I'm pulling for Mexico


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Had lunch yesterday at La Unica in Huntersville (GREAT mexican joint btw) and didn't realize it was the same time that Mexico was playing.

 

That place was awesome. Tons of green jerseys everywhere and so many great sports fans. I don't like soccer at all but I found myself getting into it just from the ambient energy in the room.

 

 

So.... Go MEXICO! Up next, Brazil....

There is no doubt that Mexico has an admirable fan culture - it's hard not to appreciate it. But as an American soccer fan, let me make an analogy to illustrate how treasonous your comment sounds to an avid USMNT fan:

 

 

Had lunch yesterday at this bar in Atlanta (GREAT wings joint btw) and didn't realize it was the same time that the Falcons were playing.

 

That place was awesome. Tons of red and black jerseys everywhere and so many great sports fans. I don't like football at all but I found myself getting into it just from the ambient energy in the room.

 

 

So.... Go FALCONS! Up next, Cowboys...

 

 

I know that's not where you're coming from...just saying, it's tough to hear. Regardless, it's great that you experienced the excitement of watching a game at this level with serious fans. I do think it makes the game more attractive to the casual fan (or non-fan) when they see how passionate people are about the sport. It was like the first time I took my now wife back home to NC and watched a Duke-UNC game at a bar. She comes from SEC country where people give zero fugs about college basketball.

But I have NEVER seen any USA fans be this excited in a bar.

 

You've been going to the wrong bars then... we have plenty of hyped fans when the USMNT takes the stage.

 

 

I'd say they go even crazier when it's the women's team, for good reason - Alex Morgan and Hope Solo /drool.

Didn't take a video but this is how it was at that moment where I watched too. In the morning. On a work day.

I know there are good soccer bars in Charlotte.

Don't root for Mexico. They are our bitch.

So many bitter and envious Gringos.

Hey Delhommey, how many times has Mexico made The US our bitch, son? :lol: Stay down.

You should be more grateful to the team that permitted you to be in Brazil.

And Mexico dominating? Hah. When? The 90's?

Dos a cero.

    • Ummm not sure adding anther 5'9 180 pound soaking wet forward is the way to go here.....    
    • What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.
    • It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
