USA vs. Mexico, 2023 Concacaf Nations League Semifinals: What we learned

Well, that was definitely a match.

The United States Men’s National Team played somewhere between “quite well” and “brilliantly” for most of the match. Christian Pulisic in particular stood out, generating a number of chances before bagging the opener towards the end of the second half. The second half started similarly, with Tim Weah busting open the Mexican defense with a good run before laying the ball off to Pulisic for a tap-in and establishing that familiar Dos a Cero.
From there, with Mexico facing a fifth straight disappointing tournament performance v. their arch rivals (the US has won 4/5, with the one draw happening in Mexico), the Mexican players essentially lost their minds.
