South of the Border. Mexican soccer fans apparently had unresolved issues after their team's loss to the USA in the World Cup competition. In Juarez they attacked cars with US license plates, most of whose occupants were Hispanic according to an article in the El Paso Times. But life imitated satire when "An El Paso Times photographer was roughed up by several people wearing oversized sombreros and carrying Mexican flags."

Also noteworthy was this AP report that described the crowd in a Mexico City bar watching the game.

Mexicans continue to scoff at the state of soccer knowledge among U.S. sports fans, whose nonchalance toward the game makes defeats even more bitter.

Relatively calm amid the uproar was a group in Mexican jerseys that claimed to be from Canada.

Asked why a Canadian would have a southern U.S. accent, Michelle Tate, 27, admitted she was from Memphis, Tenn.

"We went out and bought Mexican jerseys and Mexican T-shirts as camouflage," said Chris Calott, 41, an architecture professor from the University of New Mexico.

While Calott said he was a soccer fan, none of his five companions had ever watched a complete game before, let alone a match of the World Cup, which is held every four years.

"I wouldn't be watching if I weren't here," Tate admitted. "I didn't even know that the World Cup was every three years."

I'd rather be fishing.
