MexSoxFan#1 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) And that only happens in Azteca and nowhere else? You've never heard of violence in other soccer nations? Is this real life? Does the word 'hooligan' mean something to you? I guess it's cool if some Scottish thugs beat an Irish bloke's skull in because, well, he wasn't an American fan of USMNT... My point is, there are worse fanbases around the world but I never hear you guys b**** about them. Dat hypocrisy. I'm not trying to be a dick, it's just a pet peeve of mine and a reason I don't like discussing soccer year round in this thread. Too much of an anti-Mexican vibe here TBH. Anyways, both our teams are out, let's enjoy the rest of the WC. Edited July 2, 2014 by MexSoxFan#1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, both our teams are out, let's enjoy the rest of the WC. I think the fans of the National team are amongst the worse in the world and that is based upon their treatment of our players and their treatment of other teams. Clearly there are insane fans everywhere, however, no team has regularly treated our team poorer then when we visit Mexico. I can't comment on how the US team is treated in Argentina because that is a rarity. They are also our primary rivals in the region which is another reason for my complete and utter dislike of Mexico's squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, both our teams are out, let's enjoy the rest of the WC. Oh, DAT logic. "Yeah, well others are worse so why bring up ours!" The US and Mexico are arch rivals in soccer. The Mexicans have a pretty fierce rivalry with Costa Rica as well, but this is Red Sox/ Yankees, Cubs/ Sox, Duke/UNC etc of soccer for the US. How could there not be anti-opposition sentiment? I doubt Joe Mexican living in roots for the US. I bet more often than not he actively roots against them too.

The office above mine was having some sort of viewing party, there was a slight delay on the internet so you could hear them cheering through the walls whenever something happened before it was on my computer, lol.

Decided it was enough just knowing you guys got thoroughly outclassed. Yeah right, it just took you that long to get your dial up working.

zenryan Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 MLS can be entertaining. I'm excited about Orlando City joining MLS next season. They just signed Kaka yesterday. And with the new soccer specific stadium being built for the start of 2016, this is really the perfect time for me to really get into MLS.

Any chance you'd want to go to a game in Chicago in November or February?

No, but going in person is fun. The Fire don't have the atmosphere of Seattle, Portland or KC (I've been to KC, it was unreal), but they typically will get good crowds when the weather is nice and it's fun.
