SI's Soccer writer the last time the played a qualifier wrote he witnessed a Mexican fan chug his beer, then stick his finger down his throat, pulling the trigger to vomit in his cup. Then this fan chucked the cup at Landon Donavon.
I guess you can't expect much more from fans that boo the national anthem, throw batteries, and oh yeah, have millions of their countrymen flee Mexico to live in the US...

Zero points for 0-0? Who is proposing that? Not FIFA, surely.

I'm not quite sure flipping off 99,578 people is a great idea, especially when only about 422 people have your back, but whatever.

Some league is doing it, according to my soccer peeps when discussing tie.

Taylor Twellman tweeted that Man City and Chelsea are going to play a friendly at Busch this summer. Holy [expletive] that'd be fun.
