I dunno. If we took both teams A squad and just sort of assessed transfer value by who actually plays, I think it's hard to say who SHOULD win (Chicharito used to way pull Mexico up, but that has changed). If we go by who is eligible for what teams, and where they play for what ELO rated teams.... it's pretty obvious that the US hasn't called their best squad in for a while. Guys like Ventura Alvarado, Alfredo Morales, Timmy Chandler, even Andrew Wooten are playing more minutes for better clubs than their counterparts. Would that USA squad be better than that Mexico squad? I'm less sure. Mexico has some great players, they just get held back through some dumb policies.
