The USMNT has the top scorer in the rivalry with Landon Donovan's six goals leading the way. Donovan found the back of the net during the USMNT's memorable 2-0 victory over Mexico at the 2002 World Cup and would be a consistent thorn in El Tri's side during their matchups.

The Gold Cup final will feature the USMNT vs. Mexico on Sunday, July 6, at 6 p.m. CT at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. The U.S. is chasing its eighth Gold Cup title, while Mexico leads the all-time chart with nine championships.

USMNT's Walker Zimmerman said that the Gold Cup semifinal win over Guatemala was a "good taste" of what it's like to play in a hostile environment.
