That is Mexico’s all-purpose cheer, essentially meaning “It can be done!” or “You can do it!” And today in the World Cup, they certainly proved that to be true! In a fierce game against France, Mexico prevailed with a 2-0 win. I got (a bit) of face paint on each of my cheeks in preparation for the big game, and Ernesto, María Elena’s 7year old grandson, got all decked out. We celebrated with lots of shouts and some jumping up and down. And of course, after each of the two golden points they scored, there was much repeating of the famous “Goooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaallllllll!!!!!”
