It may be part our fault since the US does consume drugs, but I think Mexico is a real hell-hole nowadays. That drug war is as dirty as can be. Sven Goran Eriksson was lucky to be fired and leave there. Mexico and other parts of Latin America are full of kidnappings too, the poor Honduras forward Wilson Palacios who played against the USA last week had his brother kidnapped in Honduras, Palacios paid money but his brother was still killed. I think Mexico as a whole is sick right now, with this kind of terror on the streets.

Really? Setting aside, for a second, how this would reflect poorly on the CONCACAF region, I don't see how you can make this statement.
The Mexican fans have been about as boorish as it gets when it comes to the U.S. Have you forgotten the chants of "Osama" at the games? Or when Mexican fans threw bags of urine at U.S. players?
I realize that the actions of a few should not be imputed to a whole country. But I am pretty sure the hatred of the U.S. extends far beyond just a few people in Mexico.
