The Concacaf World Cup qualifiers took a break this month but they return in November in what will be the last international break of the year. There are many doubts surrounding the Mexico national team, who just won two friendlies against New Zealand and Panama before playing against the United States and Panama again for Qualifiers on November 10 and 15 respectively.
After the win against Panama, Osorio told the press that: "Well, the idea is always the same, to try to play to our strengths, but we also understand the United States is a strong team. We believe that they are very good at direct football, in open plays as well as set plays. So we'll take that into consideration and we'll put out a team that can compete against the United States with their athleticism, but, also, we'll put out a team that can play football and can take the game to them.
"Against the United States and against Panama, as visitors, we've got great chances and we're going to try to compete with them. Now the most important thing is that our players stay in good health, hopefully there aren't any injuries, that they compete with their respective clubs. I think the next Mexico squad is going to be a very strong one and very well positioned to compete in the two matches."
