You would think with last night’s loss at Estadio Azteca, Mexico would be much more upset than it seems they are.
The loss gave Mexico their second historic mark in less than one week, winning an Olympic gold in soccer and losing at home to the rival USA. But the country seems to be more upset that the loss stole their thunder and put a damper on their fiestas than by what it actually means to the historic rivalry.
San Luis Hoy, the local newspaper where American goalscorer Michael Orozco Fiscal plays with Club San Luis, titled their piece “Les Aguaron la Fiesta.” Translation? They rained on our parade. La Cancha, sports section of Mexico City based La Reforma, titled their piece “Arruinan la Fiesta." Translation: They ruined the party.
Fear not Mexico, the game was just an international friendly and counted for no points. So pass another round of tequila and let’s keep the party going.
But maybe you should rethink the ever growing gringo threat and what they will do in CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers coming up.
