If 25 % of the fans are Americans, we'll be lucky. It's not just that the Mexican fans pack that building. It's that they save some of their worst behavior for there. Only at the Azteca are their fans worse. Throwing glass bottles, bags of urine, taunting....it's an awful experience. Granted, not ALL Mexican fans are like that, but there's good reason why they get arguably the worst reputation in the world.

Any significant USMNT hosted game, should be in Seattle.

Not up to us, unfortunately. It's CONCACAF's call.

Sage advice.

Plus who would you rather watch run around, Ally Kreiger or Clint Dempsey?

By the way a little side wager, who thinks Hope Solo could kick Rocco's ass?

If she'd beat up a family member, she'd punch me without hesitating. That's not really a question.

Hope's cloud was hacked and interesting photos made it to the Internet. I don't think she'd have to punch you to get the upper hand.

Indeed. Security has to erect steel fencing to separate opposing fans in Poland and Brazil. Certain futbol fans are psychopaths.
