SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - If you look to the stands during World Cup matches and see a bunch of Colombians supporting Panama or a group of Mexicans cheering on Brazil then don't be surprised, your eyes are not deceiving you. In the World Cup, Latin America is a country.

Once every four years, Latinos put their differences aside to cheer on their neighbours and their erstwhile rivals.
