@coltcub64 exactly. eng. playing arg. in south america is a defenite home game for arg end of.

gold cup was played in an atmosphere Unfriendly to the USA

btw what exactly is "straight up american" some kind of "la raza" thing? next youll be on about fake english genetics!

[troddsy]

@coltcub64 so youre saying latino and mexico have nothing in common? and "straight up american" what does that mean?! "straight up" is slang for something right?

to the world watching it was a heavily favored crowd of Mexico supporters playing an Away game against the USA who was playing supposedly at home meaning its a Home game for USA...but obviously wasnt!

stereotypes? european references have CA. and TX. as very much mexican influenced!

[coltcub64]

@troddsy, The game was in Pasadena, California. Southern Calfornia. That area of the country is more of a latino percentage than straight up American. You pretty much gave about 15 stereotypes that couldn't be more false.

@troddsy Meh, USA is a greater Mexico. The US were terrible crowd had nothing to do with it.

[troddsy]

@MillardTi of course its splendid a small intelligentsia dictating a world renowned game in a country obsessed with 12 packs of bad beer country music idling motorcycles whilst figuring the nightly rental at the local liqour store fast food chains,the lot. a country in Need of culture and football preference over rounders and nfl. revolutionary in many ways actually just look at the recent gold cup that was Home game? for the USA? could england play a Home game in venezuela against arg?

[MillardTi]

@troddsy Splendid? A country with 300+ million people only making Round? It's hardy splendid.
