Monterrey turns into a sea of Mexico green, even without El Tri on the field‎

Those watching the World Cup on television may have noticed large patches of fans wearing Mexico's jersey in Monterrey, even though El Tri doesn’t play in the city. Located in the state of Nuevo León, Monterrey is the only Mexican host city not to feature the country's national team — but this hasn’t stopped swaths of fans from wearing dark green and enjoying the World Cup spectacle in their hometown. “It’s a good deal for the country and also for the city,” said Manuel Pérez, a resident of Monterrey who attended the round of 32 game between Netherlands and Morocco on Monday.
