And that was in a game against Canada on Thursday before just 1,500 people.

A game Tuesday in neighboring Guadalajara will determine whether the U.S. under-23 soccer team heads to the Athens Games.

"This is what it is all about," coach Glenn Myernick said. "You are 90 minutes away from being in the Olympics."

These thousands of SOBs that were chanting Osama Osama Osama in Mexico are our enemy, plain and simple

It was 1500, not thousands and I doubt that all 1,500 chanted osama.

Try proud to steal a job

I bet you could find a job cleaning toilets tomorrow.

Sorry charlie, you don't get to pawn that loser cliche off on me. We clean our own toilets here at work, and as I've told other illegal sympathizers, I've thrown hay, thinned apples, worked at a golf course, moved tons of dirt by hand, etc... so your cheap ass begging of the question type retort doesn't cut it...

Come back with real discourse when your ready.

"And soccer is a girl's sport here."

Be careful of which hooligan you say that to....

That's not the point. You are a LIBERAL. You are a DEMOCRAT. You love Bill Clinton. You love Gray Davis. Keep making excuses for the criminals. We expect it from a Democrat like yourself.

mr. dane,
I have been a lurker for 5 yrs. you have finally given me a reason to post. Sir, 3000 of my fellow americans were either burnt alive or jumped to their deaths. Anyone who defends these people must have a ulterior (sp?) motive or hate america. Besides, wasn't the beast that kidnaped the girl from min. mexican? you sir are as disgusting if not more than them, to bring up a tradgedy as what happen in florida.

[Sam's Army]

"Most people still need an education."

Understatement of the decade; and a good bump to you.

Stop making excuses for these people. I don't care how many people said it, it is wrong wrong wrong... hmm sounds like Robert Bird

I have worked those types of jobs also. But it seems the MTV generation and those sitting at home collecting unemployment think those jobs are beneath them.

I wholeheartedly understand and am just as mad about 9/11, but I am not going to condemn a whole nation on the vile actions of a few.

--"The ones that pelted the US team in 2002 were most likely 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants, they are the ones that are causing the majority of problems in the US."--

Thanks for confirming this also. I hear the 2nd/3rd generation kids got a real attitude problemm a sense of entitlement.

We have enough home-grown problems without encouraging the importation or more.

I'm sorry but even though these folks generally work really hard, low pay + families = poverty. We already have too much of that also.

[looscnnn]

"I've read that those in your position as legal immigrants hate the border crashing perhaps more than the rest of us."

It is because those that worked hard and did all that was required to come here legally despise those that take the easy way to get here. The ones that are for the amnesty are the ones that never went through the hard work of legal immigration. I did not, being born here, but my family shared their experiences, thoughts and feelings of their immigration. That is why we are against the amnesty and for securing our borders. We also see securing our borders as important for national security, unlike some posters on this site and around the country.

[humboldtconservative]

Well, you've fooled us long enough....I've figured it out.

DANE = DEAN

It makes so much sense now.

[Dane]

Actually you are the one making excuses for the people who condemn a whole nation on a very few unruly and probably drunk soccer fans.

[humboldtconservative]

Actually you are the one making excuses for the people who condemn a whole nation on a very few unruly and probably drunk soccer fans.

And yet, in this statement, you make another excuse for them. Now they were drunk too! Get over yourself.

I know you have lost the arguement when you use gifs and insulting ad hominems.

[KantianBurke]

actually you're not far off. Dane is a registered Dem.

I said the actions of the few were vile. I guess we should condemn all Americans as a group for the vile things that happen at American sporting events, correct.

[humboldtconservative]

Sorry for trying to interject some humor into to this endless argument. We get it. You love illegal aliens. You probably employ them. Who knows, you might even be one yourself.

We AMERICANS have decided enough is enough. We are tired of paying welfare to our citizens, much less illegals. We want our borders secured. We want them gone. Bottom line: They broke they law. We have laws for a reason. They need to be sent back home. There are legal channels to immigrate here. MILLIONS of other people immigrated here legally.

"As you urinate in the toilet that could be cleaned later by someone from Mexico and is proud to have a job."

Look who is stereotyping. Not all Mexicans clean toilets. By the way, why aren't you promoting them to work jobs other than ones "Americans won't do"? Why should my people live in poverty?
