By Braden Chalker Mexico boss Jaime 'Jimmy' Lozano admitted the USMNT have widened the gap between the two national teams after extending their unbeaten streak against their southern rivals to seven games. Just when things were starting to look up for Mexico under Lozano after last summer's Gold Cup triumph, it all came crashing down again at the hands of the US. Even though the Stars and Stripes have flexed their muscles over their rivals in the last couple of years, Sunday night's Nations League final looked quite even on paper and many were expecting an entertaining contest. However, Gregg ...

By Braden Chalker The US men's national team and Mexico will renew their rivalry on Sunday night in the Concacaf Nations League final at AT&T Stadium. The Stars and Stripes took the more complicated route to the final after their scare against Trinidad and Tobago in the quarterfinals in which they triumphed 4-2 on aggregate despite losing the second leg 2-1. Gregg Berhalter's side trailed nearly the entire 90 minutes in the semifinal vs Jamaica, but a late own goal saw the two teams battle in extra time. A pair of Haji Wright goals -- both assisted by Gio Reyna -- lifted the US to a 3-1 victor...

By Braden Chalker Mexico national team boss Jaime 'Jimmy' Lozano believes neither his side or the US men's national team are favorites for the upcoming Concacaf Nations League final this weekend. El Tri are coming off a 3-0 triumph over Panama in the semifinals, where Lozano's side displayed the art of counter-attacking to a tee at AT&T Stadium. Mexico recorded just 41% possession, choosing to sit in for most of the match and break through in transition with the likes of Edson Alvarez and Julian Quinones - who scored his first goal as a member of the national team - put the Concacaf giants in ...

By Braden Chalker Panama will look to play spoilers against Mexico in the Concacaf Nations League semifinals on Thursday night at AT&T Stadium. Jaime Lozano's side were just about outmatched by Honduras in their quarterfinal tie, but a penalty shootout victory at Estadio Azteca saw them prevail. El Tri were down 2-0 after the first leg but managed to tie things up at two apiece before Andy Najar's missed penalty attempt sealed the win for the North American giants. Panama will be looking for revenge this time out, as it was Mexico who toppled the Central American nation in last summer's Gold C...

By Lizzy Becherano Jamaican national team goalkeeper Andre Blake expects a difficult match against Mexico when facing the Concacaf rival in the upcoming Copa America group stage.

Eagle Pass (United States) (AFP) - Joe Biden and Donald Trump traded blame for America's immigration crisis as they made dueling visits to the US-Mexican border Thursday, putting the hot-button issue at the heart of their race for the White House in November. In near-simultaneous speeches in Texas, Republican former president Trump called the record numbers of border crossings a "Joe Biden invasion" -- while the Democratic incumbent urged his rival to stop "playing politics" with proposed migration reforms. The split-screen moment highlighted what could be a make-or-break issue in the presiden...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden and Donald Trump will both visit the US-Mexico border on Thursday in a high-profile clash of schedules as they vie to win over voters on immigration -- one of the hottest issues in the 2024 election. With record numbers of migrants crossing into the United States, Biden has sought to defuse a major threat to his reelection campaign by blaming Congress for failing to back his reforms. For Trump, a hard anti-immigration stance has been central to his political identity for years, and he has repeatedly vowed to crack down on crossings from Mexico as he seeks...

Mexico City (AFP) - It wasn't his first choice, but Mexico is now home for Evens Luxama -- along with thousands of other Haitians forced to put their hopes of migrating to the United States on hold. The 34-year-old is one of a growing number of people from the crisis-torn Caribbean nation pursuing what activists have described as the "Mexican dream," building a life in a land that migrants traditionally hurried through. "I wanted to go to the United States, but I don't think there's another country that offers the opportunity that Mexico does right now," said Luxama, who hopes his partner and ...
