The US tied Mexico 0-0 at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City last night. It was only the second time the US team won a point in the notoriously hostile Azteca, and Mexico was rightfully upset about it.

An American at the game also posted this photo on Instagram, which he says is a US fan after he got hit in the forehead with a bottle:
