Bad blood in Mexico

ANOTHER LOW OF lows for the sport of soccer took place over the weekend in Mexico City.

Black eyes don't get much worse than this.

Never mind that the United States lost, 2-1, to host Mexico in a World Cup qualifier. It was Mexico's second win against an American team in their last nine meetings. Reason for Mexican fans to celebrate, granted.

But absolutely no reason for the behavior

of the Mexican crowd, which booed the

U.S. national anthem in pregame ceremonies, followed by a few fan groups among the near-capacity 100,000 strong chanting "Osama! Osama!" before play started, and after the lone U.S. goal.

Sick stuff.

Here's hoping soccer's international governing body never again awards Cup qualifying to a country that continues to show the world it knows not the definition of the word "sportsmanship."

well they have oil and are friends of al aeada. i see an invasion in the works. fuck mexico.

We had a home crowd booing one of our own players at the last game (Peter Møller, #32, who was brought in as a joker and ended up scoring 2 of the game's 3 goals) at the introduction. Soccer crowds are mobs - like any other sports crowds - their collective IQ is somewhere around the cubic root of the amount of people involved.

Lets see those beaners boo when they lose $2 billion from illegal alien money brought back from the U.S. and untold billions from Mexican government drug trafficing that gets shut down.

Arizona added 500 more official border patrol and starting today, 1,000 volunteer "minutemen" are patrolling.

A year ago it was proposed that if the U. S. government did not do something about illegal immigration, then citizens along the border would take things into their own hands. Now, we see that after April 1st, more than 1,000 volunteer civilian Minutemen, some of them legally armed, will be patrolling the border between Arizona and Mexico. President Bush may refer to the Minutemen as "vigilantes," but face the fact: People will take affairs into their own hands when the government refuses to protect them.

Stay the fuck out of Arizona!11!1

All of your drugs are about to go way up in price : )

The aren't Arizonans...they're hicks from all the other states.

You know, I feel so strongly on the imagration issue, I would be willing to fight in a Mexican American war...

Ebumar just wants to be captured by a band of horny Mexicans and gang-raped...

Would be risky fighting a war with mexico considering they have half their fucking population in the US already ;(

mexico itself wouldnt be a problem, they have a nice sized army but it's outdated and they have NO airforce. but imagine fighting an iraq style insurgency inside the US. either way i am down for kicking the crap out of those bastards.

Must be the heat, the further south you go, the more stupid people per capita (cold takes more work to survive than hot).

Of course before some Canadian talks smack, you are way to french to go there.

Must be some exception for MN, the entire state is retarded.

Actually the Twin Cities area in MN is considered to be one of the most intelligent areas to live in the United States.

And stay out!

OTTAWA -- It's too early to urge Canadians to rush out and get passports in response to U.S. plans to tighten border security, the federal government says. Officials said yesterday feedback from interested parties and U.S.-Canada negotiations will ultimately determine -- likely months from now -- what kind of identification will be needed to enter the United States.

The U.S. government announced a proposal this week that would require all Canadian visitors to have a passport "or other accepted secure document" by Jan. 1, 2008. People arriving from Canada by air or sea would need such a document by Jan. 1, 2007.

We need a high speed train that shuttles mexicans from the US/Mexico border to the Canadian border. If they can cut trees or gut fish, they'll find work in the Great White North.

Wanna talk about sportsmanship?

In the NHL playoffs a few years back, the NY Islander fans chanted and bood during the Canadian national anthem.
When the series shifted to Toronto, the US anthem received a standing ovation

IIRC this incident happened just a few days after an American bombed a military training excercise in Afghanistan and killed a number of Canadian soldiers....

Oh noes! We need ID to cross the boarder?

Oh wait. We already do. I guess they want the boarder guards to actually LOOK at them from now on.

Well, that's great. Now the US is protected from terrorists who use official channels, travel only through official boarder crossings, but can't be arsed to get a passport.

Sleep soundly, America. You are now protected from at least 0.0046% of terror threats.

There was also that time Toronto won the world series, and Atlanta "accidently" raised the canadian flag upside down.

Canadians found that hilarious, because it suggested that Americans think that the rest of the world is as obsessed with pretty designs on cloth like they are.

If you guys made it so your pot leaf was sideways on your flag it wouldn't matter!
