U.S. & Mexico: United by Soccer –

i’ve seen a couple pieces along the same lines (mostly “print” journalism), and i can’t help but think that this idea that “the u.s.-mex game could be a flashpoint of hateful jingoism” was motivated by some kind of perverted wishful thinking–something to sell more headlines.
hopefully it’s just that these people are totally ignorant of the main demographic of u.s. soccer fans (upper-middle-class, educated, center-to-left-leaning). pretty sure the worst “political” incident between the two sets of fans were when some mexico fans were chanting “OSAMA” after 9/11.
I wish WatchESPN still had its chat feature. Even though it was broken, it was nice to chat with the three other people who occasionally watch college soccer.
I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy, AMP. You’re a gentleman and a scholar.
Why hasn’t Klinsmann been fire yet?
How is that relevant to this thread?
It’s relevant until it happens. Thank you, Mr. Zip, for your significant contribution to this action-packed thread.
The more interesting question is: Who gets fired first?
-Jurgen Klinsmann
-Bob Bradley
Only positive thing today was Josh Perez made bench
