All the information as Mexico cross the border for the first time since Donald Trump's shock election victory
MEXICO travel to the United States for this 2018 World Cup qualifier days after the shock election victory of Donald Trump.
USA vs Mexico is always a highly-charged clash, but Trump’s plans to build a wall on the border between the two countries has raised the tension higher than ever before.
The match will take place in Columbus, Ohio – this will spice things up even more, as Ohio was a key state for Trump in his path to the White House.
