Why this matters in The El Paso
El Pasoans are likely to be closely watching the progress of the Mexican national team, given the city's strong cultural and economic ties to Mexico. As one of the first teams to clinch a spot in the round of 16, Mexico's success could bring a surge of excitement and pride to the local community. The potential matchup against Cabo Verde in the next round will be of particular interest to El Paso residents, who will be eager to see how their favored team performs. Additionally, the presence of the US national team in the round of 16, with a potential matchup against Ecuador, will also draw local attention, given the significant number of soccer fans in the El Paso area who follow the US team. As the tournament progresses, local businesses and community groups may organize watch parties and other events to capitalize on the excitement and bring people together to cheer on their favorite teams.
