A game Tuesday in neighboring Guadalajara will determine whether the U.S. under-23 soccer team heads to the Athens Games.

"This is what it is all about," coach Glenn Myernick said. "You are 90 minutes away from being in the Olympics."

Outside of Mia Hammmmmmmm, I never thought I'd have a reason to cheer soccer. Glad they shut out the a-holes.

Cool we beat the worthless Canucks too.

Let the Mexican's come play a game in the US so we can chant "Pick some strawberries".

They still can't get over the ass-kicking we gave them in 2002 to knock them out of the World Cup.

2-0 baby---cry us a river.

Don't be so upset. They lost, so they're just cheering for the mascot of losers.

Can we order air strikes after the U.S. team leaves? Serially, that is so classless.

Mexico is fast shaping up to be Americas enemy.

Are they sure that's a role they can fill well?

Way past time, if you ask me.

Of course the f***ers that already made it up here are no better, booing and spitting on the US National team, burning US flags, and waving around the Italian Restuarant table cloth with the buzzard and the worm drawing

RIGHT HERE in LA during an exhibition game between the US and May-heeeco in 2001.

Neither do the English soccer hooligans, and I guess you stereotype all the English as having no class.

At about the 80th minute of that game, Sam's Army started chanting "Adios Amigos!" (rhythmic drum beats) "Adios Amigos!" (rhythmic drum beats) ...

It was pretty funny and I'm sure that didn't help their mood.

Don't worry, any that cross the border will be immediately returned and/or punished for breaking our laws.

I almost said that with a straight face.

I guess you also would classify all English as low, due to the behavior of the English soccer hooligans.

It's funny that the U.S. and Mexico started out on a level playing field. Now we are the Richest, most powerful nation on Earth and look what happened to Mexico. There people are fleeing the country in droves because it is so corrupt and broke.

I understand what you're saying but he better be worrying about the vote's he got the 1st time, you know the Conservatives that have backed him since day 1. I don't have anything against immigrants if they come here legally, but if they don't send them back!

And yet the administration wants to be nice to them. Did Chirac rub off on Bush? What the heck is going on?

What do you mean shaping up to be, WE have been enemies since the 1800's but haven't fought any real battles since the early 1900's, of course there have been a few incursions across borders since then.

In Laz's hyperbolic mind, IMO.

BTW, why the silence on the true violent soccer fans of the world, the English soccer hooligans.

I guess you judge people by the behavior of their soccer fans. I don't.

Evidently Bush and Rove got an earful on 1/29 when they met with Republican congressmen. The article I read said many of them really unloaded on Rove about the amnesty thing. Bush reportedly said he wasn't doing it for votes but because he thought it was good for the US.

Hopefully the WH is figuring out this thing isn't wildly popular not matter what El Presidente Vincente thinks.

You judge a whole people by their soccer fans, also. Why don't you declare war on the English since they have the most violent soccer fans in the world, but thank you for posting on this thread. The hyperbolic and xenophobic remarks shown all because of a soccer game shows your racism shining through and go to your own political party, you aren't welcomed in mine.
