Hooray! I didn’t know they were playing. I’d have loved to watch. Soccer is fun to watch.

Hank Hill: Soccer is a game invented by French women to give them something to do while their husbands cooked dinner.

Great game. Although the game was played in Chicago, the crowd made it look like a home game for Mexico.

I don’t care about soccer at all, but anything that pisses off the illegals is fine with me.

They threw cups of piss on our players in the past and chanted, “Osama”

Unfortunately for the U.S., the U.S. Soccer’s next matches are against South American countries, and the U.S. is bringing their second string players and third string players to these matches instead of bringing their best players.

I hope ICE conducted a thorough sweep of the crowd.

Mexican player has collapsed. I guess that was the guy in the collision with Spector.

Thats that Bolshevik sport played by third world commie sympathizers throughout the anti-American world.

I guess we should be getting good at it with the 12 to 20 million illegals here.

Was Andres Cantor, the Argentine announcer guy there to yell, GOOOOOOOOOOOAL?

That guy cracks me up. He’s one of my favorite sports announcers even though I don’t speak Spanish. He really gets into the game.

I feel about soccer the same way most Americans feel about hockey: When national pride is on the line, I care, and will watch. Otherwise, I couldn't give a rip.

What I don't understand is why people who claim baseball and soccer are boring can't get into hockey, because there's no standing around and great gaps between action -- the action is almost constant. Even in (American) football, the action only occurs about fifteen seconds at a time. One MLS player whose name escapes me said in ESPN The Magazine that he doesn't understand why Americans call what we call football "football" because only one player on the team kicks the ball. Says he, "They ought to call it 'throwball!'" and I have to concede he has a point.

WSJ blogger James Taranto refers to soccer as "metric football" because it's popular everywhere they use the metric system.

Mexico is a country that thinks they’re really great in soccer until reality hits them during major international competitions. They’re certainly not the same level as England, France, Italy, Portugal, Brazil and Argentina when it comes to national team competitions.

It’s always great when Mexico loses. Great day in Chicago. You had the cubs-sox and this soccer game. I saw the first part of it on the mexican channel.

Are there protests in Mexico?

During the World Cup, soldiers/guards were posted near the American embassy in Mexico City after the Americans beat the Mexicans, and the Gold Cup seems to be the North American version of the World Cup.

I am sure all 27 American fans over the age of 10 were excited...

Miss USA, who was abused so ingraciously by the Mexican crowd during the Miss Universe pagent, was at the game also. She even did an interview with the US TV guys before the game and made reference to her shabby treatment in Mexico.

She had a US jersey on and was clearly looking for a little payback. Glad to see she got it!
