It's a huge monkey off the squad's back, that they can win in Azteca. It wasn't quite the same atmosphere as a World Cup qualifier, and it wasn't the same team we would face (we didn't take the same team we would play), but it's still a very important moment for the national team.
And it also irks a bunch of the obnoxious Mexican fans whose clubs beat us up in the Champions League, which is enough on its own to make me happy about it.
