There was no way Mexico could have foreseen this. Mexico and Ecuador agreed to play a friendly on March 28 in Oakland. Then, they were drawn into the same Copa America group. Oops. I guess Hugo Sanchez won't use that game to prepare for Copa America.
I don't know what Mexico can gain from this game at this point. If Hugo Sanchez has in mind a squad for the Gold Cup and a different one for Copa America, then would be a good time to use the Gold Cup one. But Mexico's season, unlike MLS, will end in May and nothing will be going on in June and July so Sanchez would be free to take most if not all of the same players to both tournaments without taking players away from clubs for too much time.
By the way, I checked for $25 seats for the Mexico-Venezuela and there were none available. Seems that game's a hot seller or there weren't that many cheap seats to begin with.
