Mexico's national football team secured their place in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup with a decisive 2-0 victory over Ecuador. The win sparked widespread celebrations across Mexico, with fans gathering in large numbers, including at the รngel de la Independencia monument in Mexico City.
Communicator Chumel Torres joined the public reaction, sharing posts on X (formerly Twitter) that quickly went viral. His commentary, characterized by irony and criticism, targeted both Ecuador's elimination and the behavior of some Mexican fans. One of his posts humorously inquired about the Ecuadorian term for "this account has been suspended," referencing Ecuador's exit from the tournament.
Does anyone know how to say in Ecuadorian โthis account has been suspendedโ.
However, Torres also used his platform to address unsportsmanlike conduct. He strongly criticized Mexican fans who gathered outside the Ecuadorian team's hotel early in the morning, using horns, fireworks, and loud noises. The Ecuadorian Football Federation had formally complained about this incident, deeming it an attempt to disrupt the team's rest before the crucial match. Torres posted a second message condemning this action, stating, "Not like this. Very bad. Ugly fools. Those are not the ways. Yuck. Be good. Shake hands. Don't win. Apologize to them. What ugly fans. We're going to tell your mom."
