Mexico was dominant in the beginning and had a record of 22-2-2 from the year 1980. Since then, it has grown more competitive, mostly due to the rapid development and popularity of soccer within the United States. Since 2000 the series has been heavily favored by US soccer U.S. 17-9-6 (W-L-D) in which Mexico defeated 32-40. Since 2011, the rivalry has been characterized by Mexican successes, with the Mexico team defeating their counterparts from the United States in the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final in 2011 and to win the CONCACAF Cup in 2015, winning on American ground in the very first time since the year 1980.

Mexico's fans are well-known for their "!eeeh puto! " that is usually shouted when a goalie of an opponent is about to execute the goal kick.
The chant's origins is believed to have begun in the 80s in Monterrey where , during small league American football matches fans would chant "!eeeh pum!" at the beginning of kickoffs. The chant is not meant to be disparaging or slammed as the word "pum" is believed to refer to an influence of some kind. Although the current version that the song is believed to have been conceived of as having originated in the period between 2001 and 2003, by fans of Atlas F.C. in the past Atlas goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez, no reliable sources are available to back this assertion, and is considered to be an urban myth. The first time that we have seen puto being performed from fans using this way was recorded on May 22nd 2004 in the second game of the Clausura 2004 repechage game against Cruz Azul and C.F. Pachuca. The fans of Pachuca frequently chanted "Puto" every moment Oscar Perez performed a goal kick.
Because of the homophobic connotations that the term puto has to mean homophobic in Mexican Spanish (a vulgar term for prostitutes of males) The chant was met with criticism during this year's FIFA World Cup. Mexican fans have defended it, citing it as being a common occurrence within the Liga MX. On June 23, 2014, FIFA dismissed an investigation concluding that the song "was not considered offensive in the context of the particular incident". Football Against Racism in Europe, an organization that fights discrimination and a critic of the decision, described the ruling in the press as "disappointing". In the year 2017 in advance of the 2018 World Cup, FIFA fined the Mexico football federation for fans who chanted the song and also introduced sanctions that escalated, that were first used during Liga MX games in 2019. In 2021 three Mexico international matches played in Mexico's United States were halted because of fan behavior and included those in the CONCACAF Nations League final, during which fans throwing objects onto the pitch as well. Giovanni Reyna was hit in the face by a large object. On June 18, 2021 FIFA declared that as an apprehension for the usage of the chant during the pre-Olympics event in Guadalajara fans were barred from Mexico's initial two qualifying games for the 2022 World Cup.
