Lesley Téllez (The Mija Chronicles) was out with her camera on the streets of Mexico City after THE game. Whether this contingent was part of the force sent to clear the estimated 30,000 revelers out from around the Angel of Independence last night I can’t say, but when Ms. Téllez took the photo, it was a rare sighting indeed… granaderos (a Mexican term meaning “Imperial Storm Troopers”) ALMOST smiling.
