OK so the guy who asked Bob Bradley the question about "90%" of the fans being for Mexico actually writes for an Australian newspaper and he views the Gold Cup final as the first nail in the coffin of Australia's world cup bid.

unfortunately I can't post a link to the article but if you go to my channel's homepage you'll find it

When the US Soccer Team plays Mexico in cities like New York, Chicago, Dallas, and Los Angeles there is always going to be a huge Mexican turnout. Mexican fans are more loyal and passionate about their team than the US.

im a mexican american and i respect this man brady, albeit i was rooting for mexico.

i do not, however appreciate the hurtful tone used by the British reporter, accusing americans of not supporting their team.

i have many (white)american freinds who are very passionate about soccer and their soccer team. soccer is an exquisite sport, and only the most classy of Americans seem to understand, and you see that class in how the US plays, wins and loses.

viva USA 08

viva Mexico 09

here it comes dude if the us bring the "A" team it wouldn't had made a difference. the us fans are more bussy with basketball, football and even swimming to pay attention to the us soccer team. every time us plays they. it seems that they are the away team. it doesn't matter A or Z team

[mexicofuckusa]

mexicans will travel too!to see mexico FUCK THE USA!!

[ChrisPartida]

well said

[jdelgado15]

Absolutely! But, I am doubtful it will ever happen because the U.S. is not a soccer nation. The U.S. is built around the NFL, NBA, MLB way over the MLS. Hopefully with time it will one day be a sport to be passionate about in the U.S.

[yeimx]

and do you think that U.S should do the same

[largetuna14]

at this point not enough us fans are passionate enough to go to a tournament which wasnt on a major network and wasnt the "a" team you would see a different turnout for wcq i hope they can bring more games to ny i went to both the final and the us argentina game they were a blast go usa!

Thats normal for USA soccer kinda pisses me off but I know the fans are out there.

It just makes play better at our away games.

I remember Iran playing USA in Los angeles

They dominated there also in fans

Dont trip on this Loss

USA will be strong in Mexico unless we get burned by the referee. and get a red card in the first min.

Bradley has done perfection with this Team that will be playing in Mexico. Be prepared Mexico and stop hating on your neighbor.
