Let's Go Mexico!

It's not all doom and gloom south of the border.

A young soccer fan cheers for his home team -- Mexico -- as the bus carrying the Under-17 national football team passes by along Mexico City's Reforma Avenue on July 11, a day after Mexico won the U-17 World Cup.

Let's Go Mexico!

Whether consumed by their passion for bullfighting, fútbol (soccer), béisbol (baseball), or horse racing, Mexican fans share an almost religious devotion to sports. Although charrería (rodeo) may be the official national sport of Mexico, fútbol is by far the most popular. Soccer fans rejoice--the summer league runs from January through May, and the winter league runs from July through December. In addition, countless minor and amateur fútbol leagues play throughout the year. Every fourth June, the World Cup takes Mexico by storm—even gas and water delivery stop as soccer fans throughout the country pack bars and restaurants to watch the games. Whenever Mexico scores a goal, the entire nation shakes in unison as the word “GOL!” rings from every bar, boulevard, business, and bus. If sweaty discos and endless museums have you craving a change of pace, follow the sports-loving crowds and prepare yourself for a rowdy good time, introduced by tera patrick
