CONACAF and Tim Howard's problem with them

In case you didn't know....your country's national team played some soccer yesterday. In what has developed into a highly contested battle,  Mexico defeated the United States 4-2 at the Rose Bowl in California. As expected, the crowd was about 80-90% Mexican-American (Insert laughter as you wonder how many of the 91,000 were illegally there. You know I'm right). It was mostly competitive in the first half, as the US jumped to a two goal lead only to see the half end in a 2-2 tie. The second half was all Mexico. While we were able to contain the storm that is Javier Hernandez...it just didn't matter. Congrats to Mexico and onto the World Cup...

Now the piss poor organization that is CONACAF and Tim Howard, the United States ALL-WORLD goalie....

It seems that CONACAF decided to conduct the awards ceremony entirely in Spanish. Yes, the American team playing in California received their silver medals while CONACAF officials spoke a language that as Americans they may not know. It was noted by an AP reporter that Howard was visibly displeased by the ceremony. And he had something to say about it as well. "CONACAF should be ashamed of themselves. I think it was a fucking disgrace that the entire postmatch ceremony was in Spanish. You can bet your ass if we were in Mexico City, it wouldn't be all in English! But that's not why we lost the game. They've got some special players, who put us in some bad situations." CONACAF's spokesman has declined to comment.

Well, this is just a crappy situation. If the audience is 80% Mexican/maybe Mexican-American, then it is very possible the majority of the crowd wouldn't understand English. But i really don't care about that. Why as Americans should we be disrespected by the CONACAF? Why not say the ceremony in English and have a Spanish translator to translate between sentences? Why not show this country a little fucking respect? And while I could also be talking about Pres. Calderon, I'm don't have enough time to tell you what a puppet/brat he is.

Howard is right though. No getting around it. English would not be used in a ceremony in Mexico City if the US won the Gold Cup there. The United States is probably the only large economic country that an organization like CONACAF would feel comfortable in disrespecting in this manner. That is both true and our fault. We HAVE to be tougher. On everything. Much like the United Nations, CONACAF has no REAL social power but they like to kick dirt in the US's face. And like the tolerant older sibling, we just sit there and allow it. I could delve deeper into this but I feel like I'd be beating a dead horse.

While Tim Howard is one of the top ranked goalies in the world and has showed the cojones to speak on a social/political issue....DO NOT think Mr Howard is without fault. I relay this information from an extremely reliable source who says he is 100% confident about its content....

In 2nd grade, while attending Judd Elementary in NJ, Tim Howard and his friend Jared poured bleach down a water fountain. Tainting the water system and forever ruining my source's favorite fountain after PE. The shame...THE SHAME!!!!!
