A song entitled
Fiesta Mexicana, which stormed the German charts in the 1970s, is still a popular choice at parties and outdoor celebrations. FIFA World Cup Host City Nuremberg staged the real thing on Sunday before and after the Group D meeting between Mexico and Iran.
Hours before kick-off,

Festival atmosphere in city centre
Others without tickets for their team's opening match followed the game at the Fan Fest on the adjacent Volksfest Platz, in one of an array of TV-equipped beer gardens, or in the city centre, where the euphoria knew no bounds at the final whistle. A festival atmosphere settled over the old town, the market square and indeed all over Nuremberg.
Mexicans, Iranians, Germans and even English fans, whose team meet Trinidad and Tobago in Nuremberg on Thursday, joined in a joyful and completely trouble-free party until late in the night. Naturally, someone produced a football, repeatedly lobbed from side to side over the celebrating crowd in the middle of the square.
