Two days after Mexico won the Olympic football final over fancied Brazil, the team is already preparing for its highly anticipated friendly against the United States.

Mexico’s friendly with the US is scheduled to take place in Mexico City’s iconic Aztec Stadium on August 15.

A-List players such as Manchester United’s star striker Javier Hernandez and goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa are participating.

Mexican coach Jose Manuel dela Torres says the friendly match will help prepare the national side as it fights for a regional qualification in the upcoming 2014 World Cup.

Mexico beat hot favorites Brazil, 2-1, to win their first Olympic soccer title, their first major international title and their first gold in any sport at the London Games.
