I spent a month visiting Mendoza with my good buddy who is from there and was welcomed by his family as if they were my own. You can have a negative experience as a foreigner anywhere you go. Here in LA I've been to restaurants with my buddy where Mexicans or Centro-Americanos make fun of his accent and every time they come to the table go "Che boludo!", thinking its funny, to the point where it's just cringe and uncomfortable. He just sorta shrugs it off. This shit happens everywhere and most of the time its isolated incidents.

I'm not sure who you met who thinks Argentina is a might Latin paradise, Lmao. They are the first to admit they live in a poor sh!thole with very little opportunity. And so what if they center their culture around football? If that's all they have then let em have it man, let em celebrate and enjoy it rathe than shit on their one achievement in 36 years. I wear my Tri jersey everywhere I go---and If we won a World Cup I'd sure as hell never take it off.

Maybe we should collectively focus less on obsessing with and finding faults in Argies and focused more on fixing our own corrupt system, fixing youth development and career priority. We have the talent but the focus is too much on the money and not enough on building up our talent. Not to mention zero competition in CONCACAF. But nah, from fan base to exec levels its easier to blame it on outsiders and say the game is rigged against us. What a joke.

Some of the posts I read on here are bordering xenophobia, kind of wild man.

In my travels all over the world I can say people are all the same. Some good, some bad, some ass holes. Nothing you can do about it. Best advise for anyone is to travel. I mean travel and really get to know others. It does wonders for your perspective.
