Will Mexicans cheer 'Osama' again?

U.S. soccer team to play for Olympic spot in Guadalajara

Things could get ugly in Guadalajara tomorrow when the U.S. soccer team plays Mexico for Olympic qualification.

Last Thursday, when the U.S. played Canada in a qualifying round in Zapopan before 1,500 Mexicans, the crowd hooted "The Star-Spangled Banner," it booed U.S. goals. And it chanted "Osama! Osama! Osama" as the American players left the field with a 2-0 victory.

Tomorrow, 60,000 fans are expected to watch the game that will determine which team goes to Athens.

The Mexicans are hoping for revenge. The U.S. team knocked Mexico out of the World Cup in 2002.

The Guadalajara police are already mobilizing to control highly charged soccer fans and to protect U.S. team players in case things get out of hand.

THE U.S. VS MEXICO On February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro Mexican even though most lived in this country. They booed during the National Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down. As the match progressed, supporters of the U.S. team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and after the match. The coach of the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession.

I hope the US team opens a can of real 'shock and awe' ass-whuppin' on them on the soccer field.

Sadly, we lost

From what I read, although Pakistan is very dangerous, its leader is trying desperately to work with us. And what's with Russia?

I believe it was the World Cup a couple of years ago.

Wow, that was quite a statement made by Mexicans and what is the failure in gaining citizens from next door.

They leave, but it is easy to come back, so no allegiance is formed.

When you live in Europe or Asia, lot's of more trouble to come and go. Makes for a more determined immigrant who wants to stay here IMO!

I am disappointed in the Mexicans who said they would choose Mexico.
I think they are great family people and we should be grateful we don't live next door to Muslim head-hunters.

Mexicans:
Kill lots of people at their own southern boarder.
Have done nothing to change the corrupt system they have and seem to change heads of power between their mob family heads.

What you said was a disappointing truth to hear 6...

I want oil still in exchange for all these paid benefits for their people here in America.
Or at least free gardening and lavor for all citizens of the US who have to withstand the draw on our public funds by them.

Without reading all 3,000 posts, what part of this thread about Al Qaeda should I read to learn why Russia is our enemy?
