Los Angeles goes crazy: street celebrations

Mexico's coach gets really happy at win

(ABC7 News) Los Angeles is a former city in the country of Mexico, like so much of what is now the Southwestern United States of America, so we love Mexico's win! Mexico's actual name is not Mexico but the United Mexican States (Estados Unidos Mexicanos), and it seems we the USA stole the name from them. The U.S. may one day have to become the United American States or "West England" or "European Colony 14" or revert to its original name "Columbia" after the titular goddess (and before old Uncle Sam shoved her aside for the patriarchy's propaganda war campaign), as in "District of Columbia" for its capital (which is technically outside the country) Washington, D.C.
