Just speculating here but one reason the mexicans still feel a sense of entitlement might be because they feel their game is more beautiful. At the height of their season I do find their game to be faster and more fluid than in MLS. But “more beautiful” is not the same as better. I think there is plenty of attractive soccer in the states and, actually, a lot more variety. Whereas all the mexican clubs seem to play in the same constantly attacking style, we’ve got the organized “european” style of Steve Nicol’s New England to Chivas USA which to me is the most mexican in their style of play, to lots in between.

[...] SORE LOSERS: “What we see is a pattern in Mexican Football: a pattern based on the sense of entitlement instilled by the Mexican media and commentators on Spanish language television here in the United States. The sense of entitlement states that FMF sides must always beat MLS sides and that every US victory over Mexico at the international level is somehow illegitimate and unworthy.The behavior of the Atlante players at the end of Wednesday night’s game is clear example of the bitterness and anger Mexican players feel when shown up by American counterparts. ” (Kartik Krishnaiyer via Major League Soccer Talk.)
