Mexico will play Argentina on Tuesday night in a big game for both teams as they prepare for important competitive games next month. Both teams come into this game after an eventful summer, and will be hoping to build momentum ahead of October's big games. Tonight's match has a start time of 10 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the ESPN 2 network, or online through ESPN live stream via the link below.
Argentina had an ultimately disappointing summer after losing the Copa America final to Chile in a shocking result. Argentina had been massive favorites for the tournament, especially after Brazil fell in the quarter finals.
Many had predicted that Lionel Messi and his teammates would finally get their hands on some international silverware, however, they were made to wait longer as their array of world class stars were unable to break down a committed and ferocious Chile team playing in front of their home fans.
Losing the final on penalties was hugely disappointing for Argentina, and they will now be looking to regroup and push on in search of trophies.
Mexico, meanwhile, were oppositely big underdogs for this year's Gold Cup. Their past year had been extremely tough, as their team failed to find any cohesion and looked like a team in disarray.
However, when it came to the crunch, Mexico delivered spectacularly and claimed the Gold Cup to the delight of their long-suffering fans.
They will now be desperate to put the difficult days behind them and try and build momentum and confidence from their Gold Cup victory. However, coming up against a very strong Argentina team could prove a massive task for them.
Argentina come into this game having demolished Bolivia in Houston last week, firing in seven unanswered goals in a comprehensive win. They remain in Texas for today's game at the AT&T Stadium, and will be hoping to maintain their free-scoring exploits.
Mexico will play the USA in October's CONCACAF Confederations Cup Playoff, and so how they do today could have a strong bearing on how ready they are for that massive playoff.
Mexico could only manage a 3-3 draw against Trinidad & Tobago last week, and they will need to be much better - especially in defense - if they are to avoid a heavy defeat to Argentina tonight.
