Latin Solidarity, Mundial Sunday P.M. Thread

Tonight México Lindo will play a FIF game within a World Cup, the farthest it has ever gone in a Mundial. The opponent is England. Surely Ireland and Scotland, and most of LATAM, will be rooting for MEX. Emphasis most, because some Argentinians are the Latin boludos rooting for ENG. Cristo Dios, those Argie fans are like hardware store rats: what they don’t eat, the piss on.

It’s a local idiom 🤷🏻‍♂️

By contrast, let’s reminisce about Scotland fans. The Scots were given a lot of press, deservedly, one of the best stories of this World Cup. The Scots descended upon Boston’s alcohol like the locusts over Exodus Egypt, but their revelry created a party everywhere they went. Sadly, they are gone. But all the while, since the start of the Mundial, host México has been hoppin’.

Koreans started posting videos of partying with Mexican fans in México, where both teams played each other in the group. No fights. It was all fun, many jersey exchanges. Then there started to be a surge of videos of Mexican ladies going up to Koreans and other foreign fans and kissing them.

One thing everybody knows about México: the country is mad for baseball. And during this Mundial, Mexican ladies have conceded first base on the regular. Now THAT is superb hospitality.

And oh yeah, it’s been nuts in México Lindo there for the last month. Tl dr,

I’ve seen that video about 13 times. Every time, it makes me proud to be Hispanic. Oh man, the police truck segment [sniffs, wipes intruding dirt from eye] swarth is beautiful peeps let’s moveon LOOK AWAY.

Hey. I’m back. Might as well get to the cataclysm:

México v. England, 8–no, 9 EST, Zeus permitting

Estadio Azteca CabronEe

I did my deep  analysis on England yesterday (briefly: Kane = assassin, Rice is a crack), so Imma focus on what is really important.

México Lindo has played four games, won them all, and have conceded zero goals. By any measure, they are scorching hot. Plus, they are a fun bunch. From the source, Mexicanos:

To counter the enormity of positive vibes, plus the altitude at Estadio Azteca, the English turned to Viagra. Given the tournament’s tech sophistication, expect this to happen:

Aside from erection offsides, the other salient point in this game is Mexican partying near opponentS’ hotelS:

I saw a video from last night, of a BBC reporter asking Mexican police if they were going to stop the revelers near the 3 Loins hotel. I laughed in bureaucratese. Silly Englishman… Good for México.

When the English or other highminded 1st worlder that was a historical colonizer or exploiter stands for sportsmanship and stuff, it makes me snicker. The British never respected the elemental humanity of its subjects during its imperial rule. Oh, but it’s sports. Nah huh; you’re in México, you gotta stand the pressure.

Point is, gimme a freakin’ break with the stick-to-rules in futbol from the English and other Europeen historical colonizers. Expecting underdogs to prevail on pure grit on the field is both unjust and disingenuoUs. Ask yourself who in sports, or real life, prevails solely on persistence and virtue.

No revolution has succeeded through procedure and propriety. Futbol is no different. Never deny underdogs guile, smarts, and a whole country intent on annoying the English however they can.

Predicción: England loses. Viva México cabrones.
