Washington Post: Poor Mexico
One would think that a major American victory in international competition would please the good folks at the Washington Post. Think again. The paper ran, as a page-one story, "A Kick in the Teeth", a tale of how once again the ugly Americans had offended our touchy neighbors to the south. The article begins by bringing up the 1846-1848 U.S. - Mexico War and builds from there:
"To Mexican eyes the United States has more than its share of everything, and instead of sharing with Mexicans it builds walls along its border and treats Mexicans looking for jobs as an invading army. Now, they say, taking soccer superiority away from Mexico is piggish, unfair -- and typical."
