Mexico in the World Cup

I know that this is a blog mainly for the Huskers, but judging from the DMB piece, I thought this would be alright. I think we need to recognize Mexico in the World Cup, being our North American neighbors and all.

The referees in the World Cup have been terrible, and in Mexico's game it was not any different. Mexico started the game attacking and having the ball. Rafael Marquez scored the first goal of the game really early. Argentina tied the game, scoring on their own goal. During the goal there was a little bit of controversy since the Mexican player was getting pushed to the ground when he made contact with the ball. The second half was entertaining. During overtime Argentina scored one of the best, if not the best, goal of the World Cup. Mexico did not handle the pressure very good. A lot was expected from this team and a lot of people from Mexico are going to be disappointed.

Actually, this paragraph is courtesy of Jose Rivera in today's issue of the Lincoln Journal Star. Thought this was hillarious for some reason, so I thought I would bring it to everyone's attention, since I'm not sure how closely you monitor the LJS. I thought it particularly funny that they didn't really even try to improve the grammar or flow of the paragraph.

The latest college football news in the mecca of Lincoln: Bobby Bowden was here yesterday. We are all honored.

Hey D, by all means, if something's interesting, let's talk about it. The blog wasn't intended to be Huskers only.

Besides, I'm all about getting some page hits from Mexico. Now if I were a savvy web-marketer, I'd throw up a banner ad for soap and we would OWN the Mexican blog-reading demographic.

Mexicans can unly run drug and prostitute rings. Why worry about anything else?
