The whole thing is hope
This does not need a long explanation. Every four years, Mexico becomes a country of people doing the math in public. One clean group stage. One brave night. One fifth match.
The fans make it louder
The proof is not only in old highlights. It is in the group chat, the jersey, the uncle saying this time is different, and everyone pretending they do not already agree.
