Late kick off but.....

US Mens U-23 vs Mexico playing in Frisco at FC Dallas Stadium Feb. 29th 9pm kick off. Tickets go on sale Friday starting at $20. Wish it was the US Men, but should be a good game.

I'll go out on a limb and pick Mexico to win this.

most of the mexican players will have played in the same league, same style, while the us players will be coming from all kinds of backgrounds, so i would give the nod to the s.americans also. The last us roster included players from germany, norway, mls, england, etc..so i'm guessing it will be a bit disjointed on the field. I am curious to see how many young mls players are invited. Shea for sure. Unlike the womens side the olympics is a U23 affair on the mens side. (3 overage players can be added after qualifying) Also a chance for the american-mexicans in the area to see the young stars playing in the mexican league so it should be an event. Also it will be interesting to see what Adu has become since his days in the Dallas Cup at 12.

This match is the same day as the US v. Italy in Italy. I hope Shea is in Italy instead of Frisco on that date.
