Mexico has been sanctioned by FIFA for the ongoing homophobic fan chant, according @ale_orvananos.

As punishment, #ElTri will play without fans during their first two World Cup Qualifiers against Jamaica and Panama in September.

Correction: Mexico will play their first two home matches behind closed doors vs Jamaica and Canada.

It be nice if they got a penalty for throwing projectiles as well.

Jamaica could be dangerous if they secure some of those dual nationals they’ve been pursuing

Canada's probably one of the 3 or 4 best teams.

Which players of note do they have (or will have) besides Leon Bailey?

Michail Antonio was on the list at one point.

If they land him, I'd be nervous going into matches vs Jamaica.

There were a handful of players but i think it was just a bullshite article and none will go through with it
Two of them I remember were Ivan Toney and Kemar Roofe

It wasn’t bullshite

All of them qualify for Jamaica and basically have no shot at playing for England other than Max Aarons

I love how they get punished for a harmless chant instead of getting punished for throwing projectiles at players on the field that could seriously injure someone.

Political correctness is a beautiful thing!

It's honestly a real shame. He's one of my favorite players.
I feel like he'd be a fantastic super-sub at the international level.

I'm assuming those 2 qualifiers were going to be in Mexico...right? Otherwise this punishment makes no sense.

The precedent has been set though. If it keeps up, FIFA will frick around less and less


It is funny that this what is most likely to get FIFA to act. Not the fact that away fans have to be protected by riot police in games in Azteca.
