The Mexico national football team is experiencing a unique moment in the World Cup, with a party that doesn't need a stadium and an emotion that transcends football. Diego Álvarez Bada, founder and president of the 'La villa de Quini' fan club, the first and only official Sporting fan club in Mexico and outside of Spain, says that the World Cup in Mexico is crazy. People have taken to the streets, fan zones are full, squares are full, bars, restaurants, event centers... everything. And when Mexico plays, the country comes to a standstill. It's not just a figure of speech, it really does. There's a lot of traffic during the day, but before the game, everything disappears. People leave work, everything is organized around the game. It's like the whole country is breathing at the same time for 90 minutes. And then comes the best part, the game ends... and everything explodes. The Paseo de la Reforma, the main avenue of the capital, becomes a river of people. Guadalajara is the same, the Minerva is full, everyone is on the streets like it's a final. On weekdays, it doesn't matter. If Mexico wins, it doesn't matter what day it is. It's a party that doesn't need a stadium. That's what's catching my attention from afar, that the World Cup in Mexico doesn't depend on getting in or not, it's that it's everywhere. And there's also the atmosphere with people who have come from outside, Korea, Czech Republic, South Africa, Sweden, Tunisia, Colombia, Uzbekistan, and other countries that are coming to see what's happening here... people from all over, mixed in the streets. Not just in the stadiums, but also outside. It's a World Cup that feels truly global in Mexico. Not ordered, not controlled... but alive. And the curious thing is that Mexico's football hasn't been brilliant, they've won against Korea, they've competed, but they haven't impressed. And yet the city is overflowing. Two wins and it already seems like the country is like a world champion. And I don't know how far this can go if the Tri is finally able to overcome that wall of the round of 16 that has been there since 1986. Because if it's already like this now, imagine if they achieve it... or more. It would be total madness. What it transmits to me is that in Mexico, football is not rational, it's pure emotion. It doesn't depend on how you play, but on what you're living in that moment. And all this reaches me while I'm here in the United States, moving around the southeast of the American Union. Spending the week between the games of the Roja, I took the opportunity to get to know the surroundings, starting with Memphis, a more tranquil city, almost with a feeling of a big town. Very marked by music, by the blues, and above all by soul. And it's there that I realize that football is a passion that transcends borders, that unites people from different cultures and countries. And that's what's happening in Mexico, a union of people, a party that doesn't need a stadium, an emotion that transcends football.
