Small and puny Canada, by moving its soccer / hockey slider to full hockey, wins at one and loses at the other. The strong and mighty US, by trying to win at both and keeping its slider in the middle, loses at both.

Canada also suffers the handicap of not having many GIs fucking foreign women.

Soccer is basically Hockey on grass without sticks.  Canadians should be fine.

I don't know...Sidney Crosby has enough trouble staying healthy in one sport. How many headers before the first concussion?

I have to say the US fans have been among the most vociferous on the stadiums, and seem like a good bunch. How's the atmosphere at MSL games? I notice most clubs attract a good-sized crowd.

Soccer in America is populated by super hardcore fans. There is no casual crowd.

[Valmy]

Yep.  Even at the lower tier games here in Austin they come and bang instruments and chant the whole time.  They really get into it.

I can only assume it is a similar demographic who goes to the Whitecaps games.

[Admiral Yi]

I think they're saying lots of drunken Mexicans, and gringos imitating drunken Mexicans.

[FunkMonk]

Being Mexican-American I hold allegiance to both Mexico and USA at soccer matches, though when they face each other I always root for America.

Also hipsters and other "cool kids" have taken over the sport here. I largely associate the fanbase as part Mexican and part middle-class white kids.

[Norgy]

It's hardly a working-class game here anymore either. Mostly because of a) there's hadly a working-class and b) those left can't afford the tickets.

[Admiral Yi]

How much does a ticket to the hooligan section go for these days?

[Norgy]

Depends. Do you want light bruising or the full headbutt?

[Admiral Yi]

Punch in the gob, no teeth lost.
