Saying that you must hate Mexico to be a real American fan is silly. They are a rival, but I don't care enough about them to hate them. Unless we are playing them, they're not on on my radar. Not saying that my line of thinking is necessarily the right one. Hate who you want.

A lot of guys on here want this sport to grow and gain more fans, but when they find out a casual soccer fan rooted for what seemed to be like an underdog (which is a natural instinct in sports) they want to chew their arse out and accuse them of not being a real fan.

Better than telling you to go to the Azteca by yourself to catch a match. You're welcome. It's Murica or Mexico boys. Choose.

Let's be honest, there is a lot of trumped up hate for Mexico because US soccer fans want a rivalry so they can mimic our European and South American counterparts. It's a little forced. Doesn't mean we shouldn't hate them, but most of the people claiming to hate them have no first hand experience.
