Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Mexico, October 2, 2005. This monstrous arena is packed to the rafters with 103,467 hysterical fans waving the Mexico flag in various sizes and shouting, "Ole!" in unison. They are eagerly anticipating the inevitable clash between two bitter rivals that are hoping to put on a good show and, at the same time, emerge as the winner in this frenzied spectacle. As the players come storming in, the cheers grow to a fever pitch. Everybody stands to sing the national anthem while the great Mexico flag is raised. The coin toss follows in order to determine which team will kick off. The stage is set for the mayhem to begin as usual here in Mexico, except this time, instead of a regular association football game, it's another kind of football-American football, that is. In fact, the San Francisco 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League are playing a regular season game much to the ardor of the Mexican audience. Well, isn't it a bit strange, don't you think?
On one hand, it is kind of strange, since Mexico is a predominantly football, or in this case, soccer country. And as a matter of fact, Estadio Azteca, or Azteca Stadium, has been the principal venue for some of the most exhilarating and memorable matches in the history of soccer like the 1970 classic "Game of the Century," where Italy defeated Germany, 4-3, in extra time, and the 1986 quarterfinal between Argentina and England, where Diego Maradona majestically executed the "Hand of God goal" and the "Goal of the Century." On the other hand, it is not strange at all because American football has been around in Mexico since the early 1920s and has been a fledging minority sport played mostly in the colleges and universities. And this has resulted in various leagues that have been faithfully organized through the years. The National Student Organization of American Football, or ONEFA (Organización Nacional Estudiantil de Fútbol Americano), for one, is a Mexican college league that has been thriving since 1978. Meanwhile, the Organizacion Mexicana de Football Americano, or OMFA, is a league made up of 10 teams from all over Mexico, which annually compete for the league championship and occasionally compete against semi-pro football teams from the U.S. There is also the Mexico national American football team, which competed in the American Football World Cup, held every four years since 1999. Mexico has finished second in the two editions it participated in, in 1999 and 2003.
But although American football has already taken root and has fruitfully flourished in Mexico, don't expect it to surpass or even match soccer's firm grip in the country. It will always be thought of as an engaging alternative pastime whose popularity has its own moments, like on that particular day in 2005, when the Arizona Cardinals eviscerated the San Francisco 49ers, 31-14, and thousands of people went totally loco watching it.

Where did the Mexican Flag Come From?
The current flag of Mexico has three stripes. It is green, white, and red with an emblem. The overall general design of the Mexican flag has been the same since 1821, but this flag was adopted in 1968.
The design in the center of the flag is the image of an eagle holding a snake. The eagle is sitting on a rock near a cactus in a lake. The Aztecs had a legend that their gods had told them to build a city where they saw an eagle with a snake. The legend says this is the city that became what is now Mexico City.
When it was originally created, the colors represented green for their independence from Spain. The color white represented the religion of Catholicism that is prominent in Mexico. The color red was intended to represent the Americas union with Europe. The meanings have changed over time and the current official definition of the flag gets around the problem by not assigning any meaning to the colors. Generally the colors are now thought to represent to be green for hope. The color white is considered to represent either unity or purity. The color red reminds the people of their religion or blood of heroes. Notice how the religion has been changed from white to red and is no longer specific to the Roman Catholic Church.
Up until 1968 Mexico used the tri-color flag without the emblem for many applications. However when they hosted the 1968 summer Olympics, this presented a problem. The flag that they were using in many areas was identical to the Italian flag. With the large number of people visiting for the summer games, this would not have looked good and could have caused a lot of confusion. To prevent confusion the current definition was adopted that requires the emblem with the eagle.
In 1995 the legal description of the Mexican flag was changed once again. The previous description stated that the eagle had to face to the left. At first this seems simple, but it does not take into account what will happen when the flag is viewed from the back. This may have been a simple oversite in the haste to get the flag changed before the Olympic games or maybe they originally expected the flag to be printed correctly on both sides. The definition didn't allow the back side of the flag to let the eagle to face right instead of left as it is on the front of the flag. I am not sure how the prevented people from seeing the back of the flag for all those years. After the 1995 change, the flag can be officially viewed from the front and the back.
