Before the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Javier “Chicharito” Hernández was asked in an ESPN interview with the journalist David Faitelson about Mexico’s chances in a group where Germany was the favorite. His answer spread in memes: “¡Imaginémonos cosas chingonas, carajo!” (Let’s imagine damn great things, damn it!). After Mexico beat South Korea 2-1 in the group stage, he returned to the idea. In 2023, the striker Santiago Giménez revived the phrase in an interview with ESPN. (Video in Spanish.)
