which crappy team are you rooting for? the country we should go to war with or the country that has successfully invaded the US?

They both hate us. Let's hope for a 0-0 tie

How about some red cards too.

Crappy? Mexico is not a crappy team. If Mexico is a crappy team then the USA is a crappier team because the odds of Mexico's winning the World Cup are better than the US. From what you read on the FIFA website they are expected to do well.

Basically, we don't like Mexico because they throw human waste at our players amongst other things.

Talk about Class.

The odds are about as correct as the FIFA Rankings.

I'm always for Mexico except when they face the US.

i would like to see a high scoring tie, maybe like 3-3 just for entertainment purposes. I would like neither to make it out of the first round, but that doesnt seem very likely at all.

Ahhh the good ol mother land.... I hope they lose and lose bad

I am cheering for a comet, earthquake, mass nausea with projectile vomiting.

Mexico is a crappy team that we beat like a drum. The reason they have better odd to win is the bs draw that they received

I'm with Mookie.

I have no idea who I dislike more. Maybe it'll be a "feel" thing when the game starts.

I'm just not watching it.

i dont even have it, what channel is it on?

It is on CBS.

Mark me down as rooting for Mexico.

This is not good for Mexico. Mexico's best striker, Borgetti, just left the game against Iran with a tweaked hamstring.

It is better to remain silent and presumed ignorant, than open your mouth and remove all doubt, Abe Lincoln.

borgetti is soft, that was no surprise

you have to root for mexico, iran is the anti christ

Borgetti is not soft.

It is better to remain silent and presumed ignorant, than open your mouth and remove all doubt, Abe Lincoln.

oh then excuse me, he looks soft because he's a typical latin diver...

what channel is this on in english in college station? the only place i can find it is the spanish channel. theres some gospel show on abc. ****in cox.

oh and muck fexico. ill be rooting for the meteor too.

we are in the football other board

its amazing what ignorance does to people...no wonder why many countries hate the US and its arrogance. The next time you feel like bashing a country, why don't you try actually visiting there and quit believing everything you hear from the media. Why don't you open your eyes and look around...the world does not revolve around you or the US.

i don't hate mexico. They supply dishwashers and yard help.

mex, you're welcome to go back home, anytime. No one is keeping you here.

Why would I want to visit Mexico when they're all already here?

How do you know this isn't home ozarker? Are only white people from the US?

Padz;
Just wondering. Have you ever played soccer? Diving is part of the game. The ref (center) is the one that controls that.

I control it two ways: 1) They usually get the message when you run right by and the play continues. When they hollar and play stops, go back to the player and tell him or her, "that looked like a 'bad' dive, and the next one is a card." 2) Cards for dives are also effective.

I watched the '02 World Cup and convinced the Irish striker Duff was fouled in the box. The luck of the Irish prevailed: he nailed the PK and Ireland tied the game. The replay showed 4 views of the same play. Three of the views lead the viewer to believe Duff was fouled, but the last view showed no doubt that "Duff dove!" Some are even good enough to foul the best referees in the world.

"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man," Psalm 118:8.

one of the better games of the Cup so far- the game winner is the worst goal of the cup due to the pathetic turnovr by Iran- Mexico and Portugal are moving on

Worst goal.........try the Iranian goal............Mexico played well enough to win the game vs a pesky Iranian team.

Then maybe he should act like it. He lives in America? He's an American. He should yell for the USA first, and if other people don't like Mexico, who the hell is he to question it? The yelling police?

It's not politically incorrect to not yell for Mexico, or is it?

NJ75,

yes i have played soccer, and i understand it's part of the game, just happens to be part of the game i despise (of course, being a physical defender that i was, no surprise it bugs me)

Could you please point out where in this thread he said he yells for Mexico and not the US?

Exactly...I didn't say I didn't root for the US. I am from Mexico...therefore that is my homecountry...and I will root for them all the way. If the US team does well...good for them, considering that the majority of the people here in this country doesn't give a dam about soccer. I also didn't say thay you can't have an opinion...if you don't like Mexico..its your opinion. But if really thinkg about it, just because you see a latino/hispanic person here doesn't mean he/she is mexican. There are other countries that are latin as well (Honduras,Equador, Colombia, El Salvador etc...) They all have their share of illegals here but I don't see anyone pointing out their nationality? And by the way...I am an American Citizen and this is where I live. If you think I should go home...why don't we send Nowitzki back to Germany since he doesn't play for the US team...or how about Ginobli back to the Argentina, or Parker to France, or etc, etc. Are they not Americans either since I'm sure they are rooting for their home country to win?

The arrogance displayed by the Mexicans every time we play them is enough for me to hate the Mexican team, despite the fact that we routinely kick their ass. When you throw in that friendly "Osama" chant that the Mexican pricks serenaded us with at Azteca, that pretty much cements it for me. I was rooting for Iran. At least they showed some class after they beat us in the 98 WC and it's not their fault that their president is a maniacal POS. The best the Mexicans can do is threaten to kill Landon Donovan's mother. So explain to me, MexAg, what I'm missing here.

There's no need for the kind of trashing going on. Some of you are being real pr*cks.

hating a sports team (or its fans) is no excuse for racism or racist behavior.
