They're not saying "Mooo-vers"

They're booing.

The Peruvian national soccer team was not greeted with a champions welcome at the airport.

Not after a 4-0 loss to Mexico -- with all goals scored in the first half-hour, no less.

Humiliated and embarrassed, the team was also insulted by Peru's president Alan Garcia:
President Garcia joined the criticism when he told reporters: 'It was a disgrace, let me cover my face. Terrible, terrible.'
Getting ripped by the president?

Ouch!

Then again, South Americans are known for taking soccer failure a little too seriously. Right Colombia?
