As much as the club is revered, the one the fans all came to see Tuesday was Cuauhtemoc Blanco.As much as U.S. supporters love to hate him, Blanco is idolized in Mexico, but in particular among America fans. He is a god. He is immortal. He is their Cuauh, their beloved, their idol.
Anyway, Blanco was cheered for his every move. When he scored a goal during a short-sided game, fans cheered. When he hit a nice ball during a game of soccer-tennis, fans cheered. But when he walked back to the team bus, fans cheered the most. For Blanco was the last member of America to leave the field but took time to sign jerseys and pose with pictures.
