Mexico vs. Honduraslineups, team news
After sitting out the quarterfinal due to suspension, Mexico's in-form center-back César Montes is cleared for takeoff once again—and he'll be eyeing a fourth goal to add to his already impressive Gold Cup haul.

The news isn't all sunshine for El Tri, though. Midfield maestro Luis Chávez suffered a devastating ACL tear right before the knockout rounds and has been sidelined for the rest of the tournament. With Hirving Lozano and Henry Martín also out of commission, the squad's injury list is starting to pile up.
Montes' return allows Edson Álvarez to push up into his preferred midfield role, where he's expected to partner Marcel Ruiz and Erik Lira in the heart of the park. Up front, Fulham's Raul Jiménez will once again carry the torch in attack, leading the line as Mexico look to march into another final.
Mexico predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Malagon (GK) — Sanchez, Montes, Vasquez, Gallardo — Lira, Alvarez, Ruiz — Alvarado, Jimenez, Vega.
Injured: Luis Chávez, Hirving Lozano, Henry Martín.
Suspended: None.

Since Honduras was handed a six-goal drubbing in their tournament opener, coach Reinaldo Rueda has leaned on Jorge Benguché over longtime skipper Anthony Lozano to lead the line up top.
Lozano, who plies his trade with Santos Laguna in Liga MX, will be chomping at the bit to reclaim his starting role—especially against a familiar foe like Mexico. A chance to silence the doubters and hit the scoresheet could be just the spark he needs.
Meanwhile, Celtic winger Luis Palma has been something of a fringe figure in the tournament, mostly coming off the bench. Still, he's no stranger to making headlines against El Tri, having bagged a brace in Honduras' Nations League triumph over Mexico last November.
Honduras predicted XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Menjivar (GK) — Crisanto, Maldonado, Martinez, Rosales — Arriaga, Flores — Rodriguez, Alvarez, Quioto — Benguche.

Injured: None.

What Is 'Dos a Cero'? A History Of The USA-Mexico Rivalry's Signature Scoreline
In the USA-Mexico rivalry, there's a scoreline that sends one fanbase into elation while irking the other. Whether it's in a high-stakes World Cup game or in a "friendly" match against El Tri,, you'll hear shouted out among USA supporters whenever it flashes across the jumbotron. You'll see it on T-shirts and even see it adorned on scarves. Dos a Cero! — which is simply, "Two to Zero" in Spanish. The 2-0 scoreline carries significance for the U.S., especially as Mexico's historical dominance has shifted toward a more competitive rivalry since the turn of the century. So, what is Dos A Cero? And why does it continue to be brought up? Let's dive in. Brief Snapshot of USA-Mexico Rivalry First off, some history of the overall USA-Mexico men's soccer rivalry that stretches back to 1934 – even if it didn't even begin in either country. The first game between the two neighbors was a 4-2 win for the U.S. in a World Cup qualifying match, with the game held in Rome ahead of the 1934 tournament in Italy. But Mexico would dominate for the rest of the century, with the USMNT not winning again until 1980. In all, there have been 78 matches between the two teams, with Mexico holding the advantage with 37 wins. The U.S. has 24 wins, and there have been 17 draws. Only once has Mexico lost on home soil, a 2012 friendly. But when it comes to games with something on the line – whether it's in World Cup qualifying matches, Gold Cup clashes, or even in the World Cup itself – it's the USA with the upper hand. The USA has 16 wins in competitive matches, with Mexico having 14, and having nine draws. And as we'll detail below, the only time the two teams met in the actual World Cup was in 2002, when the U.S. beat Mexico to advance to the quarterfinals - by a score of 2-0. The game, held in South Korea, was the third and last time the rivalry has been played outside of North America. With interest in the sport increasing after the U.S. hosted the 1994 World Cup and the founding of Major League Soccer in 1996, that helped shift the tide in the USA-Mexico rivalry. Since 2000, the USMNT has 20 wins compared to Mexico's 19 (with four draws). A 'Cold War' Solidifies An Infamous Scoreline A friendly match between the two teams at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Oct. 5, 2000 marked a turning point in the rivalry. It marked the debut of USMNT legend Landon Donovan, who scored the winner in the 2-0 win that would signal more things to come. Five months later, the two teams met under much different circumstances. Instead of an exhibition match in breezy California weather, it was a World Cup qualifying match on Feb. 28, 2001, in freezing temperatures in Ohio. In a game that became known as La Guerra Fria ("The Cold War"), goals by Josh Wolff and Earnie Stewart solidified a second straight 2-0 result over Mexico. Then came what remains the signature moment of this rivalry and this scoreline. The two teams met again on June 17, 2002, on the biggest stage of all – the World Cup. In an elimination match for the right to reach the quarterfinals. Donovan's second-half goal in Jeonju, South Korea, secured a third straight 'Dos A Cero.' The next three times that the U.S. hosted Mexico in World Cup qualifying matches (2005, 2009, 2013) all followed the same pattern. Played in Columbus. And all finished 2-0. There was even some speculation that Clint Dempsey purposely missed a penalty kick in the 2013 win to keep the scoreline. "Nah, I always try to score … I was a little bit tired," Dempsey told reporters after that game, citing it was his first ever penalty miss for the USMNT. "It's this mystical thing, right? It's like this ghost," U.S. midfielder Alejandro Bedoya also said about the reoccuring scoreline. Add in two wins in exhibition matches in 2007 and 2015 with the same scoreline and El Tri fans started thinking there was a Dos A Cero curse. The Curse Is Broken – and 'Dos A Cero' 2.0 USMNT fans will always connect the 2018 World Cup qualifying cycle with the loss to Trinidad & Tobago that kept the team from going to Russia. But there were signs along that campaign that the U.S. would be entering a low point. The first warning sign? Mexico finally broke the curse of World Cup qualifying games held in Columbus. Rafael Marquez's goal in the waning minutes of the game on Nov. 11, 2016, secured a 2-1 win for Mexico. "It was a new opportunity for me, for all of us to write a new story, and we did that," Marquez said after that game. "It had been a long time without a win here, with the cold, the difficulties, and the opponent, too." The U.S. failed to respond in its very next game, a 4-0 loss to Costa Rica, which cost Jurgen Klinnsman his job as manager. But the U.S. would struggle through the rest of qualifying, and ultimately fell short of reaching Russia. But Dos A Cero didn't stay away for long. It just came back with a slight twist. The USMNT beat Mexico once again 2-0 in a World Cup qualifying match on Nov. 21, 2021 in Ohio – but this time in Cincinnati instead of Columbus. It included Christian Pulisic scoring and responding to a comment made by El Tri keeper Guillermo Ochoa saying that "Mexico is the mirror in which the [U.S.] wants to see itself. Then the U.S. did again on March 24, 2024, with an actual trophy on the line. Tyler Adams and Gio Reyna secured their spots in the Dos A Cero lore to win the Concacaf Nations League trophy over Mexico at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. And then another twist, Mexico finally secured its own Dos A Cero. In Mauricio Pochettino's second match in charge of the USMNT, he got a quick introduction to the rivalry in a 2-0 loss in an Oct. 15, 2024, friendly in Guadalajara. With both the USMNT and Mexico wanting to end the summer on a high note and with a trophy, we should expect an entertaining game in Sunday's Gold Cup final in Houston. It remains to be seen if we'll see that familiar scoreline flash across the stadium. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

USA vs. Mexico: Why Christian Pulisic And Other Stars Aren't At The Gold Cup
The United States men's national team will face their historic rivals Mexico in the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup final on Sunday, and they'll do it without some of their biggest and brightest stars. Unlike Mexico, who came into this tournament at near-full-strength, the U.S. is missing several key players, including "Captain America" himself, Christian Pulisic. But why will the U.S. be so shorthanded for the final? Here's a breakdown of why some of the biggest names in the U.S. player pool aren't at the Gold Cup: Rest for Pulisic Christian Pulisic isn't with the U.S. after deciding to sit out of the Gold Cup following two grueling seasons in Europe with AC Milan. The 26-year-old attacker told CBS Sports that he offered to play the two friendlies versus Turkiye and Switzerland before the tournament started, but coach Mauricio Pochettino turned him down. "That's the coach's decision," Pulisic said. "I fully respect that. I didn't understand it, but it is what it is." During a pregame press conference earlier in the tournament, FOX Sports' Doug McIntyre asked Pochettino about Pulisic's comments, and the former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur manager didn't hold back. "Players don't need to understand," Pochettino said. "Players need to listen and to stick with our plan. They cannot dictate the plan. "He explained why he only wanted to be involved in two games and not the Gold Cup, and I respect that," added Pochettino. "I understand him. But I do need that he understands our decision. "When I signed my contract with the [U.S. Soccer] Federation, I am the head coach. I am not a mannequin." Club World Cup commitments While the best international squads in Concacaf are competing in the Gold Cup, the top clubs in the world are playing in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, including Borussia Dortmund, where Gio Reyna is under contract, and Juventus, where Weston McKennie and Tim Weah both play. McKennie appeared in all four of Juventus' Club World Cup matches before they were eliminated by Real Madrid in the Round of 16. Weah also featured for Juventus during the tournament, but only for a single half. He's been linked with a move away from Juventus, but recently turned down a move to Premier League club Nottingham Forest. Reyna has been the most sparsely-used American at the Club World Cup, playing just 12 minutes in the entire tournament. Dortmund will play Real Madrid in the semifinals on Saturday. The injured crew The United States' starting fullbacks at the 2022 FIFA World Cup were both left off of the Gold Cup roster due to injuries. Sergiño Dest, who last appeared for the U.S. in March 2024 due to a torn ACL, was dropped from Pochettino's Gold Cup roster so that he could continue his recovery in the Netherlands with PSV Eindhoven. He was replaced by Holstein Kiel's John Tolkin on the U.S. roster. Antonee "Jedi" Robinson had an outstanding season in the Premier League with Fulham, but had it cut short after undergoing minor surgery to his right knee. He's expected to be available for the start of the 2025-26 Premier League campaign, which kicks off on August 15. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

(AP Photo/Fernando Llano) MEXICO CITY (AP) — An invisible enemy awaits former Arsenal and Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey in Mexico City — the altitude. Ramsey was introduced on Thursday as a new player for the UNAM Pumas, who play their home matches at estadio Olimpico, which sits at an altitude of 2,240 meters (7,350 feet) above sea level. Advertisement The Mexican Apertura tournament starts next week, although Pumas will not play their first home game until July 20. 'The altitude is something I have that I have definitely have to get used to,' Ramsey said at a media conference. 'I am doing well at the moment I need to take the next steps and hopefully I will be to be on the pitch as soon as possible to help my teammates. I hope it will be very soon.' The 34-year-old Ramsey arrived in Mexico City on Tuesday for his medical and signed his one-year contract on Thursday. 'This league is very technical, with great players and over the last I've really tried to get as much information as I could from certain people and, you know, the internet and things like that,' added Ramsey. Advertisement Pumas is considered one of the four most popular teams in the country although it has not won a title since the Clausura 2011 tournament. 'I have had pressure throughout my career. I've played for some of the best teams in the world, and there's an expectation to win,' Ramsey said. 'I'm sure here is no different, so. I know what this club can do, and hopefully I can play my part to be successful.' Ramsey finished the final three matches of the 2024-25 season as Cardiff City's interim manager after they were relegated from the Championship to League One in Wales. With 86 appearances for Wales, the midfielder helped his country reach the Euro 2016 semifinals. Ramsay has previously said he hopes to continue playing for the national side as it attempts to reach the World Cup in the U.S., Mexico and Canada next year. ___ AP soccer:
