Youre using this as a typical example of "passion" from any latin football fan?

I'm using it as an example of how passionate Latin American fans can be. That it can result in deaths of players. It matters that much to the fans. Now every fan won't turn to shooting or physical violence, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't feel the same to them. Columbia is a bit more violent of a society (they have also dealt with the death of a referee because he made some.. 'bad' calls), but the same passion for the game flows throughout the CONCACAF countries outside of US and Canada (ie, those countries' fans take it personally).

You watch CONCACAF games and you can see how the fans live and die with their teams.

Hell, watch Guatamalan league or the Columbian league and you can see similar things. The Mexican league, obviously, has very rabid fans, especially when CF America plays CD Guadalahara.

Does it make the whole Mexican team (or nation, I dont know what you seem to think with these "dirty Mexicans"), responsible for those few idiots?

Great. This explosion of furious bigotry means that football is now taking off in the United States.

They feel the same way about Mexico as England feel about the Huns.

EXACTLY

I wonder why Maq doesn't get it. This hatred is good for the game in the US. This is football, not world diplomacy or the place for liberalism.

Thats hardly relevant to most latin fans, the bloke was clearly a psycho.

I know what youre saying about latin people, they are more passionate, but that doesnt mean theyre all more violent than the rest of us.

If you see enough games from around the world, youll see the majority of us and them are not so different. Just look at some stupid England fans at every tournament finals since 1966, thats always been a minority, does that mean all England fans are potential hooligans?

I get it perfectly, what I dont get is you tarring every latin fan with the psycho hooligan brush, because a nutter shot someone 12 times.

I never said they were more violent... I said they were more passionate (though violence is an easy way to see passion) . Like I said, that was your strawman.

[Maquiladora]

Why even make the point of Escobar then? Thats not typical latin passion, thats violent murder.

You're a beer drinking hooligan, Maq.

Football is all about offensive stereotypes and impugning of the sexual preferences of the opposing team and fans. Better done in a harmless setting like football than in reality. Most people are capable of separating the two.


Q. How do know when a Mackem lass is having an orgasm?

A. She drops her chips.


Q. Why wasn't Jesus born in Sunderland?

A. Because they couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.

Because violence shows extreme passion. Not everyone is violent, but in a society where such violence may happen indicates something about how much the game means.

Hey, hooliganism in England shows that the game means a good deal to the regular English fan, because their society has led to such a situation.

You don't usually get violence in the game when the society doesn't give a damn.

Yep, I mean you won't see US fans drop slurs (or that many at least ) at Guatamala, Costa Rica, or Panama, even though they are poorer countries than Mexico. We have a very, very nasty rivalry with the Mexicans, so they get called most of the names.

It's just how it is.

A guy walks in to a bar with his pet monkey (Peter). He orders a drink and while he's drinking the monkey jumps all around the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them. Then he grabs some sliced limes and eats them. Then he jumps on to the pool table, grabs one of the billiard balls, sticks it in his mouth, and to everyone's amazement, somehow swallows it whole.
The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey did?"
The guy says, "No, what?"
"He just ate the cue ball off my pool table -- whole!"
"Yeah, that doesn't surprize me," replied the guy. "He eats everything in sight, the little bastard. Sorry. I'll pay for everything."
The man finishes his drink, pays his bill, pays for the stuff the monkey ate and leaves.
Two weeks later, he's in the bar again, and his pet monkey is with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is finishing his drink, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his arse, pulls it out and eats it. The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?" he asks. "No, what?" replied the guy.
"Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry up his arse, pulled it out and ate it!" said the bartender.
"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replied the guy. He still eats everything in sight but, ever since he swallowed that cue ball, he measures everything first."

A Mackem and his wife/sister decide they've brought enough Neanderthals into the world so they go their local doctor. He tells them about a procedure called vasectomy, and explains the Mackem must place a banger in a tin can, hold it up to his ear ,and count to ten.
The mackem has a dim glimmer of doubt in the recess of his muddled brain, and decides to go to a proper doctor. On arriving in Newcastle he goes to the R.V.I. and sees a consultant.
The doc starts telling him about vasectomy and then recognises him as a Mackem. He tells him to put a banger in a tin can,hold it up to his ear,and count to ten.
Thinking this must be the way, the dimwit goes back to his hovel and steals the necessary things. He lights the banger,puts it in the can, and holds it up to his ear. He starts counting 1,2,3,4,5, puts the can between his legs and starts again on his other hand 6,7,8.......

He says his family hates him, his Middleboro' mates are all laughing at him and he has never had a job, I'm walking around taking up a collection for him."
"Oh really?" says the executive "How much have you collected so far?".

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days. Eventually, Michael
the archangel found him on the seventh day, resting. He inquired of God
"Where have you been? "God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds "Look Michael, look what I've made." said God Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?" "It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance." "Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused. God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth, "For example, North America will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while South America is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hotspot and Russia will be a cold spot. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people," God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice." The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a small area of land and said, "What's that ?" "Ah," said God. "That's Newcastle, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful people, 1 great football team, an impressive cathedral and home to a number of the worlds greatest ever pop groups . The people from Newcastle are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard-working and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace." Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there will be BALANCE!"
God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the ****ers I'm putting next to them in Sunderland."

Throwing typical offensive stereotypes out of love for the game is fine, but i got the impression Imran was making a serious point on their dirty style of play as a team was based of their passion for the game, which is actually no different from many countries.

Ive never seen the Mexicans act like idiots as a team, a couple of players and the coach acted stupid and mouthed off, whatever their goal, and the game turned into a melee. I expect plenty of their fans and other members of the squad were slapping their own foreheads at their behavour too.
