Well, finally, a real test for Mexico. Mexico hasn't played against a decent squad since the Gold cup last year, so finally Mexico gets a chance to test their good players.

This Wednesday, Mexico faces the United States. Oh it will definitely be a great game, the "North America Derby" if you will. Us comes with a nearly full squad, as does Mexico, but both are missing a few instrumental European players.

US comes without Fulham players Mcbride and Carlos Bocanegra, along with Claudio Reyna from Man City, and Sanneh will also be missing.
Mexico Plays without Rafa Marquez, Gerardo Torrado, and Nery Alberto Castillo, who seems to be siding with Mexico rather than Uruguay, but preferred to play with Olympiakos for the moment.
Also, Cuauhtemoc Blanco's noticable absense was due to a problem entering the United States, not from the Coach's failure to cap him.

Player to watch:
Mexico: Mexico comes with a very balanced squad, they have a handful of veterans and a handful of rookies. This game will be for the rookies to shine.
Watch out for Mario Perez. This young Necaxa winger has shown a lot of promise in his last game with Mexico, and will be full of surprises on wednesday, where he is expected to start.
Luis Ernesto Perez has more experience than the other Perez, but has been away from the national team due to injury. Expect him to come ready t prove himself again against a strong US squad.
Wednesday will mark Duilio Davino's Second game in a year with the National side. Davino was injured a little less than a year ago with a torn knee ligament, and has been nursing it since. He has, however, shown a lot of progress, and has recently made spectacular plays for America as he returns to his top form. Watch him as he tries to prove his value to the team.

1. Oswaldo Sánchez Portero Guadalajara
2. Moisés Muñoz Portero Morelia
