fulfillment of a promise: a Mexican fan shows unshakable dedication in the game of Argentina against Ecuador

The story of Juan Pecero is one of courage, dedication and passion for football. Despite a stroke and the loss of his leg, the Mexican did not miss the opportunity to accompany his daughter to the NRG Stadium in Houston to see the game between Argentina and Ecuador.

The proud father, Juan Pecero, relies on his crutches and strikes every step firmly on the floor while moving to the NRG stage in Houston. The Mexican flag protects him from the burning heat of 34 degrees Celsius and he is determined to experience the football game for his daughter.

Although Mexico is not represented in this tournament, the support for the national team remains strong. Juan and his daughter are determined to enjoy the game, regardless of the result. Juan announces: "I may be missing my leg, but it won't stop me. I had a stroke and was in the hospital for two weeks. The passion for football drives me. Today Mexico is not there, but we are here."

Full of pride, Juan is wearing the jersey of his homeland, which reminds him of the first game of the Mexican national team in 2016. The daughter, on the other hand, supports another idol from Mexico with Julio Urías that combines the love of baseball and football while Ecuador competes against Argentina.

The planned encounter between Mexico and Argentina could not take place, since Mexico did not survive the group phase. Juan explains disappointed: "There were some controversial decisions that made it difficult for us to move into the next round. But we continue to support our team and look forward to experiencing the game between Argentina and Ecuador tonight."

Juan and his daughter have no resentment against the Mexican national team. Instead, they come to enjoy the game and admire the unique talents on the square. For them, the focus is not on competition that evening, but the joy of the game that connects people from different countries and cultures.
