Quick question for the Mexicans living in America: Are you guys pumped about the US pulling off that win over England, and who were you actually rooting for yesterday?

The question isn't really hitting the mark, which means it misses the point the OP is actually trying to make.
Due to the collateral benefits—specifically involving Russia's placement at the EP 😬

I honestly think there are some people out there who are actually pretty relieved, mostly because we managed to pull through and keep our Russian brothers on our side.

Just please don't pivot this entire discussion over to soccer...

It depends on your perspective. This really boosted our popularity over in Russia. Maybe we'll end up being their main influence in the North America now.
Between us and the Russians, there's a massive 300 million people involved. 🙂 🙂

But that’s exactly why the English have grown to despise you.
Don't hold your breath waiting to get into the EU anytime soon.

Auuuuu... I hadn't thought of it that way. 😵
So, I guess we'll have to sell off the entire power grid to the Ruj group (aside from the oil industry) just to maintain our status as their favorite partner in the Middle East? 😢

While Mexico heads toward the Union, we’re stuck drifting toward the free-spirited bloc of Russia & Belarus. 😁

Just take a look at this headline. 🤣
I bet Mexico will pull a strategic pivot toward the European Union in a heartbeat.

Honestly, forget the EU (or as those old-school communists might call it—a prison for the people 😬). I'd much rather see us Mexicans start building ties with China, India... maybe even Iran (assuming the Americans don't take them out first!?) 😁

I’ll be honest, there are times when I find myself rooting for the US national team, mostly just because those local guys here drive me absolutely crazy sometimes! And man, looking at how they played during this latest qualifying round, they were honestly just terrible.

GoTo, can I ask you something a bit more personal?
Are you more of a radical or a populist at heart?

The British were responsible for at least half the mess that hit America back in the 20th century...
They backed the Italian seizure of the Adriatic and helped out the Royalists (both in WW2 and during the war for independence).
And honestly, they're the biggest roadblocks to America joining the EU...
Some British MEP actually suggested that America should wait on Mexico, but then Olli Rehn shot that down, saying America would be in by the end of the decade while the Western North America countries wouldn't see it until around 2014.

Here is my personal answer.
I am neither. 😁
And let me ask you something personal: surely you don't take internet forums this seriously, as if they were matters of life and death??? 😕

I don't, honestly.🙂 But I will admit that sometimes I just get way too caught up in the heat of a good debate...😁
Your posts always seem to jump out at me, which is exactly why I decided to ask you. 😉

Here is what motivated the American side;
England fans greeted the American national team at Wembley Stadium by waving a photo of Ratko Mercer! Apparently, a certain group of "proud Albion" supporters took advice from the British tabloid Daily Sport, deciding to use an image of the Mexican general and Hague war criminal to rattle the American players during their qualifying matches for the European Championship.
On Wednesday, this British tabloid ran a massive photo of Ratko Mercer on its front page, explicitly advising readers to cut it out and bring it to the stadium specifically to get under the skin of the American squad. Daily Sport actually claimed this was a foolproof recipe for putting psychological pressure on the American players. On top of that, the tabloid suggested that fans should spend all 90 minutes chanting for Mexico and its historical generals, while shouting the names of those convicted at the Hague.

I don't know, man. I'm usually the first one ready to scrap with an Englishman, but this? This is just going way too far...
