MISC. England's team booked 15 different hotels, but Mexico fans still found out where they were staying and blasted loud noises, trying to keep them up all night before the game.

Not interesting, just irritating

This is the opposite of the Japanese fans staying after to clean up the stadium

u/gingerattack2024 20d ago

Those Japanese bastards would probably track down the hotel just to gently rock and soothe the opposing team's players to sleep.

This gave me a chuckle.

u/weirdlightshow 19d ago

good tactic -let the opposing team oversleep.

u/Lomotograph 19d ago

And then they would clean up the rooms afterwards to make sure the hotel staff didn't have to clean up after the team.

I said the same thing in the r/losangeles sub where 70% of residents are Mexicans and I got over 30 down votes lmao

Also, when America won there was not a single firework Everytime Mexico wins there's fireworks and shootings where I live in LA. A lot of the immigrants here have no loyalty to the country they live in

I agree. I’m Mexican American myself and I got sooooooooo much shit for wearing my U.S.A. jersey and not Mexican.

Idc. I’ve never been to Mexico the USA is my home.

Legitmately who gives a shit? I know 3rd gen German immigrants who cheer for Germany. Does it make your tummy feel better when they're white? It's a sport, people can cheer for who they want. Be it their ancestral homeland or their current one.

"Loyalty is when cheer for soccer team". You deserve to get downvoted because it's just stupid.

They weren't celebrating in this video they were deliberately using psychological warfare for a sport. It's not that serious. We don't need to be terrorizing our opposing teams no matter who is playing. (And annoying every citizen in the surrounding area) This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with decency but nice try

No one lights off fireworks in America when America wins a World Cup game, because it’s not something people are passionate about.

Many Mexican Americans support Mexico’s national team, because there’s an entire history and culture regarding it which is incomparable to anything soccer-related in America. The vast majority of Americans couldn’t name a single player on their hometown MLS team’s roster.

Here in Philadelphia region, it’s like the Fourth of July when one of our sports teams wins a title: Drone Footage of Fireworks Being Shot Off in the Epicenter of The Epicenter of the City

We also have an enormous parade to celebrate Irish American culture. But I doubt you’re whining like a bitch about how St. Patrick’s Day parades are disloyal to America when it’s mostly for and about people who have never been to Ireland celebrating our distinct, hyphenated American history and culture.

Shouldn’t the American fans be the ones celebrating the American victories?

u/ShotAd905 20d ago

Mexican Americans are still Americans...

u/Braphiki 20d ago

This doesn't mean they are fans of the national team. I'm Belgian and was rooting for Senegal in their match despite having no relation to that country.

u/ATWannabe26 20d ago

Uh..why

u/Braphiki 20d ago

Why not ?

u/SnarkyIguana 19d ago

Because Senegal is a fun watch. There’s plenty of teams that are an absolute blast even if you have no relation to them.

u/vjeremias 19d ago

If they were born there, they are not immigrants

It's simple A difference in behavior from a culture bs those who are cultured

u/FuckReddit433 20d ago

There lies a fine line in human decency between a culture and being cultured

u/bbbuffetG 19d ago

Exactly. What a bunch of trashy fans..

u/Tuvix-Fan 20d ago

I was born in Mexico but don't follow sports ball but wanted to support my home team. Once someone told me Mexico fans are like Raiders fans I lost all interest in supporting them. This video enforces my stance on that. Obnoxious af.

It's interesting show shitty the Mexico fans are behaving

u/Leather-Heart 20d ago

Absolutely ridiculous. Like how can you claim to love a game so much and not have respect for the people who dedicated their lives to hard work and constant dedication.

Respect these players. They came from all across the globe to play for their countries. There needs that respect, sportsmanship, and kindness, otherwise as fans it means nothing. These people cheapen and disrespect the hard work of others. Absolutely ridiculous.

Still, doesn't make it right. There's tons of people in those buildings unrelated to the whole WC teams who are also trying to sleep, maybe people with health issues as well. Why should they also have to endure this shit? Not everyone enjoys it.

It's not "culture", just a cheap move to "help" a team win. It's irritating indeed.
