There may have been a couple over excited Mexicans with some rather jubilant celebrations on the red card

But this is the real Mexico. Their fans and their people are just beautiful and absolutely incredibly welcoming people.

A pleasure to be here and spend time with you all the past few days

Ask Wangus about going to a US Mexico game at the Azteca, it is not a few isolated fans.

All fan bases have good and bad fans. Mexico just has a lot more bad fans than people want to admit this world cup.

Mexico is the LSU version of soccer fans. Most are polite but …..

bad analogy. You can't compare them to LSU then say "most are polite".

in case ya'll needed another reason to hate mexico



If we do bid for 2038, which it sounds like we are going to, I hope Mexico is left out of the equation. Would be funny if the US and Canada put in a bid without them.

Let me stop you right there…

We don't need Canada either.

This video is nuts as well.

Complete opposite of what I expected post-game.

Gotta go with the family heritage here. Vamos Espana! I'm hoping CR7 runs very little and touches the ball very little today.

And the reasoning is we can easily expand the footprint with supplemental stadiums to account for more teams/games during group stage. And thats just today, and not even accounting for any new stadiums they will be building over the next 5-10 years.

I'm gonna suggest Portugal, and that CR plays just well enough that he stays in the lineup going forward.

Since this match is played west of the line established by the Treaty of Tordesillas, this one goes to Spain.

Portugal is ranked 8th and Spain is ranked #2 so I say go with the underdog Portugal.

Dont get me wrong....I know we don't need Canada.

It would just be really dang funny, and make Mexico look real bad, if the two of us did happen to bid together, and did so without the trashy little brother. Kind of an international recognition of their embarrassment.

Wait they just said Spain are unbeaten in 34 matches. Give me Spain. We know how to end their long winning streaks

Spain will have two different 35 game undefeated streaks.

Both streaks will be broken by USMNT.

It could be that your purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others. Explains why I come with a warning label. Life is short, drink jager with red bull.

Some absolutely amazing games, but all of this fake flopping completely ruins it. They need to get rid of it, otherwise, IMO will never be massively popular in the US.
