Philadelphia Union fans were eagerly following the Carlos Valdés saga today, and San Lorenzo fans were doing the same - however with a far angrier tone. A few samples (NSFW language).
Donde ca***o estas @carlosvaldes5!!!! #SanLorenzo te necesita YA aca, devolve con gratitud lo que te dio #SanLorenzo para llegar al Mundial

(Where the f**k is Carlos Valdés ? San Lorenzo needs you here, return with gratitude to San Lorenzo who gave you a chance at the World Cup)
@carlosvaldes5 Volver a entrenar con San Lorenzo LA P**A QUE TE PARIO! Jugamos en 9 dias, pedazo de pelotudo..
- Santiago. +1m² (@OtroCuervo) July 15, 2014
(Carlos get back to training with San Lorenzo YOU F**KING WHORE! We play in nine days you little asshole.. )
@carlosvaldes5 si el 23 no estas aca puede que termines jugando con Andres Escobar. Pensalo
- Rulo (@angryroolo) July 15, 2014
(Carlos if 23 doesn't show you may be playing with Andres Escobar.)
And these were the ones that didn't devolve into racism. Now (as we should all be acutely aware of) you can't judge an entire fan base off of a few tweets, let's hope this helps push the needle back toward MLS - especially since El Pais is reporting that he was in Colombia for a celebration of the World Cup team held by América de Cali. It is of note that Valdés did play for Cali from 2006-2009.
