Ha. Our neighbors to the South will routinely argue over which Mexican State is the best. Often results in bloodshed in SoCal dining establishments catering to them.

Indeed. Actually, the cultural rift actually contributed to the formation of MS-13 and 18 gangs in California.

The 1969 Soccer War contributed to the El Salvadorian Civil War, which caused El Salvadorians to flee to California. Then, many El Salvadorians were jailed in California prison system without protection (the Mexican gangs of La Familia/Surenos/Nortenos would not protect them), so they formed their own gangs. MS-13 and 18 were formed.

Same dynamic in Houston TX and the formation of Tango Blast. All rejected non-Mexican latinos formed their own gang and became the most powerful Houston gang.

All over pride of national soccer.
