Fans of the Mexican national team watch Sunday's World Cup match against the Netherlands outside a downtown L.A. store. The owner had set up a television facing the street.

The team, nicknamed El Tri was leading for most of the second half, but the Netherlands came back to tie and then win 2-1 on a penalty kick in stoppage time. Needless to say it was a devastating loss for Mexico fans.
