After confidently dispatching the United States, the Canadian men's team now sets it sights on Mexico when the two sides clash in an international friendly on Tuesday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas (9:00 p.m. ET/OneSoccer).
While Canada made a big splash at this summer's Copa América, Mexico suffered an embarrassing first-round exit and fired coach Jaime Lozano. El Tri is now trying to regroup under new bench boss Javier Aguirre (his third stint as coach) after years of spinning its wheels.
