TV Azteca have cut together some of Donald Trump’s most memorable lines, from how the American dream is dead to the supposed quality of Mexican immigrants, before playing them over memorable victories for the Mexican team.

Watch the provocative advert here.

The game in question is a playoff for a place in the 2017 Confederations Cup as the CONCACAF representative.

In a rivalry that has seen incidents ranging from tunnel scuffles to Mexico fans chanting “Osama, Osama, Osama” back in 2004, nothing appears to be off the table.

The USA can at least claim to have the edge on the pitch though, being unbeaten in their last six meetings, winning on three occasions.

The match will take place on October 10th at The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
