United States men's national soccer team vs. Mexico: How to watch Tuesday's friendly

The Mauricio Pochettino era got off to a successful start on Saturday, with the U.S. men's national soccer team earning a 2-0 victory over Panama in Austin, Texas.
Pochettino's USMNT will face a more difficult test on Tuesday when it plays in its first friendly in Mexico since 2012. While the USMNT hasn't lost to Mexico on U.S. soil since 2019, it has just one victory all-time in Mexico, which came in that 2012 friendly.
Pochettino brings a wealth of coaching experience to the U.S. program, replacing former coach Gregg Berhalter, who was fired after the USMNT was unceremoniously bounced following a disappointing performance in Copa America 2024. Pochettino was announced as the new USMNT coach on Sept. 10 and has less than two years to turn around the team for the 2026 World Cup following the Copa America debacle.
That journey to the 2026 World Cup got off to a strong start, thanks to goals by Yunus Musah and Ricardo Pepi in Saturday's win. For Musah, Saturday's tally represented his first international goal. The win snapped a four-game winless run for the USMNT, as well as a two-game skid against Panama.

Christian Pulisic among five USMNT players to miss Mexico friendly
USMNT star Christian Pulisic, along with Weston McKennie, Marlon Fossey, Ricardo Pepi and Zack Steffen will not be available for the team's friendly against Mexico.
Pulisic headed back to his club team, AC Milan, with what U.S. Soccer called "load management." U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino had previously expressed concern over Pulisic's heavy workload.
McKennie — who did not play in Saturday's win over Panama — along with Fossey, Pepi and Steffen have "minor injuries" and also will return to their respective club teams.
No additional players were added to the roster for the game against Mexico to replace the absent players.
