Mexicans shower Koreans with love after Asian team's World Cup win over Germany

in #news6 years ago

As Mexico fell behind by one goal, two goals and then three in its World Cup game against Sweden on Wednesday, Mexico fans across the world switched their television channels to another game that had suddenly become much more important.

With a loss to Sweden all but guaranteed, Mexico's future in the tournament depended on South Korea beating Germany, or at least hold the reigning World Cup champion to a tie.

"Korea, Korea," Mexican fans chanted in cantinas, plazas and anywhere else screens had been erected to broadcast the game. Never mind that only days before the same fans had been cheering against Korea when Mexico won 2-1.

In the end, Korea came through for Mexico, not just holding off Germany, but scoring twice in second-half added time. Mexican fans cheered wildly when Kim Young-gwon fired off the first goal two minutes into extra time.
