Should this be called soccer rivalry due to its relevance to the USA and the use of that word here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.2.227.39 (talk) 06:41, 30 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

I was thinking the same thing. -- R'son-W (speak to me/breathe) 01:50, 3 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Would be nice to have a total summary --Jor70 13:52, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

This isn't really much of an article, more a list of results. It doesn't even mention why the two nations are rivals, just they have played each other many times. Dancarney (talk) 15:49, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Is it necessary to insert the overall W-L-T record in the intro and again during "Recent Years"? I agree that more context ought to be given, for example player altercations, media involvement (voodoo dolls sold in Mexico for the February 2009 WCQ held in USA), probably ought to include the Donovan & Oswaldo Sanchez hate, etc. This is one of the most dynamic rivalries in international soccer and this article leaves much to be desired. --Beach blvd (talk) 07:34, 18 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

This article is Missing some Things

edit

The opening paragraphs and the result charts look just fine. But I think there should have been a seperate infobox which indicate and mark the milestones for either squad and a listing of players who have scored goals for their respective national side.

For Example:

Date & Place USA Goal/Player VS Mexico Goal/Player Final
June 17, 2002

Jeonju, South Korea

McBride 8'min (of 1st half)

Donovan 26'min (2nd half)

  2 - 0  

woeful article

edit

not a single source for anything? A link to FIFA.com (for the result perhaps), but where are the ascertatiosn comings from?Lihaas (talk) 03:59, 24 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

New Club Addition

edit

I think it would be interesting to add a section to this page that lists the games and results played by Club teams from both countries. I would do it but I have very little knowledge of how to create a new article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.214.226.98 (talk) 17:35, 17 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup Final

edit

I don't understand this comment and have restored the relevant match to the list:

The match at the 2009 Gold Cup is not considered official as the tournament, along with the 2005 and upcoming 2013 tournaments, are not tied to FIFA and are organized exclusively by CONCACAF.

Unless a country specifically indicates it's sending a B-team, youth-team, etc, then its matches are full internationals at any confederation championship. Why exclude the 2009 Gold Cup, but not the 2007 or 2011 Gold Cup, or the US Cup, or the friendly matches? The match is listed on the FIFA page (even though FIFA appears to be missing a couple of the matches listed on this Wikipedia page). jnestorius(talk) 19:58, 10 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

I agree with the comment above and went ahead re-reverted this. At best, the Gold Cup final is no more unofficial than the friendlies that are listed. Just because the 2009 Gold Cup is not tied to FIFA Confederations Cup, doesn't mean that it shouldn't be listed.Waterloosunset27 (talk) 02:38, 16 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
Its was an official match between the two senior teams, that is what the list is for, it should stay. Murry1975 (talk) 13:17, 16 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Clasico and associated unsourced claims

edit

I don't want to breach 3RR: could someone else revert the unsourced claims of RealEarthquake/Amerxican/Walter Görlits/ 71.139.164.148 (all of which are permanantly banned accounts). Who knows, if it is done by a US citizen, he might even consider that you have a right to be on Wikipedia. Kevin McE (talk) 06:21, 5 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Reverted, sock seems to have WP:OWN issue on article. Murry1975 (talk) 14:42, 5 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Actually Im fighting againts Kevin McE due to the fact that she doesnt know anything about the rivalry. She continues to erase tons of information that was used in previous edits. 71.139.169.11 (talk) 07:53, 8 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

"Actually Im fighting" WP:BATTLEFIELD. As far as your edits go they are pretty poor, but your attitude needs to change just as much. Work within the guidelines, discuss what needs to be done show proof, and be civil. Murry1975 (talk) 13:08, 8 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Please note that I am male, as is (AFAIK) everyone with the forename Kevin: I suspect you knew that and thought that using a female pronoun would be an insult. Please be aware that both my age and my IQ are more than 13, so that is unlikely to work. Kevin McE (talk) 21:15, 8 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Mexico–United States association football rivalryMexico–United States football rivalry – Two reasons. First, this is the common title for most football rivalries in Wikipedia. Second, there are no other "football" rivalries between the USA & Mexico that merit the length of the current title. If future "football" rivalries form between both sides (assuming American gridiron football eventually becomes highly popular in Mexico), I suppose that this title would be acceptable, as is the case with New Zealand and Australia.

Score/Games mismatch

edit

In the article's infobox it says the largest victory happened on August 25, 1975 (MEX 8–0 USA), but in the list of games there isn't any 8–0 result (the largest would be 6-0) nor a game on that date (the closest one would be August 24, 1975, but it looks strange that they would play in 2 consecutive days). I looked online and found different sites that mention the 1975's 8–0 on August 25th, but they don't offer any source for it (including this other Wikipedia article, wehre the game is mentioned as being part of the 1976 Summer Olympics Qualifier). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alvaromontoro (talkcontribs) 18:09, 5 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

After doing some research, I arrived to this 1975 article from a Spanish newspaper archive where the it says the game happened on the 24th, as part of the qualifiers for the Olympics, and that it was played by the amateurs national teams. Now that creates another issue: were the USA and Mexico playing 2 different soccer games for 2 different competitions at the same time? (Copa Ciudad de Mexico and the Olympic qualifiers) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alvaromontoro (talkcontribs) 18:21, 5 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Combining result scores in table

edit

It is at best awkward to combine scores as the are combined in the results table. Scores are game specific and should be reported clearly and unambiguously for each game. Unfortunately, the article is locked, preventing easy editing to correct the display of results in the table. Someone with edit privileges should make the necessary tweaks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.202.81.20 (talk) 18:25, 16 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Article name

edit

Mexicans calls the sport "futbol" which is Spanish for football so why don't you give a little respect to the non-American side? Association football is the most neutral term in this context. 113.179.5.195 (talk) 08:03, 20 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

WP:ENGVAR applies here. What the sport is called in Spanish is completely irrelevant, but what the sport is called in English is relevant. Because this involves the USMNT and not, say, England, we use the term "soccer" throughout the article rather than "football" as you might find in other similar articles. Really all there is to it.
