Prime Video has released the trailer for “Good Rivals,” its upcoming three-part series on the rivalry between Mexico and the U.S. men’s national team.

The trailer features some of the biggest names to have taken part in the rivalry, including Landon Donovan, Brian McBride, Alexi Lalas, Rafa Márquez and Javier “Chicharito” Hernández.

Part one of the series will chronicle the early days of the rivalry, which included a 24-game losing streak for the USA to Mexico between 1937 and 1980. Part two will go through the USMNT’s revival, climaxing in a World Cup last-16 win over Mexico in 2002. Part three will document the modern era of the rivalry, beginning in 2016 through the present day.

From the official description:

‘Good Rivals’ will peel back the political, social, and sporting layers of a rivalry that has become must-see TV over the past 30 years. Far more than just a sports documentary, Good Rivals spotlights the personal and professional arcs of stars from each nation, like Landon Donovan (United States) and Rafa Márquez (Mexico), who became symbols of their country’s cultures during their respective careers in the early and mid-2000s. Good Rivals will also examine the passionate, international battle for on-field talent and fan support that has made the U.S.-Mexico border one of the most fascinating soccer frontiers in the world, with players—and families—from both countries becoming the focus of recruiting battles between these two deeply interconnected nations.
