Y si sí — Mexico’s rallying cry at the World Cup

Across Mexico a short phrase — ‘Y si sí’ — has become a common expression of hope during the World Cup. In English, it reads roughly as ‘What if we can?’ and it captures a mix of cautious optimism and collective belief in the team. The saying has spread from stadiums to social media, street conversations, and living rooms, serving as a simple, unifying question that invites possibility. Anamaria Sayre reports from Mexico City.
