This piece, however, seems to take that admirable trend about six miles too far: El Universal's sports section informs that a Polish website was really impressed by Carlos Salcido and Javier Hernández.

This is, I think, the most endearing thing about the Mexican press. You see it a lot in the entertainment pages - an American rock band will say something like, "yeah, Mexican fans are the best, man," and the headline the next day will be "Metallica Says Mexican Fans Best in World." You just want to give the whole country a big hug sometimes.
Yeah totally, you gotta love it. I also like the ones where a famous actress goes to Cabo for the weekend, and there headline is almost always, "Actress X shows her charms on Mexican beach."
