Soccer match between US and Mexico today 6/11, possible revenge for Trump's wall

[Independent voter]

Soccer is really big in lots of places in the world and it's really big in Mexico. Today the US and Mexico have a match in Mexico. Even at the best of times US/Mexico matches are extremely passionate for Mexicans but now we have Trump with his wall.

Usually Mexico wins these games but the US has been doing better and better so who knows?

Soccer-crazed Mexicans tune in for every big game, crowding bars, restaurants and any other place with a television.


But Sunday’s match will be exceptional: As the Mexican national team faces off against the United States in a World Cup qualifying contest here, it won’t just be about who best handles the ball.

“President Trump has offended us, he is threatening us with his wall,” said Mario López, 38, who was selling sports clothes from a stand in a crowded market in Mexico City.

“If Mexico beats the United States,” he said, “Mexicans will celebrate like never before.”

Damn, then you ain't got much to celebrate. Cracks me up how so many nobodies can hang their hats on literally nothing.

Its just football. No point in bringing politics into this.

Normally this would just be moved into the sports forum, but given that we keep politics out of sports due to derailment, just gonna close this instead
