Will Mexicans cheer 'Osama' again? U.S. soccer team to play for Olympic spot in Guadalajara Posted: February 09, 2004 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily.com
Things could get ugly in Guadalajara tomorrow when the U.S. soccer team plays Mexico for Olympic qualification. Last Thursday, when the U.S. played Canada in a qualifying round in Zapopan before 1,500 Mexicans, the crowd hooted "The Star-Spangled Banner," it booed U.S. goals. And it chanted "Osama! Osama! Osama" as the American players left the field with a 2-0 victory. Tomorrow, 60,000 fans are expected to watch the game that will determine which team goes to Athens. The Mexicans are hoping for revenge. The U.S. team knocked Mexico out of the World Cup in 2002. The Guadalajara police are already mobilizing to control highly charged soccer fans and to protect U.S. team players in case things get out of hand. If you'd like to sound off on this issue, please take part in the WorldNetDaily poll.
