América, one of the most popular teams in Mexican football
América is one of the most popular teams in Mexican football, but it is also one of the institutions that generates the most antipathy among fans of other teams.
There are many reasons why an America supporter can turn the stomachs of their detractors.
On the eve of the Clásico Nacional between the Águilas and Chivas, yesterday we showed you the five things that Americanistas cannot tolerate from the rojiblancos. Today it's time to show you what the 'chivahermanos' told us about what they hate about the azulcremas.
No memory
According to Chivas fans, the lack of memory is a characteristic of the 'azulcremas', because "they forget that a few years ago they were deep in the relegation table, leaving their stay in the first division in doubt."
Later on, Guadalajara plunged into the same problem, a situation that the águila nation took advantage of to mock them; "but they didn't remember their dark past."
Occasional supporters
Judging by Chivas fans, their fierce rivals are only there when the team is doing well, and they don't hesitate to turn their backs when there is a crisis.
"When a team in trouble needs more support, Americanistas don't hesitate to turn their backs in the face of a lack of positive results; empty stadiums during the time when América was fighting relegation were a constant sight every time the team played at the Azteca."
Arrogance
If there's one thing that fans of the Rebaño cannot tolerate, it's that the azulcrema supporters constantly boast about their achievements, at least that's what they made clear before Saturday's Clásico.
"They are always there to remind others of how great their team is and what they have achieved throughout their history, downplaying what other clubs and institutions have achieved. When their team is at a disadvantage, that feeling of arrogance slowly fades away."
"Their hateful phrases"
As if it were a dictionary, América fans have popularized some phrases that have not been well received by fans of other teams.
"Expressions that only Americanistas can come up with to exalt their team are some of the things that people can identify them by: 'hate me even more,' 'we are the king of cups' or 'América and that's it' are some of their gems."
"They can't handle anything"
If someone reminds an America fan about the alleged help they have received to win their past titles, they always have an answer for it, and according to Chivas fans: "they only look for excuses and never admit that their titles are stolen."
