    Got to admit it was pretty cool seeing the Mexican fans celebrate after they scored a goal. They went crazy!

    Amazing perspective! I've always wanted to go to Azteca and watch the US play against Mexico, and if the day ever comes when the Yanks beat the Mexicans in Azteca, may God have mercy on the poor American fans who are in the stadium at that time.

    Thanks for finally posting this. I was beginning to think that this behind the scene's segment was just skipped.

    @AmandaWithLov3 @dirtybunny987 The Azteca is at an extremely high altitude and the players need to get used to the lower oxygen. Most of the Mexican players play in Mexico so they didn't need it, however, the Mexicans playing abroad still needed the tanks.

    The US likes to make excuses when losing to Mexico, complaining about the Altitude and the heat.... if I'm mistaken didn't they play against Mexico at night when it snowed a few days before?

    haha i live in toluca, its like 40 minutes from mexico city, here the altitude is over 8,500 feet and we have a soccer team in PRIMERA DIVISION (diablos rojos) so its funny to me watching athletes using oxigen tanks, although i totally understand

    I gotta tell you, The Azteca has a very hostile atmosphere to all visitors, not just the US. I dont think the US will ever get a victory against 100 000 people cheering to the local team like that. However it was a great match and I loved the video, nice job!

    @AmandaWithLov3 it says right there because of the altitude the us does not have a high altitude, therefore if you go to mexico your going to have hard time breathing because of the low oxygen and add the fact that mexico has the most polluted oxygen.

    @VampireHiryu hahaha no you're almost right, except it's a 100% chance of trash--and when they change the game time to the heat of the day instead of the original afternoon time--they're sure to breathe in the glorious combination of nastiness and muck that is mexico city :) don't get me wrong, i'm from LA so i know all about that...

    @potrokiko Because there are other countries in CONCACAF (such as Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador, etc.), who hate Mexico as well (more so because they've been the CONCACAF giant for so many years now.). It's more of a "friendly rival" chant., if you get what I mean.

    Poor Landon was playing this game while he had the swine flu. To make matters worse they had to play in the high elevated and polluted Mexico City. From 8:57-9:13, that was uncalled for by the Mexican fans. Some of them have no class or respect. I may be Mexican, but I'm a die hard USA fan till I die. USA USA USA!!!!
