Who's playing? The Mexican team returns to the pitch surrounded by controversy, especially since it's the first time playing in their home soil since that 7-0 blowout against Chile.

What time? Tuesday, September 6, at 19:00 PDT/ 21:00 CDT/ 22:00 EDT.

After Friday's win against Canada, Honduras' manager Jorge Luis Pinto criticized the region's referees, and even requested that ref Mark Geiger didn't officiate the game, since he's had questionable performances in games where Mexico was involved. Days later, FIFA denied their request, but a complaint was filed to remove the ref.
