Who's playing? The USMNT will begin their quest to an eighth straight World Cup when they host Mexico on Friday. El Tri was one of the few unbeaten teams in the previous round of the Qualifiers, but coach Juan Carlos Osorio will want his men to get a win that adds credibility to his stint as Mexico's manager.
What time? Friday, November 11, at 16:45 PST/ 18:45 CST/ 19:45 EST/ 00:45 GMT/ 01:45 CEST
What stadium? Mapfre Stadium, located in the city of Columbus, Ohio. This multi-purpose venue can host up to 19,900 fans in its stands, and is usually hand-picked to play all of the USMNT's WC Qualifiers to avoid being outnumbered by fans from other National Teams in the region.

Team news
One of the big talking points prior to this game was the Presidential Election which resulted in Donald Trump's appointment as the 45th president of the United States. Since Mr. Trump is not a big fan of Mexican people, captain Michael Bradley admitted he wants his fans to show respect for the away team and their supporters.
Even the American Outlaws, one of the team's most famous support groups, issued tweets regarding that matter.
AO will always stand for inclusivity, where every one can feel welcome. We will stand passionately, positively for our National teams. (1/2)
