A little late in linking to this, but my former boss Paul Oberjuerge wrote about US-Mexico and it's worth reading no matter how far removed from the game we are. Paul has a great perspective on the game as he has covered many US games in his day, including the US-Mexico game in Azteca in 1997.
Anyway, Paul offers his thoughts on the match here.
One of his first thoughts...
"Once we get past the instinctive 'beating Mexico is always good news' … it occurs to us that Mexico is barely a worthy opponent anymore. The American team is getting better, yes … but Mexico seems to be regressing into fairly thorough mediocrity."

Ha! This guy is a joke. Was he being sarcastic? Anyways, I still cannot believe this guy was your boss.
I think you're better off not working with this idiot. He called Dos Santos a "Brazilian import," when in fact, Dos Santos was born in Mexico and has at least one parent who is full-blooded Mexican. That kind of statement is blatant journalistic dishonesty. I'm glad I've never heard of this fool.
