The Yanks have played four-straight Hex home games against Mexico in Columbus, winning all by the celebrated score line “Dos a Cero”.
“It means a lot to us to play Mexico in Columbus,” said U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. “Columbus is for us what Azteca Stadium is for them. It’s a game where emotions will go through the roof, and we need to have our crowd behind us bringing their voice against our biggest rival. We know they will. Columbus will rock.”
Those seeking tickets can head here. Good luck. I’ve been to a USMNT-Mexico match in Columbus amongst the fans, and it was one of the most memorable sporting events of my life.
