Mexico was drubbed by Argentina the other day 4-0.  During the post-game interview, Tata said the following:

[INDENT][I]"I don't think [the defeat] is our reality and I also don't think that going 11 games without losing was our reality," the ex-Argentina and Barcelona manager said after the game. "It's the second 'A level' game we've had. The first was against Chile [in March]. And the substantial difference against Argentina and Chile is that tonight we committed the kinds of errors in which we knew Argentina could damage us." [/I][/INDENT]

So Mexico has now had 2 "A" level friendlies in the last few months - Chile in March and Argentina in September. Tucked in between they also played Paraguay, Venezuela, Cuba, Martinique, Costa Rica, Haiti, and the US (twice, Gold Cup & friendly).  All were wins except for Argentina.  So, based on what he has seen in two wins over the US and likley a bit of a elbow at USSF, the US is a B team.  Ouch.
