And while that young team give patriots and football fans hope of future promise, there was another type of nationalism on display at the northern border yesterday.
It was a bi-national celebration of the 126th anniversary of the Spencer Mariscal Treaty.
That's the boundary treaty between Belize and Mexico signed on the 8th of July 1893 where Mexico gave away part of their territory to the British, including Ambergris Caye.
It was not well received in Mexico at the time - but in time, we have become the best of neighbors - and that fraternity was celebrated yesterday on the Chactemal Bridge. Organizer Bobby Lopez told the media more:
This was the second year of the observance.
Next year's celebration will be in Campeche.
