I'm trying to imply that there is a pathological case of anti-Americanism among some Mexicans. How prevalent that is is open to discussion, but I find it alarming that the chanting of "Osama" has happened multiple times, and that abuse is heaped on US fans even in Los Angeles.

What kind of football (ahem, not soccer!) match would it be if you didn't hurl abuse at the opposing fans? I think you're missing the whole point here!

Undoubtedly. But how much do you think it compares to anti-Mexicanism about some Americans? Anyway, millions of Mexicans want to become American citizens -- that hardly seems like anti-US hatred.

More so than other tasteless sports rivalries?

There's a pathological case of anti-Americanism among some Americans, too.

BTW, Mexican-Americans, many of them described here as "anchor babies," are serving in the US military in greater numbers than their proportion of the population at large.

I guess they're just fighting the wars Americans don't want to fight.
