Summary
Mexico and South Korea supporters gathered together before their World Cup match, partying side by side in a rare pregame scene between opposing fan bases.
Fans described the relationship as friendly rather than competitive, with some calling one another "brother" and even saying they would welcome a draw.
That mood stands out because World Cup buildup often centers on rivalry, making this match notable for shared goodwill as much as for the game itself.
