For Socceroos defender Harry Souttar, the prospect of staring down 75,000 screaming Mexico fans is the perfect preparation for the World Cup.
Australia will face the co-hosts at Pasadena's iconic Rose Bowl Stadium on Saturday (Sunday AEST) in their first warm-up match.
The stadium is expected to be at capacity with a fiercely parochial crowd behind the world No.15.
Souttar will draw on the experience of playing El Tri in Arlington in 2023 and considers it perfect preparation for Australia's second group game against fellow co-hosts the US in Seattle on June 20 (AEST).
"Playing Mexico a couple of years ago we knew how the atmosphere was, and how loud it was, and it's going to be very much the same tomorrow night," Souttar said.
