Fans party at Avaya Stadium as they watch Mexico beat South Korea

They came from miles around Saturday to watch the World Cup match between Mexico and South Korea on the big screen at Avaya Stadium, and loyalties were divided.

About half the fans proudly carried the banner for Pacifico, while the other half showed their love for Modelo.

Somehow, maybe because this is America, darn it, those factions united under a common bond: Adoration of the Mexican team, El Tri.

Want a cheap laugh? Find a guy wearing a two-foot high sombrero and a full-head lucha libre mask, and ask him if he’s rooting for South Korea.

It was a fantastic party. I don’t know what time last call was Saturday, but first call was somewhere around 6 a.m.
