There's a lot of anger and a lot of resignation.
And you see that in that people are walking through half-collapsed buildings trying to take couches out and their couches out, their refrigerators out of these buildings, knowing that it could collapse at any minute, but they feel like they're not going to get any help.
So they have to get what they can out of these buildings.
The day here started with men.
protests that choked traffic and it made it hard for anyone to get anywhere but Mexicans found a way and there is now sheer elation here.
Tens of thousands are gathered here cheering their national team.
Historically the Mexican team has been nothing but disappointment but here in the middle of this megapolis there is nothing but faith.
Eder Peralta, NPR News in Mexico City's Zocalo.
In Mexico, football is a religion, so the city is plastered with billboards featuring the country's soccer stars.
And it feels like everyone is wearing soccer jerseys, including the baby Jesus at the Metropolitan Cathedral.
But the city is also tense because one of the country's teachers' unions has set up a protest camp just outside the main fan zone.
They, along with other protest groups, have warned they may try to march toward the legendary Estadio Azteca, where the opening match will take place.
In the month-long tournament, Mexico and Canada will host 26 matches.
Beginning tomorrow, the U.S.
will host 78 games.
The favorites are who you might expect, Spain, France, Portugal, England, and the defending champion Argentina.
The U.S.
and Mexico are very likely to get out of the group stage, but it's hard to believe they'll make it much further than that.
But I'm not going to say that too loudly here.
Historically, the national team here has been nothing but disappointment, but this tournament is yet to start, so hope is intact.
