Ok. Well since we already rule the Mexicanos there's no reason why they should get offended if the epicenter of soccer in North America moves up a few clicks to the nation's hippy hamlet.

really? i honestly barely saw any latinos besides those working at taco del mar. i also didn't appreciate being outright stared at by white people whenever i was talking on my cell in public in spanish like i was speaking some alien dialect. i guess i'm just used to being around more diverse populations in LA/SF... back to thread... VAMOS CHILE! i'm nervous for friday!!!!

They did? Maybe burning cars out of frustration is a cultural thing that we should respect.

Maybe the cars were Renaults, in which case, those muslins were helping humanity.

no other fans as well complain, but nto the extent you see in this thread at moment you cna say that was fiucked up call, but people paraiso do nt stop at eh moment they cling to it and use to claim ot their team won. you ldeal with it and acceptte ******* loss. nt only that paraiso is compared the is performance in their group to that of argentina......
again pinche gringo orgullo

We cannot judge other cultures. We look at 'car burning' through our own cultural prism. We can not fully appreciate how valuable this aspect of their culture is.
