Mexico is the Soccer King of Central America. English travelers introduced modern Soccer to Mexico in the late 19th century. Englishmen also founded the first soccer club in Mexico: the Pachuca Athletic Club, in 1900. After that many clubs sprang up. Today Mexico boasts one of the best leagues in the Americas, with clubs such as Pumas, Chivas, Cruz Azul and Club America. The Mexican League has long been home to some of the best South American players outside of Europe, as well as the steady crop of top Mexican talents. The outstanding league has helped the National Team become one of the strongest in the continent. The Tricolores’ first victory was January 1st, 1923 in Guatemala 3 to 2. That first triumph set the stage for a long winning soccer history. Mexico was one of 13 nations to participate in the inaugural 1930 FIFA World Cup in Uruguay. Beginning in 1950, Mexico qualified for six consecutive World Cup Finals; they’ve qualified for 12 in all. Mexico has hosted two World Cup Finals – 1970 and 1986, both times reaching the quarterfinals! In 1999 Mexico defeated Brazil 4 to 3 to hoist the FIFA Confederations Cup. The Mexican side is no doubt the powerhouse of CONCACAF: The Tri has won 4 CONCACAF Gold Cups – versus the United States in 1993 and 1998 and against Brazil in 1996 and 2003 by a combined score of 8 to 0!

what is mexico's record away from the smog and altitude of azteca? not so good. btw, just a lesson on geography . . . mexico is in north america, not central or south. and one other thing . . . mexico is not the only team CONCACAF team to beat brazil, USA did it also. quote me stats for mexico's play away from azteca, if you really know mexico it won't be hard to do . . . I already know it, i just want you to sit back and see that they are not the powerhouse you think they are

well as of late Mexico's biggest results have been outside Azteca, they have just played a few teams outside the same concacaf ones in the last few years...in fact i dont remember the last game that was played in the Azteca against a team that isnt from the concacaf(outside the gold cup and confederations)...
