FIFA should just start enforcing no fan games again if they can't control their fans. Or regions refuse to play in certain countries entirely.
So what was the chant? And how did the crowd react?
Per NPR
When Brazil's goalie Julio Cesar prepared to blast a goal kick during last Tuesday's game against Mexico, fans raised their pitch and, just before the point of contact, took a big collective breath and screamed the Spanish word for male prostitute or whore.
So what’s the word then? Puto or what? It irritates me when news sources pussyfoot around the thing that was actually said. How are we supposed to understand in how far this was offensive/discriminatory if they won’t say what it is?
How is that discriminatory? It's tradition, happens every big game.
