* VIDEO SPECIAL: You swine! Mexican is spitting mad after flu jibe Defender has caused outrage by gobbing in the face of his opponent in reaction to wind-up
A Mexican defender caused outrage by coughing and spitting in the face of a Chilean opponent after growing tired of swine flu jibes.
Chivas' Hector Reynoso also emptied his nose on Sebastian Penco after allegedly being called a leper by the Everton Vina del Mar forward.
The Mexicans were in Chile for a tie in the Copa Libertadores - Latin America's equivalent of the Champions League - and had reported discrimination from locals when they went out shopping in the run-up to the match.
Reynoso, 28, said: 'In the market place, people got out of our way, covered their mouths and ridiculed us. They laughed at us a little but in the end we knew that sort of situation was possible. But we came here to play football.
'You turn the television on and all you hear about is the flu, and Mexico is mentioned a lot.
'It's almost like a type of discrimination and even to an extent sort of like racism.
'I think it was because of some misinformation as well as too much information about the matter.'
In the end, Chivas got the last laugh, secuing a 1-1 draw that was good enough to see them go through to the knock-out stages of the competition.
Everton, in their centenary year after being set up by fans of the Merseyside club, were knocked out.

You are a credit to your race.
Fuck you if you can't take a joke.

It's a fine line between being too specific and long winded and therefore too irritating to bother to read, and being too cryptic and therefore too irritating to try to interpret.
