Mexico City’s government said on Friday it is considering measures to limit the sale of alcohol in public spaces, after over 700,000 people gathered downtown to celebrate Mexico’s soccer team advancing to the knockout stage of the World Cup.
Mexico’s victory against South Korea saw massive street celebrations, with fans dressed in green Tri jerseys or wearing colourful Lucha Libre masks and dancing in the rain, waving flags, singing anthems and blowing on vuvuzelas.
