Not only will the US be facing their stiffest rivals in Mexico in front of a hostile crowd of 100,000+ supporters, but as SI's Grant Wahl reports, altitude has the potential of playing a major factor as well.
When I asked U.S. defender Oguchi Onyewu what it's like to play in the Azteca, this is what he said: "I've tried to explain that to people who say, ‘You guys looked tired after 10 minutes.' And I'm like, ‘You try playing in those conditions and having to wear oxygen masks at halftime to get some air into your lungs.'"
