Mexico Falls 3-2 to England, Ending World Cup Run in Heartbreaking Loss
Fans in San Francisco packed watch parties and said Mexico’s 3-2 loss to England still marked its deepest World Cup run since 2018.
Mexico's World Cup run ended Sunday night as the team fell to England 3-2 in a Round of 16 match, marking the deepest tournament run since 2018.
Inside the Teeth Bar on Mission Street in San Francisco, fans created a stadium-like atmosphere for 90 minutes, chanting 'Viva Mexico' while anxiously watching their team battle England.
Manager Brooke Lloyd of Teeth reported match revenue rivaled the Super Bowl, while San Francisco resident Sheila Azcueta stated she supported Mexico due to the Mission's strong Latino community.
The final whistle brought emotional heartbreak as supporters fought back tears and hugged one another, though many fans expressed pride in Mexico's hard-fought tournament quest.
Roberto Martinez vowed the team would return stronger next year, while Alan Guzman remains optimistic about prospects in four years following this memorable tournament run.
Mexico mourns: once again the co-host wakes up the longings of his compatriots, again he misses the World Cup quarter final. And the capital sinks into grave silence.
