A young Mexican went viral in recent days by sharing a particular video on TikTok. Jorge Aguilar, a fan of the Mexican soccer team, saved coins for two years to be able to travel to the World Cup in Qatar 2022. And the result was disappointing.
With the amount obtained in Mexican pesos, according to what he said, he did not raise any money even for the ticket. The video added over 23 million views and exploded on social networks.
“Two years of savings and today I would know how much I have collected,” said the owner of the tank.
The result was not what they expected because with nearly 18,000 coins (17,900) of $ 10 and 14,320 of $ 5 they did not even buy a quarter of the ticket that would take them to see the Mexican team in Qatar 2022. The total saved is was 32,220 Mexican pesos.
In addition, the networks exploded due to the comments of several users, who questioned the decision to save in coins or change money into dollars in order not to lose value due to inflation.
The approximate value raised by the tiktoker was $ 1,600.
Anyway, the young tiktoker in fact he admitted that he already had tickets and paid for World Cup tickets and that in reality the money saved in the drum will be used to cover small expenses such as meals or gifts for one’s relatives.
Mexico in Qatar 2022
The Mexican soccer team will play its first match in Qatar 2022 on November 22 at 10:00 Mexico City time. The rival will be the Polish team. Four days later, the team led by Gerardo Martino will face the Argentine national team. The match will be at 13 in Mexico. The group stage will end on Wednesday 30 against Saudi Arabia at 13:00 Mexican time.
The positioning of the teams in the group did not favor Mexico, as El Tri will have its most accessible match only on the last day. The debut will be against tough Poland, perhaps the rival to beat in a hypothetical fight for second place in the group. A win could be a blow for Tata Martino’s team.
