Mexico and Portugal drew 0-0 in the first half of the match. The lack of goals led to a classic fan chant: the singing of 'Cielito Lindo,' which apparently did not motivate the players on the field much, as they could not hit the target. The 'chilangos' (Mexico City residents) had already started with their 'cielito lindo.' The match ended 0-0 with some chances at the goal but nothing more to highlight. For Mexico, it was a relatively positive result given the flow of the game and the quality of the rival. However, this left the fans unsatisfied. In the end, the public could not see a victory for Mexico, nor a goal from Portugal, and, probably even more painful for the fans who bought tickets, they also did not see their beloved forward Cristiano Ronaldo. I must tell you, fans, that CR7 has a back problem, so he will not be playing or giving autographs... The next match for the Mexican National Team is on Tuesday against Belgium, another strong contender in the preparation for the 2026 World Cup. Although this match is played in the United States and not on national soil, the public expects to see a better display from the national team... or, at least, some goal that would excite them weeks before the World Cup. In this regard, jokes were not lacking. Where did I have to leave my car to go to the Mexico - Portugal match. Of course, another thing to highlight was the return of Guillermo Ochoa, who dreams of playing in another World Cup... and although the favorite for the starting spot is 'Tala' Rangel, it is impossible for the presence of 'Paco Memo' to go unnoticed. Tiger eye, Memo Ochoa! Tiger eye! One of the novelties was the call-up of Álvaro Fidalgo, a Spanish naturalized Mexican, who, upon his arrival at Betis in LaLiga, will apparently be a starter and a hope for a better performance for Mexico. Me when I saw Fidalgo singing the national anthem. The renovations at the Estadio Banorte were focused, among other aspects, on the user experience; however, images of fans who found seats right at the pitch level went viral, something that would sound ideal... if it weren't for a fence that blocked their view. The poor guy who paid for a ticket in the front row to see Cristiano and will see neither Cristiano nor anyone: The first half had some goal actions, mainly for Portugal. 'It suddenly became canon!' As predicted by The Simpsons, the 0-0 in the Mexico vs. Portugal disappointed football fans who were expecting a flood of goals at the inauguration of the Estadio Banorte. Episode 14 of season 14 of the popular show, titled 'The Family Goes to Washington,' featured a supposed match between Mexico and Portugal where there were no major emotions, and then the famous clown Krusty yells: 'Come on, you lumps, do something!'. Due to the context and the lack of goals on the scoreboard, it was impossible for the already popular meme not to appear on social networks... along with many others. Best memes of Mexico vs. Portugal. The thing started with hope and some, even admitted, they wanted to see a good presentation from the Mexican National Team, although generally they are not in their favor due to the lack of results in the World Cup. The operation around the Estadio Banorte caused the perimeter to be closed a mile from the venue and there was no opportunity to enter the parking lot. However, the lack of goals annoyed the fans, who even booed in the stadium after the final whistle.
