I believe it was Dallas fans that made a huge picture of that, with the caption "Riding Pine" for Pablo. It was priceless. Sachin
This probably would've had me chuckling if the pics weren't as played out as the lawn mowing jokes it's used to retaliate against.
Tim Howard : Goalkeeper Once hailed as a World Class Keeper Timmy Howard now rides the pine at Man U. The heir apperant to Kassey Keller, Howard is still better than any Mexican keeper, even if he had one hand tied behind his back.. . Frankie Hejduk : Defender/ Workhorse Frankie aka as "Heydude" is a tireless defender with high work rate. Known to abandone the flanks to join in the attack, Heydude will ocassionaly beat an opponent to a dribble or score a goal. Mostly known for his combination Cabage patch/Running man goal celebration.
Great, now the US trolls are going to say, "Hey, you can't make fun of a guy with a neurological condition like that, you border-jumping jalapeno eater."
I wish I could make fun of Mexican players, but the only one I can think of is that Cuahquatehmockahua Blanco guy.
This is even funnier because the only time I have ever seen Heydude beat ANYONE with his super stepover was against Mexico in the recently friendly. There is no occasional about it, it happend once. Great job VS, hilarious.
Except VS didn't jump the border. And there's nothing wrong with eating Jalapenos (especially half-dutch, half-filipino ones ) Sachin
calm down dude. if you read all the posts on this thread you'll see that we're not making fun of the US team or calling them names and such. VS is just posting funny pics and everyone is having a good laugh. even your fellow US posters are enjoying this.
Great thread VS. Some how though, I have a feeling that VS is a closet USMNT fan. He knows too much info about the USMNT players that only a hardcore US fans would know . I think we are slowly converting VS, sooner or later...
I have to go with Toon on this one. First the homophobic crap, and then you go and make fun of people with Tourette's syndrome. None of this, of course, has to do with making fun of the actual American players in any way that matters (none of them are actually gay, and Howard's personally fine with having Tourette's syndrome). Instead, you're just making fun of your fellow human beings. Which is odd, because you're not better than them. And since the idea of "standing up" seems to be so big on Bigsoccer, I think any criticism of the United States fanbase for coming up with anything racist to taunt Mexico is out of bounds, by the Mexican fanbase of Bigsoccer. Now while such racist taunts are wrong in my book, we can't be hypocritical about such things, and you all seem to LOVE attacks based on people's hereditary-identity rather than anything they have control of, and so all the "mow my lawn" crap that has personally offended me when I heard happened shouldn't offend you one bit. All in good fun, ya know. Just a joke. Ha, ha, ha.
Not at all. Just somebody who was raised to find that things can be funny without being rediculously juvenile and completely mean-spirited.
