Sad day to be an American. The entire stadium packed with Mexicans, probably many of them here illegally and pushing drugs. The US goes up 2-0 and then seemingly quits. The Mexican players show more pride on the field and there fans show more pride in the stands as they easily score 4 goals to take the game.

But, hey, keep celebrating multiculturalism, liberals! It's working really well, isn't it? We're the laughing stock of the world. Anyone who saw that game would see the US as a pathetic nation of zombies who have no pride.

GREAT stereotyping! I'm certain that the reason we are a laughing stock is based solely on our play on the pitch and not by statements such as that...

The U.S. is a "pathetic nation of zombies" because we have the NFL lockout, the NBA Draft, the NHL Draft, and MLB all going on in the summer. Soccer is only a recreational sport here, and because of that we will never be a soccer power. Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to see us win a World Cup or two, but when you're going up against a nation like Colombia, where a player was murdered because he scored an own goal on an unlucky play that cost his team a chance at getting past the GROUP STAGE, I think it's safe to say the United States will always be overmatched.

How is it stereotyping? There ARE a lot of Mexicans in the US who are here illegally and pushing drugs. There were some tens of thousands of Mexicans at the game. I can surely assume that they weren't just the legal ones who are decent people.

Also it has nothing to do with the fact they loss. The problem is the team had little support. NBA, NFL and NHL seasons are over and I don't know enough about the MLB to know if they're playing or not. How does the stadium end up filled with Mexicans?

It's pathetic. Why are the Mexicans in this country if they don't support the US? How do you not see any problems with this?

Wow, I disagree with just about everything you said in this post. However, since it is almost 1:30 am, I will make the dumb decision to respond...

1. You followed up a question about the definition of stereotyping with a generalization.

2. FYI, I'm sure there are plenty of illegal immigrants who are decent people just doing whatever they can to make a living for their families back home, but that's a debate for the Tinderbox and if you're any indication, I should stay as far away from there as possible...

3. The stadium ends up filled with fans of Mexico because they CARE ABOUT THE GAME LIKE THEIR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT and we like to send our five year olds to the local rec league fields on Saturdays to have them kick a ball around for exercise. I believe the term is "Soccer Mom."

4. So since the Mexicans moved to the U.S. for a better opportunity, they should forget about their heritage? If you were to move to England, would you give up rooting for the U.S.?

Wow, what a sore loser. It's a game and you have bring issues that are not relevant to the game... loser talk. The USA gave a great game. They punched Mexico in the mouth. Mexico just responded instead of backing down. It speaks volumes of American futbol, they are showing plenty of progress. I don't know what game you were watching, but the USA never back down. They were more aggressive in the second half.

The only reason the USA would be the laughing stock of the world, would be because of close minded jerk offs that attack others just because of their nationality. You act like Americans don't push drugs.. also, are you seriously this stupid? Pasadena is like 4 hours from the border... read a history book while you're at it.. California belonged to Mexico once. I'm willing to bet that a lot of the Mexicans there are 3rd to 4th generation Mexican-American... Damn someone get this fellow an umbrella, because its raining cold hard facts in here.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
