U-23 USMNT vs. Mexico live stream: TV schedule, start time, and how to watch online

With each U-23 men's national team camp, San Jose Earthquakes rookie midfielder makes a bigger and better impression on the U.S. coaching staff at all levels, especially head coach Andi Herzog. And this week, as the U-23 squad continues its preparations ahead of qualifying for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Alashe has been called in as part of a 20-player roster that will take on Mexico's U-23 team on Wednesday, April 22, at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Alashe, 21 years of age, was previously called into the national team's camp in late March for a pair of friendlies in Europe. The rookie out of Michigan State made his international debut as a substitute and scored his first goal in a 5-2 victory over the U-21 team of Bosnia and Herzegovina. A week later, he made his first USMNT start and played the full 90 minutes in a 1-0 loss to Denmark.

Prior to his first national team call-up, Alashe had already earned the trust of Earthquakes head coach Dominic Kinnear and was a regular fixture in San Jose's starting lineup. In the club's debut game at newly opened Avaya Stadium, Alashe scored his first MLS goal against the Chicago Fire. The goal also marked the first goal at the Quakes new stadium.

The current U-23 camp will only last a few days and will culminate with the match against Mexico, the defending Olympics champions, on Wednesday. The match will be broadcast live at 8 p.m. PT on UniMás and Univision Deportes Network. Check for the match streamed live online here.
