South Korea’s upset victory over Germany, the World Cup’s defending champions, had fans chanting in the streets — in Mexico.
Germany’s loss on Wednesday meant Mexico would advance to the knockout round and get another chance at the final, despite having lost its own match to Sweden.
Mexico lived to fight another day and had the South Koreans to thank — and thank them they did.
One last tweet about Byoung-jin Han: that tequila shot he took while wearing a Mexico jersey lent to him by a fan? Another fan @sebasaspe passed this along: pic.
