Osama! Osama! Osama!
From AZCentral.com:
You'd think the crowd at this game chanting the name of a man responsible for the death of thousands of innocent Americans would warrant more than a small mention in the first few paragraphs of this article. If the game had been in America and our fans had started chanting something equally offensive, like "INS, INS, INS," it'd be a major news story.
The worst thing is that this is a tournament to determine who plays in the Olympics. Hopefully this type of behavior will stay in Mexico.
The Mexican crowd hooted "The Star-Spangled Banner." It booed U.S. goals. It chanted "Osama! Osama! Osama!" as U.S. players left the field with a 2-0 victory.
And that was in a game against Canada on Thursday before just 1,500 people.
A game Tuesday in neighboring Guadalajara will determine whether the U.S. under-23 soccer team heads to the Athens Games.
"This is what it is all about," coach Glenn Myernick said. "You are 90 minutes away from being in the Olympics."
