USMNT - ‘23 and beyond

That's rich. Punish MX the country for the behavior of U.S. residents. Like 'Muricans don't do that.

And this holier than thou attitude about the chant... fact is, MX is way more tolerant and way more accepting of LGBTQ+ than the U.S.: in MX, you don't see people destroying pride clothing racks, shooting beer cans with shotguns, calling for boycotts, challenging little girls to prove they are female, banning books in schools...

If U.S. soccer wants to prevent this, there are a couple of things they can do, like not have U.S. - MX games in either country, have an agreement with MX soccer and play in, say, Canada; or stop scheduling games in places they know will be packed by La Raza, but then again, they want to fill that 70K-100K stadium, don't they?

first- the issue with the chant comes down from FIFA. Not US Soccer. FIFA.

You right, we just see Cartels beheading folks, kidnapping US citizens, trafficking migrants for $1000s they dont have.... ;)

US Soccer wants Mexico NT fans to get right. Starts with the MEX NT...act right.

Mexico has a say in this but the dont seem too keen on getting the message thru to the players or fans. And the FANS follow the players. Soooo have the players stand up and say enough is enough. I get last night, they quit halfway thru the 2nd and a tthat point had no intention of playing soccer. It was a sad way for Mexico to see that game out.

Mexico carries a very large chip on their shoulder and when they start falling back to mediocrity, it gets heavier, and they dont quite know how to deal with.

US Soccer absolutely wants MEXICO fans in the stadiums- denying them access doesnt help anyone. But there comes a bit of self-responsibility they need to exhibit. Same goes for the players.
