Have you ever been to US-Mexico soccer match, probably not. There are things said from both sides, the old slogan the US Fans always say in the matches is remember is"Remember the Alamo". US fans boo & mock the Mexicans National Anthem, since 1968 . Go to a game, before you pass judgement. US fans are not the innocent victims you portrayed them to be. Mexico has been playing soccer International longer & been in more World Cups than USA. If US wants to compete in the International Arena, they have to developed a little thick skin. Because Fans in the Americas & European Countries do alot more than boo & chant, they get physcial.

How about you all stop trying to make it seem as though Mexicans are the enemy? There are tons of ignorant answers on this page!! Yes, some people, not just Mexicans (which is a very broad term by the way) do disrespectful things. Truthfully, the US has screwed up too. Think back to the Chinese Exclusion Acts, Slavery, Native Americans. People are intolerant all over the world.

Because they hate America and are devout Marxist's. The poor peasant population with no real chance at good lives in there own backward, broke and corrupt third world country wish they could be like us, but as shown by there ignorance and bigotry. Osamas attack upon us is something they wish they did, but cant since they cant even feed themselves or birth their baby's on their own, they project some sort of sick power through Osama. Its like having a rich uncle uptown, there envious and powerless themselves.

It's tatic to get into the heads of the players, yes its lame but fans in Mexico and other countries do some bad things to the oppositon, during the world cup in Mexico 86 bomb threats were called into the hotels were the opposing teams were staying to evacuate them in the middle of the night.

My guess is like many across the world they are ignorant to the reality of what Osama is about, Its shocking being how much we know, but those who have not experienced Al quedas brutality and heartlessness can not understand as we do. They are taught by their leaders that we are the evil ones. Along with many other countries. Some countries even teach it in schools.

Mexicans are pretty pissed off at us, because of people like you. But yeah they should have been more respectful. It's not like they don't have any mistakes.
