"What if?" The dream of seeing Mexico advance in the World Cup goes viral
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Mexico is filled with the hope that El Tri will continue advancing in the 2026 World Cup, and this dream has been encapsulated in a phrase that millions are repeating aloud, in memes and videos on social media: "What if?" The viral phrase, "What if?" has become an anthem in this World Cup, though it's unclear exactly how it started. One theory suggests it originated from a former coach of a Mexican football team. Efraín Juárez, the former coach of the Pumas, repeatedly used the phrase when asked if his team had a chance of winning the 2026 Clausura playoffs, according to Telemundo Chicago sports journalist Raúl Delgado. "What if? What if Pumas really is the champion?" The phrase seems to have circulated on social media and has now gained traction with Mexico's performance in the World Cup, leading fans to believe that making history is indeed possible.
