You can rag on United States soccer for a lot of reasons, but USA-Mexico is one of the biggest rivalries in national team soccer.
No it’s not. It’s 2 under achievers with 0 hardware in the easiest football federation to qualify for the World Cup. Stop acting like it’s Germany vs England.

@ you throwing out bullshite and hoping it sticks that isnt even a real rivalry, they dont even play each other in competitive games

In truth, the two brands of football in England and Germany have long regarded each other as kindred spirits, and most Germans are either indifferent or oblivious to the historical significance placed on clashes between the two sides in this country. For them, that September day in Munich in 2001 is remembered as the moment the Republic of Ireland crushed the World Cup qualification hopes of the Netherlands, their true nemesis, in Dublin. More recently Italy have also become regarded as bogeymen, while the emergence of Spain as a seemingly unstoppable, trophy-guzzling tiki-taka monster has dwarfed all traditional rivalries in the face of a monumental new common enemy.

Where? In the world? Or between the 2 countries? Between the 2 countries, sure. Worldwide? No one gets excited for USA vs Mexico.

One of my favorite LD moments might be from the 2011 Gold Cup. Prior to the Gold Cup some Mexican players tested positive for some sort of banned substance, an subsequently blamed it on eating some bad chicken from a restaurant. Landon Donovan scored in the 23rd minute to put us up 2-0 in what was one of the fastest starts I've ever seen from the USMNT. After scoring Donovan did a small chicken dance, something so out of character for him that showed some of that grit Americans crave in their superstars.
We'd go on to lose 4-2. I remember those Mexicans being fast as hell that night and destroying us on the wings.

Absolutely easiest to qualify.

Right above Norway vs Denmark. Riveting.
Goal.com ranked Iran vs Saudi Arabia higher. That’s all you need to know.

For USA and Mexico? Absolutely. We and Mexico should NEVER miss a World Cup. 5-6 spots in a weak federation. I don’t know why you’re posting that map.

CONCACAF had 3.5 spots for 2018 and previous world cups. Research before you start spouting about sports you know nothing about.

You should stop trying to have a debate, at least until you go back to kindergarten and learn how to count
