Mexico's preparation for the Gold Cup could not have gotten off to a better start as the Tricolor trounced a fragile Venezuelan squad 4-0 at a friendly match at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta in front 51,115..

Mexico, propelled by an on-fire Giovani dos Santos, showed glimpses of its old form that looked lost in the constant shuffle of coach. Late in the first half, the Tottenham striker latched on to a Guillermo Ochoa pass and with a perfect cross set up Carlos Vela.

Mexico plays another friendly on American soil against Guatemala on Sunday in San Diego.
