Sven-Goran Eriksson, the recently appointed coach of Mexico’s national soccer team, spent some time with the media in downtown Los Angeles yesterday.
‘Near the end of a news conference ... Eriksson was asked by a female television reporter what he thought of chili. ‘Since Mexico is playing Chile on Wednesday at 8 p.m. at the Coliseum, Eriksson started talking about Santiago. ‘The television reporter laughed and said no, she meant the food, not the country. ‘It might have been a set-up, but Eriksson took the joke well and afterward made a point of meeting and shaking hands with the reporter, the only one of four dozen writers and photographers in the room so honored,’ reports Grahame L. Jones.
