Mexico fans are dreaming of a World Cup win, with a revamped team that has surprised them since the start of the tournament. The team remains undefeated without conceding a goal, giving fans hope for a quarterfinals spot.
Mexico’s History of Victories
Mexico’s history of victories at Estadio Azteca is in its favor, as is the city’s altitude of over 2,200 meters. The English team knows this and has tried to keep its base hotel a secret to prevent Mexican supporters from repeating the unbearable serenade they gave Ecuador.
Analysts don’t have high expectations for Mexico to make it to the final, but fans dare to ask: What if they can? Mexico’s youngest player, 17-year-old Gilberto Mora, and a naturalized Mexican citizen from Colombia, Julián Quiñones, are symbols of hope for many fans.
The power of soccer to unite and inspire is well known, but some believe that in Mexico it goes even further. Mexico fans haven’t stopped celebrating since the team’s victory in the opening match against South Africa.
