If your goal was to look like an ill informed idiot on the soccer board, then mission accomplished.

I've been pulling for CR and Honduras, but it'll be a cold day in Hell before I pull for Mexico to ever get a point.

Calling yourself enlightened (and misspelling it even after correcting someone else's misspelling), doesn't exactly bode well for you.

Everyone in Concacaf doing well is good for the US, and that incudes Mexico. It helps us in the rankings, It makes the Gold cup more important, It makes the CCL better.

OK, but England is still not a soccer power. That's what threw me.

I am definitely rooting for Costa Rica. I loved it while I was there for a vacation, and they are representing CONCACAF very well.

I don't hate them just because they are fans of Mexico. I hate them trying to hurt our players and fans.

Jed is trolling the frick out of this board without even really trying.

FWIW, I do consider Mexico to be obviously our biggest rival, and would never root for them, but this board does have a bit of a "OMG I hate Mexicans even more than you do!" complex.

I thought I hated Messicans as much as the next red blooded "Merican, but I will admit that I was pulling for them against Brazil.

I want to think that it had as much to do with Brazil as much as rooting for Messicans, but I did root for El Tri in that game.

or an arrogant, uppity prick.

You know/ should know most people on this board don't "Hate" mexico as a country or its people.
They do not like (if you think hate is too strong of a word) their team or the fans when watching that team play USA. It has been well documented that these fans have treated our team and fans like shite.

quote:

Hating someone for rooting for a sporting team is pretty sad.

I don't think anyone on here has mentioned hating on a person, just a team. And I certainly didn't as I only said that they don't rout for the opposing team which is not childish unless you think this whole dedicated to sports thing is childish. But i guess the 'enlighted" one missed that.
And if the hate is directed at fans, Mexican fans well deserve it as they have literally through shite/ piss/ throw up among other things at US fans including women and children during matches.
But as been mentioned on the last hate on team mexico thread. most everyone likes mexicans, mexicans-americans. just not their fans during games.


quote:

I get it though. The hate isn't real, at least I hope it isn't. For the most part, it's all just message board fodder.


Then why come here and be a douche with condescending comments? Just to be an a-hole?

Sweet life man

No doubt, Brasilia was embarassing against Croatia. Just a complete disgrace to the sport.

It might be over the top but that's half the fun of a message board. Or a watch party or really any gathering of fans

I do not understand the cheering for a rival thing. To me, the person does not consider them a rival. I could never cheer for UF, FSU, Falcons, Cowboys, or Mexico, etc.

Unless im put in a Mexico- USA situation that i have to have them do something that could benefit my team

But yes Jed is trolling or being a douche

Why was the city of Brasilia embarrassing?

Also, why can't your enlightened mind spell embarrassing?
