"Being Mexican it's parts of the Mexican pride that we have about the national team. I think that's what we look forward to, the World Cup, the FIFA," said Jorge Guzman, a San Jose resident.

The U.S. team didn't qualify for the World Cup so there are a lot of fans embracing Mexico and hoping they go all the way. The game begins at 7:30 p.m. Traffic around the stadium is congested.
