Mexico may not win the world cup, but they won the hearts of the world.
Imagine travelling to the World Cup and stumbling across three masked fans wrestling in the street. ๐ญ
Then, just as you're trying to process what's happening, a woman launches herself into the action like she's Rey Mysterio.
Welcome to Mexico. ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐

Arrived in Rome & went straight to the Pantheon... because when a building has been standing since 126 AD, you show respect.

In Andrea Pirlo's book "I THINK, THEREFORE I PLAY", he reflects on his famous photo with Fabio Cannavaro at the 2006 World Cup final in Berlin:
"In that moment, while we were facing a penalty in the final shootout of 2006, I remembered all the penalty shootouts we had lost in the past few years. I was terrified and couldn't find anyone to talk to, so I hugged Cannavaro and said, 'Fabio, I'm scared.' He didn't respond. We kept watching the penalties, and I said again, 'Fabio, I'm scared.' Still, no response. Just as I was about to say it a third time, he interrupted me and said, 'Shut up, Andrea! I'm about to lift the World Cup in a few minutes!'
