Following the Mexican national team's defeat against the English, fans shared their feelings on social media, making it clear that although El Tricolor fell in the round of 16, they were very proud of the role they played during the World Cup, and they also highlighted the good game Javier Aguirre's team played against the England national team.
One of the details that drew the most attention and generated controversy during the Mexico vs. England match was Canelo's attendance, who was even in charge of presenting Maná at the halftime show. However, a video went viral on social media showing the Mexican boxer tapping Harry Kane to get his attention and get him to say hello.
The video shows the moment Canelo Álvarez waits for the England national team to leave the locker room. Kane is at the front of the team, along with Bellingham; despite the boxer extending his hand, Harry does not greet him, so Canelo touches him insistently to get him to turn around.
It is at this moment that Kane responds to the greeting and continues on his way along with his other England teammates. This gesture by Canelo Álvarez was not well received by Mexican fans, as they said the man from Jalisco was rude and very crude.
Among the most shared comments were messages such as: "He did ignore him", "And Harry was like 'who is this?'", "Canelo was already tipsy", "Canelo, we lost because of him", "He betrayed us", "Because of that little greeting, Canelo jinxed Mexico", "Kane didn't even acknowledge Canelo", "Nobody in England knows who Canelo is", "Nobody paid attention to him" and "They don't even know who he is".
