For The Win

For much of Tuesday's friendly between the U.S. and Mexico, the young USMNT squad didn't look great. But despite the many glaring areas of concern, a Tyler Adams goal was enough to put the USMNT ahead 1-0 in the second half. The U.S. held on to beat Mexico by that score line. Check it out:

Also, Matt Miazga doesn't like short people … at least when they play for Mexico.

Just minutes before Adams' winning goal, the Nantes (on loan from Chelsea) defender exchanged some heated words with Mexico's Diego Lainez after a foul. Miazga is a tall dude - he's 6-foot-4. Lainez is a much shorter 5-foot-6, and during the argument, Miazga felt the need to point that out.

There was a lot to process here.

While making fun of someone's height is a pretty lazy trash-talking strategy, Tuesday's match was the first taste of the USMNT-Mexico rivalry for many of these players. We'll gladly take anything that keeps the rivalry going strong for this younger generation of both the U.S. and Mexico.

Plus, Lainez said after the match that he wasn't offended.
