How can they be high altitude when they're lower than the USA on a map? Checkmate.

I don't care; I heard the orange man is to give out the trophy and man it'd be great if Mexico won.

Being at such a high altitude, the effects of gravity are less. This means that players will have a lesser risk of injury when they pretend to be injured.

It's like they're a gym leader and challengers have to come to them to face them.

They're not the only teams living high tho, Bogotá is 2600m high for exemple

Not to mention the team from Ecuador spent 9 hours in the air for a trip that was supposed to take 4 hours and the airline never gave a reason for the extra 5 hours of flight time, and then when they finally get to their hotel, which had been doxxed, they were greeted by "fans" blaring music outside their rooms all night long. Great hosts.

Given every advantage, including England down to 10 players, I'm glad the crowd of ~70,000 Mexico fans went away disappointed. They were having tantrums over every little thing and booing the opposition every second of possession, so it was good to have them silenced.

Their fans are not the most fair-play crowd either

And apparently they still lost against England playing in Mexico City.

Mexico using all the cheat codes available

In rugby that's quite a common thing in South Africa. Pole jumps in Brazil are slightly higher due to lower gravity. What's the problem here? If you are a pro footballer in 2026, and you care about your sport, you know it and condition yourself accordingly.

Pretty sure most professional soccer-players do high-altitude training, so i dont think this would be as impactful as one might think
