🎥 Tequila, party, good vibes: how Mexico marked the World Cup opener! | OneFootball

The World Cup has been in full swing since yesterday. And quite apart from what is happening on the pitch, the tournament is providing plenty of images that are currently going viral on social media.

These are the moments that will make this World Cup something unique, despite everything surrounding it.

Mexico’s new favorite

Before the match between South Korea and the Czech Republic, Mexican fans in the Guadalajara fan zone spotted a South Korean supporter and literally lifted him up in celebration.

No tequila? No problem!

Nothing goes to waste here. That is what these South Korean fans must have thought before entering Akron Stadium. As expected, security did not allow any bottle of tequila into the stands. But the reaction to it is brilliant.

Tequila as fuel for work

Somehow, tequila kept taking center stage yesterday. This Brazilian reporter can confirm that.

The silence of the losers

The impression South Africa left in the opening match against Mexico was far from the best. And that was also reflected in the faces of several legends on national television. Benny McCarthy, Quinton Fortune… none of them were exactly in a celebratory mood after the 0–2 defeat.
