Footballer declared a "saint", as Mexicans thank South Korea for rescuing them at World Cup

One Korean football player has been "made" a Saint online, as Mexican fans heap thanks on South Korea for defeating Germany and helping Mexico get into the second round of the World Cup.

One meme shows Kim Young-Gwon being dressed up like a Catholic saint, complete with halo, staff and flowing gown, with the caption, "The expressions of affection from the Mexican fans for South Korea."
