You're Welcome, Mexico!

Tonight the United States Men's National Soccer Team beat Panama 3-2 in Panama to keep Mexico's hopes of reaching the World Cup Final alive. Yes it ruined Panama's dreams, but quite frankly if you couldn't beat the American B team with a 1 goal lead in stoppage time you didn't deserve to go anyway Panama. Mexico, like all good football teams that wear green, limped into this playoff through the backdoor and sparked by this will probably find a way to defeat New Zealand (which blogger doesn't think is a real word apparently?); and though I can't personally say I will be rooting for them (because I won't be) I can say that you're welcome, Mexico, but now you owe us!

In exchange for keeping you in the World Cup hunt Mexico now must allow for "Taco Tuesday" to be every single day of the week. That's right, Monday is now "Taco Tuesday", Wednesday, nope, not "hump day" but "Taco Tuesday" and on and on. Next, we would like a lifetime supply of Sombrero's shipped to America and the ability to co-use the word "siesta" as well as take them regularly during work days. Lastly we would like to ask you to stop naming your sports teams racist things like "Redskins" because it's really offending the natives who allowed for this country to have a soccer team in the first place.

Let's also not forget the type of financial impact missing the World Cup would have on a country like Mexico. According to Leon Krauze, a writer for Bloomberg  “If it doesn't [Mexico] make it to the World Cup, everything related to it will devaluate. Losses could be upwards of $600 million.” 

This type of financial loss would have been (and still could be) detrimental to Mexico and really drag down on them for years to come. It's almost amazing how a sports can carry a country so mightily...

But not to rain on their parade, go enjoy your playoff with New Zealand (still not a word according to Blogger), you deserve it!

Really cool stuff, they really are grateful and you can't knock that.

America can just sit back relax and tell this Mexico for a while now "Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, consider this justice a gift on my daughter's wedding day."

Minus the whole daughters wedding day thing...but you know, you get what I mean.
