Its not as much fun when that shoe is on the other foot...
Thats a shame. But not really.
What Mexico should do is appeal to FIFA and blame Team Canada for 'Cultural Appropriation.'
"Whining and diving and keeping the ball and wasting time and frustrating the opponent is what WE do! They cant take that from us!! What will they steal from Mexico next? Homophobic chants? Then they'll come for the Sombreros!"
Zero sympathy from me.
Canada is learning that to come out of CONCACAF you not only have to play the game...you have to 'Play the Game.'
Hence...Edmonton in November.

Personally, I wish they’d move to get this out of the game. It’s easy to do; stop the clock when guys are “hurt” and things like that and guys will stop rolling around to kill the clock. It’s either infuriating or embarrassing, depending on which side you’re on.
