welcome to conmebol, where you boo the other countries anthem.
Nah, that's definitely not restricted to CONMEBOL. Just watch a game between Germany and France, Italy, the Netherlands or Austria, for example ;) Doesn't even matter who's playing at home.

And if I'm honest, I'd really miss something if they wouldn't whistle during the opponent's anthem.
 
Doesn't this mean "shit" or "crap" in English? What's the story behind this being said positively?

It turns out that this is actually a positive statement, which is more easily understood with the aid of a precisely inserted comma, which would make a more correct translation be something along the lines of “Viva Chile, Damn it!” in which the mierda emphasizes the Viva Chile expression.

Mierda can be used ot a lot of form, like shit can be used for surprised or joy in some english statements.

Also some actors use the expression "mierda, mierda" for giving some luck in their performances.


Ok Gaf see u in the other side!
 
Rooting for Chile now. Drowning out a teams national anthem is really gross, hope those fans don't have an opportunity to do that again.

Edit: everyone does this? What the hell, South America?
 
anthems dont get played on conmebol qualifiers and sometimes they only play the home team one.
we are like that :(

Really? I have never noticed this in europe.
 
They did.
I guess only because they got booed first.

stay classy one month every four years soccer fans ?

That shit is soooo infuriating. Last Wld Cup had a twitter ex-buddy ask me "why you support Germany?! They Nazis!!" >:|

Also at the GER/US game, these US fans behind me were saying stupid shit like "that's why Germany lost WWII".
