Despite beating Saudi Arabia 2-1 in their last group encounter in Qatar, Mexico was eliminated from the tournament because they finished level on points with Poland.
Mexico Fan Punches And Stabs His TV Following The Country’s World Cup Exit
Upon seeing the outcome, a fan of Mexico showed his distress by smashing his TV in a manner that few would expect anyone to do let alone a football fan.
In the video here, a Mexico supporter is shown punching a TV screen before running off camera to get a large knife – then repeatedly stabbing it. After walking away from the TV, the fan is seen to be deeply affected.
That was not the only thing that had occurred for Mexico, though. The circumstances surrounding the manner in which they were knocked out were hard to swallow.
In their first match of the tournament, Mexico played to a 0-0 draw with Poland before suffering a 2-0 loss to Argentina. They then faced Saudi Arabia in a nail-biting match.
Henry Martin scored the lone goal, and Luis Chavez provided a masterful free-kick. Mexico needed a single goal to advance through to the knockout stages, owing to FIFA’s strict fair play policy.
However, Saudi Arabia scored in the final minute, eliminating them on goal difference. Their failure to advance past the group stage in Qatar was the worst performance by Mexico at a World Cup since 1978.
Just when you thought that was bad enough, the stability of the team was impacted following the news that manager Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino had been sacked.
The fans on social media could not help but troll the whole situation. And in the process of doing so, the comments were very brutal indeed. One person wrote: “Canelo should buy him a tv now instead looking for@messi.”
It is fair to say that this was not the supporter’s finest moment, which is why the next World Cup cannot come soon enough. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
