Mexican TV Station Blasts USNMT With Donald Trump Ad [Watch]
Mexican TV station Azteca aired a commercial blasting the United States soccer team with a little help from presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
According to Mediaite.com, Azteca's new commercial starts with Jimi Hendrix's version of the "Star-Spangled Banner." The commercial then cuts to Trump's infamous racist rant against Mexicans during his campaign announcement from earlier in the summer. The speech is combined with footage of the Mexican soccer team beating the United States soccer team in competitive play.
When Trump says "our country is in serious trouble," the commercial shows Mexican players scoring a goal against the United States. The commercial ends with Trump declaring that the American Dream is dead, which could mean the end of the United States as a soccer power.
The United States soccer team made it to the Round of 16 in last year's World Cup where they lost to Belgium 2-1. The Mexico soccer team was also eliminated in the Round of 16, losing to the Netherlands.

Despite his infamous rant, Trump has been surging in the polls.
According to CNN, he leads all Republican candidates for the presidential nomination with 30 percent. Neurosurgeon Ben Carson is a distant second with 19 percent. One of Trump's initiatives as president is to address the immigration problem, citing he wants to build a wall to protect the border and have Mexico foot the bill.
Mexico isn't the only enemy Trump has made. Women such as Megyn Kelly, Rosie O'Donnell and Carly Fiorina all felt the wrath of Trump during his campaign. Despite his sexist remarks towards them, Trump is actually gaining the women's vote in key states.
According to CNN, the United States and Mexico will face off in the 2017 Confederations Cup qualifier. It will be held in Pasadena, California on Oct. 10.
