Intro
Cinco de Mayo (like St. Patrick’s Day) is one of those cultural holidays that gringo Americans observe by blacking out and vomiting in cabs. So, in honor of frivolously celebrating that which we don’t understand, we’ve naturally paired Cinco de Mayo with soccer. Oh, and we added really hot chicks—you know—so you'd "read" it. Enjoy!

After slugging down a half dozen Modelos, this Rayados fan takes a nasty fall down the stadium steps. She loses her shirt, tears her jeans, but somehow, saves her cerveza.

Mexico's average temperature during futbol season is 77 degrees, which is why their fans look like this. Green Bay's average temperature during football season is 35 degrees, which is why their fans look like this.
OMG
Tailor Made
Fan of: Mexican National Team
During the 2011 World Cup, Mexico's goalie is repeatedly yellow carded for delay of game. Her mincing about the field in a suggestively altered jersey forces several game stoppages and sent a forward on the Brazilian national team into hypovolemic shock. Tournament officials deny her claim that the uniform was worn "as issued."

Nationalism has never looked so good.
Miss Mexico
There She Is...
Fan of: Looking adorable.
Mexican beauty queens wear soccer jerseys to show pride in their national sport. American beauty queens wear figure-hugging swimsuits with resentment to satisfy their griping stage moms.

The No-Back Jersey

With merchandise sales flatlining, Mexico curiously trades in their traditional soccer uniforms for stomach-baring jerseys and thong-back bottoms.

Jug-gling

The Mexican version of Fireman Ed doesn't need lead a lame chant or to sit on another grown man's shoulders to get attention.

Never Half Mast
Fan of: Club Atlético Monarcas Morelia
The color guard is usually reserved for the not-quite-pom-squad, awkward-in-high-school types, but not in Mexico.

Ines Sainz is the Erin Andrews of Mexico, only she has a sexy accent so that makes her a bit more hot than she already is.

Just My Size
Fan of: Deportivo Toluca Fútbol Club S.A. de C.V
Unable to find a medium half-zip fleece at Old Navy, a Choriceros fan is forced to squeeze into an uncomfortably tight-fitting small. We're not complaining.
Corona Extra
Body Shaped Like a Bottle
Fan of: Sea salt and lime wedges.
In the United States, Goodyear promotes brand awareness by flying an ugly blimp over stadiums. In Mexico, Corona parades really hot girls around at soccer games. Anyone else feel like having a beer?

What a busy day for this lady, a World Cup game and backstage passes to go see Miguel?! *cues the soundtrack*
Solural
Sex Sells
Fan of: Neza FC
Solural is a sports drink—actually—it might be a drug. We don't know, the label is in Spanish and everything in a bottle looks like Fanta here. Anyway, this stuff tastes awesome and we bought a lot of it because this chick is hot.
