Ted Lasso's Cristo Fernandez: 'Futbol Is Life,' and the World Cup Is About Dreaming Big
Mexico is heading into the round of 16, embodying the spirit of dreaming big, a notion shared by actor Cristo Fernández. With four consecutive victories and no goals conceded, Mexico's national team, El Tri, is performing exceptionally well. Their recent 2-0 win against Ecuador in the round of 32 marked their first knockout stage victory in 40 years, breaking the "fifth game curse."
Mexico now faces England, with high hopes of upsetting the team and advancing to the quarterfinals, a stage they last reached in 1986. The match will take place at the Estadio Azteca, a fortress where Mexico has lost only twice in 89 matches.
Fernández, a Mexico soccer fan and star of the TV series "Ted Lasso," has put his acting career on hold to pursue his lifelong dream of playing professional soccer. He recently signed with USL Championship side El Paso Locomotive FC, turning his fiction into reality. Fernández believes that dreaming is not limited to age, saying, "Regardless of your age, it's cool to dream."
The World Cup has awakened Fernández's passion for soccer, and he is now living his dream. He is partnering with StubHub's World Cup Cuts campaign to celebrate soccer's fan culture, saying, "I just love the passion for the game and the spirit of the celebration." As Mexico chases its soccer dreams, Fernández will continue to pursue his own, inspired by the team's determination and spirit.
