    I think if your team loses you would want the other team to celebrate in their native language. Like there were 93,000 Spanish speaking fans and 500 English speaking fans in the stadium. If the Americans bought the tickets to watch their national team the ceremony woud have been in English.

    I think it's important to remember this was a CONCACAF event...and not a US event. I know it was in the Rose Bowl/US....but CONCACAF includes many countries South of the US...we just happened to have one of the biggest venues in a good weather location.

    Bottom line - most of the 90,000+ speak Spanish as their main language so what's the big deal - Mexico did win the game. Quit whining Howard and stop a shot once in a while!

    He's got a point, as far as I know the official language of this country is English.

    7 countries (Mexico, Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Cuba) participating in the tournament acknowledge Spanish as their native / official language whereas only 4 acknowledge English (USA, Canada, Jamaica, Grenada).

    The lone holdout is Guadeloupe, a French territory.

    the big deal is that he's absolutely right that if this was played in mexico city and USA won there you can damn well bet the ceremonies would not have been in English. that is the point.

    When I watched this live I thought it was more of a tv thing. Univision broadcast the games and I thought that was their announcers doing the post game.

    I can certainly see where Howard was coming from though.

    you mexicans talking shit are gonna have to win about 10 more games against the USA to match that

    10-2. win one match and pretend all this never happened? I guess that's why you're going extra hard on the trash talk
