bettermirror Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 i was wondering what percentage of these central american fans cheer for a country they have never been to, yet claim to be where they are from? at the guatemala match maybe only the parents and about 5% of the younger adults spoke with any kind of an accent. hell one guy was cheering for guatemala but had big maple leafs painted on his cheeks. makes me wonder how these people who have canada to thank for everything they have are cheering against the country that they can thank for their life, and are cheering for a country they have never visited. that's like me cheering for germany ahead of canada. would never happen.

Cause the first generation keeps the culture and traditions alive..including stories about soccer heroes from back home.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhat Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Latinos generally cheer for Latinos against Canada. Just like in the Pan Ams, Guatemalans cheer for Hondurans, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
