It’s an international weekend in the soccer calendar. World Cup Qualifying takes center stage as UEFA and CONCACAF continue to pave their roads to Russia. Meanwhile, only three games are scheduled in MLS next to a full slate of NASL and USL matches.
The headline of the weekend is the U.S. Men’s National Team travelling to Estadio Azteca to take on Mexico. The USMNT has never won a competitive away game against El Tri, but they are coming in hot after a 2-0 win at home against Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday.
Across the pond, England and Scotland renew their historic rivalry in World Cup Qualifying action on FS2.
The U.S. Women’s National Team is also playing this weekend. They are about 40 miles south of Oslo in Sandefjord, Norway to take on the Norwegian women on Sunday afternoon.

Bjorn Johnson entered as a sub is now cap tied to Norway.
Ooopty-do, England tied in the last second against a shocking Scottish side. I wonder where the next humiliation is going to be against, after Costa Rica and Iceland, perhaps they lose to Burkina Faso by a goal to nil in a hard fought encounter next summer in Russia…England’s national team has been a joke for decades now…so nothing to see here…
Quite a finish to the Scotland v. England game. England grabbed a goal in the 2nd half and Scotland didn’t do much. Then in the last 5 minutes or so, Scotland scored 2 goals in about 2 minutes on two free kicks just outside the box to jump ahead and seemingly win it. Not to be outdone, Harry Kane got the equalizer just before the final whistle.
