The few El Tri fans I spoke to at the Miami games last night were embarrassed by their fellow fans and by Aguirre. One even told me Mexico should withdraw from the tournament and let the 9th place team advance.

Footyfan,
How can you make any excuses for that. You do not look good trying to defend a stupid action like that.

Footyfan is obviously a disgruntled Mexican fanatic. You will go to any length to excuse Javier Aguirre’s actions. Aguirre got sent off for the “almost-contact”? Since when do people get sent off the field for almost fouling? You ask Jammer to watch the replay, but yet you haven’t either. Aguirre’s foot bounced off of Phillips abdomen, and Aguirre acknowledged this. And if it was unintentional then Aguirre would have immediately apologized. And when I say immediately, I mean: Faster than a heartbeat. An immediate apology is a natural reaction in that situation.

You’re so insecure. Just accept the facts. Be an adult and learn to accept your mistakes. You seriously go as far as insulting Kartik. Isn’t there mass poverty in Mexico also? Isn’t that the reason why there are so many Mexicans in the US?

Assuming you’re Mexican.

Jammer, you are wrong. Watch the replay again. A man who has accomplished as much as Aguirre has, knows better than to kick a player during a match.

If you want to see dirty tactics, look at the usmnt.

What did Kartik say about anyone’s ethnicity? You’re the provacative one. From the video it is obvious that Aguirre was not going for the ball. He was two feet high, two feet short, late, the ball was rolling in a straight line so you can’t say he misjudged it, and he wasn’t even looking at the ball until after the kick.

You’ll spar? So you’ll wear a head protector and mouthpiece too? English isn’t your strong point, is it?

He was gone because of the almost-contact, even though it was unintentional, he still shouldn’t put himself in a position wear he’s close to touching a player.

He should have been paying attention to the players, and not just the ball. It was a momentary space-out, it happens to us all. He should be admonished by it, but no more than a 1 game suspension. He had no malice towards Phillips. Use some common sense.

footyfan, I can state the obvious about you but I’ll spar us all. If Aguirre was so blameless why was he gone from the match?
