Ahead of World Cup qualifying in the fall, the United States national team faces a big test on Sunday night in the final of the Nations League. The opponent, Mexico, will be a substantially deeper and more talented than the Honduras side the Americans beat 1-0 in the semifinal.

For the United States national team, this Nations League meeting means little in light of World Cup qualifying and the overarching need to book a ticket for next winter’s tournament.
