Who will be this year’s soccer heroes: famous faces from leading teams in European Leagues like Messi, Ronaldo, Salah or Mexico’s Hernandez aka “Chicharito” or new talents making their debut on the world stage?
Every four years when the World Cup comes to town, even those who aren’t normally interested in soccer catch football fever and some become experts, albeit for a short time, as they follow the fortunes of the competing teams.
Football is the national sport here in Mexico and you’ll see plenty of flags out as people prepare to watch their team. The first game is on Sunday and Mexico take on Germany, the World Cup holders and one of the contenders in 2018.
