The fans do not give up
Javier arrived at the Plaza de la Constitución at 12:30 p.m. He was wearing a wrestler’s mask and a flag with the phrase: “What if?” Thus, it represented Mexican tradition and the spirit of those present.
The heavy rain did not stop the fans. They took out umbrellas and raincoats to cover themselves. Even the broadcast of the previous match between Brazil and Norway was interrupted for 15 minutes.
The capital authorities reported the total filling of the Zócalo at 3:00 p.m. Mobility was complicated, with attendees moving shoulder to shoulder, especially near the stands and toilets.
The game started until 7:00 p.m., but people did not lose their place or their enthusiasm. Those who did not manage to enter the Zócalo or the Ángel de la Independencia followed the meeting on the screens on Juárez Avenue.
The cheers grew louder with every minute. Bubble baths were common; many ended up with white hair or faces. In nearby streets, some people were consuming beer in cans despite the dry law imposed by the authorities.
Food establishments were packed, while other establishments remained empty. Cantinas on Donceles had the curtains down, but allowed access to fans.
