Mexico at the Fifa 2018 World Cup

This country is crazy about football. They learned how to suffer with their national selection ('El Tri') but the 2018 Fifa World Cup brought the Mexicans so much joy.

Squad player Javier Hernandez when confronted about Mexico's lack of chances to win in the group stage against South Korea, Sweden, and the reigning world champions Germany responded as follows:

"¡Imaginemos Cosas Chingonas Carajo!"

Not willing to give up before the tournament has started: "Let's imagine f***ing wild things, for gods sake!" (translated)

What followed were 2 impressive wins:

  • Germany 0 - Mexico 1
  • South Korea 1 - Mexico 2

And a promotion out of the group stage. People were very happy.
