Mexico put its 2018 FIFA World Cup future in doubt Wednesday after the team fell 3-0 to Sweden, surrendering control of Group F.
However, Germany suffered what likely was the most shocking loss of the tournament when South Korea, the lowest-ranked team in the group, eliminated the reigning champions with a 2-0 win. The victory allowed Mexico to stay in the runner-up spot in Group F, and its fanbase did not let its gratitude go unnoticed.
Estrella Jalisco, the official beer of the Mexican team, shipped some cases of the beverage to the South Korean embassy in Washington D.C.
