tiempos aquellos.

Se acabó el cabeceo con la pizarra. Diego Cocca tendría definida la alineación de México para su amistoso contra Estados Unidos, a jugarse este miércoles 19 de abril en Glendale, Arizona.

Etiquetado como "Clásico Continental", el partido es el primero de Cocca al mando del Tri y el primero de al menos dos que jugarán ambas selecciones este 2023.

For the 11th time in 13 seasons (mercy me), Real Madrid are through to the Champions League semifinals after Rodrygo's second-half brace at Stamford Bridge put the finishing touches on a commanding 4-0 aggregate victory over Chelsea.

The spicy rivalry between the USMNT and México is having a remarkable round in the 2022-23 Eredivisie as strikers Ricardo Pepi and Santiago Giménez battle neck and neck among the division's top scorers. After 29 games, both have netted 11 goals and are just three behind Xavi Simmons (PSV) and Anastasios Douvikas (FC Utrecht), who currently lead the race with 14 each.

Although the realities of their teams are extremely different, Pepi and Giménez are not giving space to each other with both finding the net again this weekend.

The USMNT already know the path to defend their Gold Cup title.

In a ceremony hosted in So-Fi Stadium, California, Concacaf completed the group-stage draw for the 2023 edition of the tournament.

What's ahead for the U.S.? Matches against Jamaica, Nicaragua and a third opponent to be determined from a series of games involving Curaçao, St. Kitts & Nevis, French Guiana and Sint Maarten. More on that below.
