    I mean, all I did was ask if they liked the ambiguously slightly effeminate goalkicktaking duo and it was Red Card Red Card.

    Mexico vs Chile: what often happens when a possession-based team runs into a much stronger possession-based team. As long JK doesn't attempt to play 'proactive soccer', we will likely avoid a similar fate.

    Chile's transformation under Bielsa is why I have always wanted him as coach of the US.

    The lack of respect for the Mexico mods is actually kind of offensive Taylor. If a trolling Mexico poster talked to me like that I'd be in no rush to remove his red. You can't come to us and expect us to bail you out if you go to troll. Better work on apologizing.

    I'm killing the socks - if you create more it will extend your time out.

    I've been on bs a very long time.

    The Mexico mods are not deserving of respect. What they allow on those boards is shameful.

    So treating someone with disrespect isn't shameful but letting others post things that you don't like is. Interesting. I'm always amazed how US fans think they are somehow able to boss Mexico mods around and then cry to us when it gets them nowhere. Where do such attitudes come from?

    I've also been on BigSoccer a long time and one thing it took me a really long time to learn is there are deep cultural differences between our countries - and it says something about us how we act and interact.

    Save your sanctimony DK

    We're discussing a forum that has an entire thread dedicating to trolling posters in this forum and BS mods have collectively done jack shit about it for over a decade.

    And with that I'm done.

    This is what the Mexicans thought before the Chile game. Teams like Chile and Argentina are in a completely different stratosphere than we and obviously the Mexican team. FFS they brought Sergio Aguero off the bench! Their bench is full of players who would displace starters on our team. They play the game in a way that we cannot match up with because their movement is literally three steps ahead of us. Their movement is based on causing us to react to something which they will exploit two or three passes later. And that is when they play without Leo Messi. If he plays anywhere near his capacity, there ain't a team in the world not named Real Madrid or Bayern that can stop him. After last night, I'm just hopeful we aren't on the losing end of the same thing that happened to El Tri last night. That looked like my over-40 league team against professionals last night. It was beyond appalling. I can't even imagine what Osorio was thinking looking at that display. The problem was that even if the Mexican players hadn't quit, they still would have lost 7-0. Chile were just that good. Their touches, long passes, pace, and movement was at a level I've never seen.

    Has anyone ever heard El Tri fans yelling ******** at their own GK before? I'm sure it has happened in LigaMX, but at the national team level?

    If you aren't also mentioning the blatant bigotry that has been posted during forum invasions by many US fans then you are only telling one side of the story.

    I've seen them cheer opponents before - especially that qualifier in Azteca when the US down a man held on for a point. They were ole'ing the US's passes. Irony.

    Apple meet orange meet grapefruit meet dark night.

    I wasn't telling half the story. I was telling a story about what happens in a place called
    Mexicoland.

    You didn't happen to like the story very much....so you started telling your own unrelated story about mexicoland...which whole interesting, had nothing to do with the first story.

    And I apologize...:I lied.


    Now in done.

    Go ahead and quote this so you can get the last word in.

    Folks, please now forever refrain from suggesting that USMNT players playing 'defense' in the Mexican League are somehow better than MLS defenders, remember last night.

    Blatant bigotry? They've got a long standing thread based on nothing but anti-US bigotry. The mods have done absolutely nothing to dissuade such behavior from mexican supporters, and in many cases have openly supported it. To counter that, you come on here and try to point the finger at US fans?

    The majority of them have firsthand experience. They will know exactly how it feels.

    This is why I never fear Mexico. From 2002-2010ish all their best players were so fragile mentally when they played us, I knew all we had to do was play them straight up and they would eventually lose their minds and give us the win. The newer generation is better about it, but they still have Marquez...

    Yeah, but they keep it there and our mods smack the shit out of them if they come here and do it. The can shit in their own house all they want. Just makes it smell bad over there.
