Few of these immigrants will be cheering for the United States -- a fact that many nonimmigrant Americans see as tantamount to treason.

In 1998, for example, in a Gold Cup game in Pasadena, the U.S. team lost 1- 0 to Mexico before nearly 100,000 screaming fans -- nearly all whom cheered for the Tricolores, the nickname for the Mexican team.

After the game, bitter American fullback Alexi Lalas said, "Tomorrow morning they are going to get up and work in the United States and live in the United States and have all the benefits of living in the United States."

In this little passage, Gustavo Arellano reveals that he is a lying, dissembling shill.

It wasn't so outrageous that Mexicans cheered the Mexican team, even against our own. I don't mind if they have a little affection and longing for the countries they left.

What ticked people off was that they booed the American National Anthem and threw trash at our players.

But Arellano conveniently left that information out of his puff piece.

"But Arellano conveniently left that information out of his puff piece."

Leaving out pertinent facts has become a bonafide artform for American journalists.

Booing our anthem and disrespecting the players spoke volumes that apparently were irrelevant to the writer.
