USA vs. Jamaica Soccer game

I went to watch the USA vs. Jamaica soccer game on Sunday, June 19th at the RFK stadium. The game was the first of the double header, followed by the match between El Salvador and Panama. It was no surprise to see Salvadorian fans show up a little early and watch the U.S. vs. Jamaica game. The stadium was pretty much packed, with probably about 70% Salvadorian fans. During the U.S. Jamaica game I was shocked to hear the Salvadorian fans cheering for the U.S. One of my friends commented that the Salvadorians hate Jamaicans. I don't know the reason behind this, but there is obviously racial issues involved in this. Besides that, the game was very entertaining. The U.S. ended up beating Jamaica 2-0 and we saw 3 of former Terrapins playing for the U.S. National Team.
