  • 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.

  • Wow no wonder it's so hard to win in Azteca elevation like that makes it hard to play. Plus the weather must be tough too... partly cloudy with a chance of trash :(

  • @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.

  • 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?

  • @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.

  • MNT!! mutan ninja turtles vs Mexico

  • Dayum Why are they using the Oxygen Tanks?

    I seriously doubt the Mexicans are using them.

  • Can someone explain to me why they use oxygen tanks?

  • wow the roar is amazing!!

  • USA will win next year.

  • @TheOneandOnlyAmateur I think the USMNT has enough talent to get a result with Mexico at Azteca, they just don't play with enough heart and they give up too easily with the altitude and the crowd noise. Mexico wins because they want it more. If only the US played every game like they way they played the 2nd half of their Friendly against Mexico in Philadelphia in August, I think they'd really create some good chances for themselves.

  • Wow Mexican fans are Crazyyyy tough croud but beautiful video loved it
