USA and Mexico will clash on the football pitch on Friday in what has to be one of the most awkwardly timed matches of the year.
It follows Donald Trump's election as the 45th US president this week.
Mr Trump has vowed to build a wall between the United States and Mexico, to keep illegal immigrants out of the country.
He says he wants Mexico to pay for it - experts estimate it would cost tens of billions to build.
The Friday match is a qualifying game for the 2018 World Cup, so stakes are high.
The coaches of both teams anticipate a major clash"Mexico are going to try and kick our asses and we're going to try and kick theirs. It's got nothing to do with politics."
