Mexico’s Copa América 2024 run is over. The Mexican National Team tied 0-0 with Ecuador in the last game of Group B, which left them with 4 points and only 1 goal scored in the group stage. That was not enough to qualify for the next stage, as Venezuela topped the group with 9 points and Ecuador advanced second, also with 4 points but with a better goal difference than Mexico.
After the game, the internet reacted to Mexico’s loss like the internet always does, with memes.
There were a couple of versions of Latin America is all happy now that Mexico lost, like this one, which reads: “Life in the rest of South America since Mexico and Chile were eliminated in the group stage”
This Spongebob meme:
A parade that includes Power Rangers, Boba Fett, and the boy from Up:
And even Cristiano Ronaldo was present in the memes:
People also brought Taylor Swift into it:
And AMLO:
There was time to celebrate Venezuela and Ecuador too:
And to bring up the fact that the Copa América is a CONMEBOL tournament, not a CONCAF one, so Mexico is technically just a guest:
Plus, the internet really, really wanted to make the point that apparently, seeing Mexico lose makes some men happy, with a collection of football players celebrating and a tweet that reads:
“Women: “Men are not happy with anything”
The men seeing that Mexico was eliminated in a group with Jamaica, Ecuador, and Venezuela”
And finally, there was the Inside Out 2 meme, with Mexico providing the new emotion: Disappointment.
