One of the best parts of the World Cup has been watching all the fanbases having the time of their lives, and while there have been some real standouts (shoutout Tartan Army), I don't think anyone celebrates like they do down in Mexico.
It's no secret that Mexican fans are about as passionate as they come — speaking from experience having watched a Mexico-Brazil 2014 World Cup match in a Cancun bar — and they love a good celebration.
On Tuesday night, after harassing them the night before at their team hotel, Mexico sent Ecuador packing in a Round of 32 match at Mexico City Stadium. It was their first knockout-stage win since 1986.
Then, after the first punch, it became clear this was probably the first time either one had ever put on a pair of boxing gloves.
It was obvious that No. 22 won that one, but I don't think there were any losers last night in Mexico. The place was electric.
The celebration can't go on forever (or maybe it can, who knows?) because Mexico has a big match coming up against England, which defeated DR Congo on Wednesday to advance to the Round of 16.
That match will take place on July 5 at Mexico City Stadium.
