As an American soccer fan, it hurts me to see Mexico do well. But I have serious respect for their fan base and team in general. And it garners CONCACAF more respect.

I’m from Southwestern Virginia.

That is, the SW corner of Virginia.

Appalachia. Coal country. Trump country. Center of the opioid crisis.

It’s unfortunate.

I've known a couple of Mexicans here when I went to school - most of them exchange students. Most of them were very nice lads and lassies, actually.

Latin American soccer fans generally have quite a special mindset. Nowhere in these countries, a Mesut Özil refusing to sing the national anthem would survive ;)
