Sunday will mark the latest chapter in the United States and Mexico rivalry as the pair meet in Houston's NRG Stadium to determine the winner of the 2025 Gold Cup. Despite having less than ideal preparations -- they both lost emphatically to Switzerland, with the U.S. being defeated by Turkey and El Tri beating them 1-0 -- the pair have navigated through through this Concacaf competition.
The U.S. gained momentum as the tournament went on with a 5-0 win over Trinidad & Tobago, a 1-0 success over Saudi Arabia and a 2-1 victory over Haiti.
