Mexico to face Venezuela at Rose Bowl

AP - The Mexican national soccer team will play its final tuneup match before the World Cup against Venezuela at the Rose Bowl on May 5.

The international game that will be played on Cinco de Mayo is the sixth meeting between the teams. Mexico has won all five of the previous matchups, including a 2-1 victory in a friendly on July 5, 2000.
