Just heard on CNN that at the end of the soccer game in Mexico yesterday that the Mexican crowd started chanting Osama Osama during the game.

You shouldn't call them "Mexican". That's racist. They have every right to call out Osama Bin Laden. Just let them be.

How is calling a person from Mexico a Mexican racist?

Still think Texas should take over Mexico, kick em all to South America and make serious tourism money from the beach resorts.

Oh and also they want to talk so much trash about the US but many of them or dying daily just to get over here.

Good one. Sad to hear they made winning a platform to launch emotional and irrational sentiments. See what any country would say if they had two of their own planes crash into their head of state or major city. They wil be calling out to the US no doubt.

They have shamed themselves.

Well soccer fans around the world are historically very unruly. I truly believe the "osama" chant was meant as an evilly tinged mock at the American team. Just a way for the crowd to try to break their concentration. But honestly who cares about the drunks in the stands.

Sounds like it was a good game although it was a thorough ass woopin. Although I strongly doubt we will have another 40 year period where the U.S. loses every match to Mexico. The ability to compete on the world circuit in a game that is not traditionaly American is a credit to the diversity of this country. By being able to tap into the talents of so many different people of differing backgrounds the U.S. can be competitive in any field.

Sorry to hear that you don't care about the game 2001frontier. It is the only game that is truly a world competition. Americans are famous for calling their teams world champions when they only compete against themselves and maybe canada. I do have to admit I don't watch it much but then again I prefer to play sports not watch.

Bring a baseball or football team from anywhere that can beat our professional championship teams and we won't call ourselves world champs anymore Ivan. :rolleyes:

I've always thought that same thing. You're not competing against the world, you're competing within your own nation (sometimes continent). The point isn't whether or not the U.S. could spank another country's team (they could easily, I'm sure), but that it's not a world league. When you play against the world and win, you're world champions. When you play within your nation and win, you're national champions.

The notion can't be that hard to grasp.

Football (soccer to the uneducated) is not a family sport. Anything offensive is chanted or thrown at the opposing supporters.

To the Germans: Two world wars and one world cup, laah laah

To the Argentines: Argentine, Argentine, whats it like to lose a war.

I could be wront, but it's only major league baseball that does that. And why not? I was invented here, it's our past time and it's a given that no one is better than us professionally at it. Like Frontier said, bring someone here that beats us consistantly (no one time "miracle") and we'll gladly remove that name.

Are you a limey, Lemmy? laugh

Nismo, the winners of the championships for the big four (Football, Baseball, Basketball and Hockey) all refer to themselves and are referred to as World Champions. It's just one of those arrogant American things.

and the crowd was...

AT A SOCCER GAME INSTEAD OF WORKING...AT A SOCCER GAME INSTEAD OF WORKING... AT A SOCCER GAME INSTEAD OF WORKING!

i agree with people overreacting when peoples are called out by their nationality. i could care less if someone called me an american, i am proud of where i am from. hell, i'm proud to be a yankee too [transplant] and who gives a damn about being called white, i am white, it's actually starting to be worse than anything else lately. i've actually had blacks get pissed when i called them african-americans, and latinos get pissed when i called them mexicans. you know, if you can't win, don't play find something else to bitch about and then realize that you are doing NOTHING, stop bitching get off of your ass and make some food, get the paper, run a mile, just DO SOMETHING.

So maybe they changed it in recent years. So what? I've seen it in the past, and it's still a term used widely in the sports media:

From ESPN today: "The reigning world champion Lakers..."

Hardly.
