Goodbye Mexico 😢 sad to leave. thanks for being such brilliant hosts in the Azteca and across your vibrant city. Thanks for being so sporting in defeat and embracing England fans with warmth and drinks. You lost a football match but won many, many friends 🇲🇽🏴🦁💚
To everyone in Mexico City who made England supporters feel so welcome over the last few days, thank you. What an incredible city you have, and even better people.
For those who travelled from England, this will be remembered as one of the favourite away trips. Thank you to everyone who organised, hosted and welcomed us with such warmth and respect.
From the Chihuahuas at our Fans’ Embassy to the Lucha Libre, to the bars and the restaurants, the incredible stadium atmosphere and the respect shown after the final whistle, it’s been a trip we’ll never forget.
Now it’s on to Miami (via anywhere and everywhere in between), but we hope our paths cross again soon. 🏴🤝🇲🇽

México es la tierra de los que nunca se rinden ni dejan de creer o alentar, los que trabajan duro por cada meta, los que apoyan sin dudar.
Los que sueñan sin fronteras, los que siempre están dispuestos a luchar y los que saben que con unidad, esfuerzo, fe y trabajo no hay imposibles de lograr.
Hoy es dejarlo todo dentro y fuera de la cancha como si no hubiera mañana y con la certeza de que dejamos el corazón y el alma en cada jugada y cada grito para apoyar.
Hoy el país entero se mueve, hoy el mundo vuelve a vibrar con el #SomosMéxico y más. 💚🤍❤️
Zlatan Ibrahimović on Mexico eliminating Ecuador to reach the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 with four wins from four:
🗣️ “Four wins from four? Stop calling this a surprise. Mexico aren't surviving this World Cup they're conquering it. They didn't come here to make up the numbers, they came here to shake the entire tournament.”
“People underestimated them before the first whistle. Now look at them. Every opponent they've faced has been forced to respect them the hard way. That's what happens when a team plays with heart, courage and absolute belief.”
“To the Mexican fans... enjoy this moment because you've earned it. You've carried this team with your voices, your passion and your faith. Tonight your players repaid every kilometre travelled and every tear you've shed supporting this badge.”
“Ecuador fought with everything they had, but Mexico wanted history more. That's the difference. In knockout football, talent alone isn't enough you need warriors. Tonight Mexico looked like an army.”
“And to every team still left in this World Cup... be careful. This Mexico side is no longer chasing respect they've already taken it. Now they're chasing the trophy, and if you underestimate them, you'll be the next team going home.”
I learned something really nice today.
Back in 1888, during the Meiji era, Mexico signed a treaty with Japan as equals — something that was still rare for Japan back then. Because of that long history of friendship, the Mexican Embassy sits in Nagatacho, one of the most important areas in Tokyo.
It’s a quiet but meaningful symbol of how Mexico has been kind to Japan for a very long time.
And even now, so many Mexican fans cheer for Japan with such genuine warmth. It makes me feel really grateful.
To everyone in Mexico who supports us — thank you. We’re truly lucky to have friends like you 🇲🇽❤️🇯🇵
Una vez tuve un sueño "poder jugar con mi selección en un mundial".
Hoy soy el más feliz porque ese sueño se hará realidad. Gracias Dios por ayudarme a cumplir mis sueños y a toda mi familia que sin ustedes esto no sería posible.
México se merece estar en lo más alto del mundo.
¡¡DE PRIMER MUNDO!! 🏟️🇲🇽
