Can Mexico's earthquake sized win over Germany carry them past South Korea on Saturday?
This past Sunday, Mexico dramatically upset Germany in an unexpected 1-0 win. Thousands of fans watching in the heart of Mexico City jumped for joy and celebrated so hard they caused what many consider an artificial earthquake.
The Institute of Geological and Atmospheric Investigations agreed stating highly sensitive earthquake sensors registered tremors at two sites in Mexico City, seven seconds after the game’s 35th minute, when star player Hirving Lozano scored. It called the tremors an “artificial” quake.
The question is, can Mexico win their group against South Korea and Sweden? ESPN's Herculez Gomez and Sebastian Salazar agree Mexico should absolutely clean up their group with their toughest competition in Germany out of the way.
However, Mexico's Andres Guardado fears South Korea more than Germany. Mexico midfielder Andres Guardado wants his teammates to keep their feet on the ground after the 1-0 win over Germany on Sunday and has said that El Tri's second Group F game, against South Korea on Saturday, could be more difficult.
"I have more fear of Korea because less is known about them and that's when you can be overconfident. We have to realize that it will be very complicated and our minds are set on winning and looking for a slightly easier draw."
"This is about results. You can say and send motivational messages, but if you don't obtain results, people won't support you. Today, we spoke on the field and we leave very happy, with tranquility and confidence. It reaffirms what we are doing."
Mexico has the wind at their backs now, let's see how far it will carry.
