Bad game, racism, or a bit of both? Some say Mexicans were attacked without previous provocation, others say they were verbally abusing and molesting girls.

Only lies! There was only 130 Chorzow football supporters (not hooligans) and 56 Mexicans. The fight was between 30 Polish and 15 Mexicans. Before fight Mexicans behaved very bad. The were groping Polish women. The Polish football supporters started fight when one Mexican punched one Polish lady in face. Prosecutor said the Polish attacked, but the police press officer Mr. Mariusz Sokolowski said the Mexicans are blamed for starting the fight (after viewing CCTV). During the fight Mexicans used knives and broken bottles. And the most important thing is that the prosecutor as the court to send 3 of Polish football supporters to custody for 3 months, but the court have sent them free after bail of 1000 PLN (GBP 200) was paid. I Know all these thing because I was on that beach that afternoon. Thanks for reading and do not believe in lies!

I didn't even know Mexico even had soldiers. They probably keep them in other countries because Mexico is too dangerous.

Not much of a fight.

[thebassist]

Final score:

Mexico 2, Poland 3.

[Akula]

considering the Mexicans regularly throw batteries and bags of feces and urine at the US soccer players when we play in the Azteca stadium there, and all the bad sh*t the cartels do I wouldn't be so quick to defend the Mexicans here. They certainly do seem to give as good as they get. But would assume some Don Juan was hitting on a Polish girl and things got out of hand? You know how girls love a man in uniform!!

On another note, sure seems like sailors/marines of all nations seem to get into epic battles with the natives no matter where their shore leave is...I would guess being stuck on a ship for weeks/months on end creates a ton of pent-up sexual aggression/frustration (and bad game?).

Mexicans aren't the type to be around when drunk. I know this because I am Mexican myself. However, Mexicans usually fight each other far worse than with foreigners.

I work out with Mexicans every week in the gym and they are much more polite than Americans. The polish men were probably just jealous.

I believe this to be the first on record.

People get jealous when men of different color hit on their women.... In my short 2 month experience in the Baltics the Hispanics absolutely tore it up.
