Mexico the ones left looking in the mirror after US World Cup qualifying defeat

'We fiercely dislike Mexico’s soccer team, right, and we’re fierce competitors and we want to win every time on the field,” says US coach, making a point to distinguish Mexico’s team from its people.

United States' Weston McKennie celebrates his goal with Tyler Adams, left, and Christian Pulisic in their 2-0 win over Mexico in Cincinnati.

Christian Pulisic sent a message, with his head and his undershirt - take that, Mexico. Pulisic and the Americans are back atop the region.

Pulisic scored with his first touch in the 74th minute, Weston McKennie added a second in the 85th as the US beat Mexico 2-0 Friday night in a World Cup qualifier.
