The United States men's national team won't have to wait very long for a chance at revenge against rival Mexico. After losing the Gold Cup final to El Tri earlier this month -- conceding a late goal in the tough loss -- the U.S. will take on Mexico again two months later. The teams announced they've scheduled an international friendly at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. on Sept. 6. It will serve as the marquee match for the remainder of the calendar year for Gregg Berhalter's team.
