Attention soccer aficionados — INVESCO Field at Mile High is set to host an international match this summer.

The Mexican national team will host New Zealand at INVESCO on Wednesday, June 1 at 8 p.m. MDT as part of Mexico’s 2011 U.S. Tour.

“We look forward to hosting Mexico and New Zealand in what will be an exciting match for fans to enjoy,” Broncos Senior Vice President of Business Development Mac Freeman said. “INVESCO Field at Mile High is a World-class facility and a perfect venue for this international sporting event.”

The match, which will take place four days prior to Mexico’s opening game in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup, will mark “El Tri’s” first visit to INVESCO Field at Mile High since suffering a 1-0 exhibition loss to the U.S. Men’s National Team on April 3, 2002, in front of 48,476 fans.

Preparing for the Colts

Tough loss. No one really likes losing; it’s hard to deal with. You work a full week to get ready for the game, and all the time the coaches have put in to get your game plan, the time the players put in to practice the game plan, and to come out on Sunday and not execute as well as we expect is tough. Some encouraging things, we obviously have a talented team, a good team, because as poorly as we played, it still came down to the final minutes of the game. We were still within six points with four minutes to go and we had the ball, we just weren’t able to pull it out.

It was another frustrating week for me. I did not play, once again, but I got a little closer to playing, because I actually had on pads. But that actually might have made it more difficult to deal with, whereas the week before I just had on a sweat suit. I think my ankle was in good enough condition to play, but the coaches said I would only come in in case of emergency, which it got kind of close there with John Lynch getting hurt and a few other things happening. I almost got to play, but I definitely, 100 percent, expect to play this week against the Colts, which we are all looking forward to.
