You can tell a lot about a country by how it treats visitors.
When South Korea's team arrived in Guadalajara, Mexico this week for the World Cup, they were greeted with sombreros. Son Heung-min and the rest of the squad, received not just as visiting athletes but as guests of a country that has a soft spot for them.
This isn't new. In 2018, when South Korea's win over Germany saved Mexico from elimination, Mexicans poured into the streets chanting "Coreano hermano, ya eres mexicano." Korean brother, you are now Mexican.
Eight years later, the warmth is still there. Mexico has a particular gift for making visitors feel at home, not just hosted.
It's not a performance. It's just how Mexico does it.
El jueves se espera que mil millones de personas en el mundo estén viendo a los 11 mexicanos que puteamos cada 7 días.
Se viene el inicio del mundial 2026 🇲🇽 🇨🇦 🇺🇸
