Mexico fans are dreaming of a World Cup win, with a revamped team that has surprised many 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 is aware of this and has taken measures to prevent Mexican supporters from disrupting their preparations.
Analysts don’t have high expectations for Mexico to make it to the final, but fans are daring to ask: what if they can? The team’s youngest player, 17-year-old Gilberto Mora, and naturalized Mexican citizen Julián Quiñones, are symbols of hope for many Mexicans.
The power of soccer to unite and inspire is well known, but in Mexico, it goes even further. The team’s passion and youth have given fans something to believe in and unite them. Mexico fans haven’t stopped celebrating since the team’s victory in the opening match against South Africa.
