USA – Mexico Soccer

I’m not normally a big fan of past records, such as Philly is 2-6 against the spread in their last 8 meetings versus Seattle.  A lot of times, the players on each team hadn’t even been born when the records in question were being tallied.  That said, sometimes there’s valuable info in there.  Current lines on Bookmaker for the World Cup qualification match in Mexico City next weekend:

USA +235

Mexico -105

Draw +225

The US is 0-22-1 all-time in Mexico.  Even when the US is good, they still don’t win there.  Somehow, Mexico is an even money bet to win a game they’ve won literally, all but once.

4 unit play on El Tri.
