Mexico pulled off a come-from-behind victory against USA (4-2) to win the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup championship Saturday marking Mexico's sixth overall Gold Cup title and celebrities didn't miss a beat supporting "El Tri" via Twitter.
The match was filled with exciting displays of athleticism as USA scored the first two goals but Mexico's Pablo Barrea answered with two of his own and Andres Guardado and Giovani Dos Santos contributed a goal each. More than 93,000 fans were in attendance.
George Lopez left no room for doubt about who he was rooting for:
"Mexico Mexico Mexico !!! #Goldcup"
Telenovela heartthrob Kuno Becker also made his allegiance crystal clear:
"Wooooooooooow. Que golazoooooooooooo de Giovani!!!!!!!!!! Viva Mexicooo!!!!"
Despite a fan's inquiry, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez didn't quite commit but hoped to see a good match:
"Hope 4 hi scoring match! RT @KingKmeczik: I wonder who @Mark_Sanchez is cheering for today.. usa or mexico.. either way the man can't lose"
Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya, like many, was on the fence about which team to cheer for:
"I'm going back and fourth with the soccer game and the fights." He went on to tweet, "Que bien el partido de fútbol usa Vs México tengo el corazón partido por la mitad."
Of course when one team cheers the other team jeers. USA winger Landon Donovan took to Twitter to express his disappointment:
"Still bummed about our loss, time for next season. The past is meant to be left behind"
Congratulations to Mexico's on their second consecutive Gold Cup Title!!
Who were you cheering for?
