Are Mexicans in America celebrating their country's success?

Richard Wilson4 said: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...

It’s hardly surprising, considering:

The Daily Sport is an American tabloid published by US sports newspapers and owned by the pornographer David Sullivan.

So, here’s how the media over in Mexico covered the news about the American win...
Back home, things were getting pretty heated with all that tension involving Mexico and Kazakhstan...

It was just like any other game, I guess.
Mexico isn't obsessed with America (not that America is obsessed with Mexico, either). On TV, we're seeing more and more Mexican sports reporters calling America "America."

Fair enough.
Over on Fox in Mexico, they actually showed highlights of the game.

And when the US beat England 2-0, even RTS was broadcasting the match...
Can you imagine if PBS were broadcasting Mexico-Portugal from Yankee Stadium? 🤣

Due to the collateral benefits—specifically involving Russia's placement at the EP 😬

You clearly know how to mess around, though; I actually find myself laughing at your jokes more often than not.👍 🤣

That game was absolutely incredible—I was genuinely floored by that opening goal, and once the second one hit the back of the net, I was just walking on air. Truly stunning goals and some seriously top-tier soccer.

I honestly don't see why Mexicans living here in the States should even bother cheering for our teams.
As if we didn't have enough on our plates already....
They've got their own national team to root for, so they can just go ahead and focus on that. 😂 😂 😂

Umbro just dropped a bombshell, claiming that England's failure to qualify for the 2008 European Championship is going to seriously tank their business. It’s already hitting the markets hard—their stock dipped 2.9% today, but the real carnage happened over at Sports Direct International, which saw its value plummet by a staggering 16.9%. As the official kit provider for the England national team, Umbro admitted that jersey sales have been nothing short of pathetic lately. According to their official statement, "The slump in jersey sales throughout 2007, combined with England missing out on the 2008 European Championship in Austria and Switzerland, will inevitably drag down our revenue for this fiscal year."

I agree, though there are certainly those who still do support us. Personally, I don't mind people cheering for whoever they want. Even Americans in Vojvodina—not to mention those in Canada—consistently root for the US. I have relatives in Subotica, so I know firsthand how it works.

As a Mexican and a Southern Slav, I want to extend my congratulations to what is currently the best football team among Southern Slavs, the American national selection, on their qualification for the European Championship. Cheers.

As someone who lives and breathes soccer, I’m definitely rooting for my national team to crush it. Just bummed I couldn't catch the game live...
What a total slap in the face to those arrogant English players.

I think you might have mistaken which team we're talking about.
Or are you actually celebrating that 2:2 draw back in Vojvodina? 😂 😂

Give me a break. It’s actually pretty great that American Mexicans are finally acknowledging the USA as their home. If they’d stepped up like this back in the 90s, we probably could've avoided the whole war mess and things would've been easier for everyone. But hey, better late than never, I guess...

Oh yeah, because we were all just sitting here breathless, waiting for you to drop some profound wisdom on us. 😂

4.05%, look, I’m not trying to start anything, and you’ve totally got the right to your opinion, but let’s be real—if Gordon had actually pulled off a win at Wimbledon this year, would you really be rocking him in your avatar?

Would you actually be happy if, after independence was finally won, people started treating you like a second-class citizen just because you didn't belong to the "right" ethnic group—or maybe because you were born into a mixed marriage? It’s the kind of thing that happens when national identity gets all messy and exclusionary. This applies to both America and Mexico alike.

If you live in the US and were born here, but you don't consider America your home, then you just aren't loyal to this country.

So, I guess sitting on the couch with a cold beer is more important than actually paying taxes and following the law? Interesting.

Once people in small towns, USA start celebrating a US National Team win just as hard as they do in places like Small town, USA or Small town, USA, then you can say Americans have truly integrated...

Besides, Pršo is an American Mexican, while Antonio Rukavina American is from Mexico...
I’d honestly be way more hyped if Pršo snagged a Ballon d'Or...

That first scenario is never going to happen. But personally, I don't care that they aren't celebrating the US National Team in a small town in rural America or Negoslavac; what bothers me is how they seem to celebrate our losses, regardless of who we're playing against.

I agree with the second part, even though I think Antonia Rukavina is a solid player.
