Mexico

The 2018 World Cup was a fiesta of fun, and this snap perfectly captures the festive spirit. A peppy lass decked out in a magnificently crafted sombrero stood surrounded by a gang of green-clad fans, all rooting for El Tri, the Tricolor, in their match against the reigning champs, Germany.

Mexico may not have World Cup victories yet as of 2023, but they hold a unique record. They have qualified for the tournament 16 times without ever taking the crown. They even hosted the tournament twice, in 1970 and 1986. And that thrilling match against Germany? Mexico pulled off a shock 1-0 victory.
