Two of the long-time powerhouse teams in CONCACAF will square off on Wednesday as theUSAhostMexicoat State Farm Stadium in Phoenix in what for what is being called the first annual Continental Clasico.

This match will be a dress rehearsal for each team before they face each other in the CONCACAF Nations League semi-final this June, having each topped their respective groups.

It will be a busy few months for the Yanks, who have a chance to retain their Nations League and the Gold Cup titles later this summer.

While there is plenty of excitement surrounding what may be the best generation of the men's program in a long time, with it comes the uncertainty of who is the right person to get the best out of these players.

For the moment, that man isAnthony Hudson, and the interim boss has once again gone for youth and continuity, with all but two players chosen for this match currently featuring in the US (Major League Soccer or United Soccer League).

Hudson is only with the team to provide a little stability to a program looking to put the public scandal ofGregg Berhalter,Gio Reynaand the Reyna family behind them, while Hudson will also attempt to get these players ready for some massive international competitions later this year, while the front office continues to search for a permanent coach.

After a couple of poor showings versus Serbia and Colombia at the beginning of the year, the US have bounced back nicely, winning their final two group matches in the Nations League versus Grenada (7-1) and El Salvador (1-0) by a combined score of 8-1.

Hudson adjusted his formation in those Nations League encounters, going with a 4-2-3-1 as opposed to the 4-3-3 employed in his first two matches at the helm, and it made a massive difference in their performances, with the Yanks looking dangerous when in possession while showing plenty of attacking flair, albeit against weaker opponents and with a more veteran side than what he has for this game.

Lately, the Yanks have got the better of their Mexican rivals, unbeaten in their last four matches against them, including the previous three on American soil.
