Mexico can thank South Korea for advancing to the World Cup round of 16. Mexico lost to Sweden by an embarrassing 3-0 score and was about to be eliminated from further play when fans learned that S. Korea, whom Mexico had beaten by a 2-1 score in their previous game, beat Germany by a 2-0 score.
Ironically, Mexico had beaten Germany 1-0 in their first game in Group F.
In the photo above sent to us by a Photoshop maven, a South Korean player scores against the German goalkeeper and kicks Mexico into the next round.
We'd thank Korea, but the meme below is probably what Korean fans would say.
Her'a another meme sent to us by grateful Mexican fans depicting a Korean saving Mexico and leaving Germany to burn.
