Outside the stadium and across Mexico; fans rushed to thank, praise and extol any Korean person they could find. It was fun, it was over-the-top, it was a smile-inducing storyline for football fans (excluding German ones).

Re: Korea defeating Germany, thus allowing Mexico to progress to the next round–this video of Mexican fans bumrushing the Korean embassy in Mexico City to thank the ambassador personally, and forcing him to down tequila shots is so beautiful and perfect 😂 #KORGER pic.twitter.com/E1GeZCRrlK
