1Columbus showdown for México and EEUU on Sept. 3

Columbus, OH: This Saturday’s FIFA match between México and the United States is sure to be a barnburner at the Columbus Crew Stadium, with game time at 7:30PM. Tickets were sold out in the first five minutes of presentation.

Both teams— in the North and Central American/Caribbean zone of competition for the World Cup in Germany in 2006—are in the third stage of the playoffs, with the U.S. showing a lackluster victory over Trinidad and Tobago (1 to 0) in its last game and México showing an impressive victory against Costa Rica (2 to 0).

México has a record of 5 wins, no losses, and one draw. The U.S. also has 5 wins with its only loss against México—on March 27, 2005 in México City, México won 2 to 1.

In this zone, México has the top two scorers with Jared Borgetti (13 goals) and Jaime Lozano (10 goals). The current standings in this zone at stage 3 are below.
