World Cup 2014: Enrique Peña Nieto Says 'El Tri' Will Beat Brazil, Follow 'La Selección' On Twitter

President Enrique Peña Nieto has thrown his support behind 'El Tri,' predicting Saturday that the Mexican soccer team would beat its counterpart in Brazil at the meeting that the teams will hold on Tuesday as part of the first phase of the World Cup Brazil 2014. "We will beat Brazil in followers and on the court. Let's follow @miseleccionmx and let them feel our support #Mex." Peña Nieto wrote from his official Twitter account. The Mexican president has been fully supportive of his soccer team.

Before this message, Peña re-Tweeted a message from the Mexican national team coach Miguel Herrera, who wrote: "The bet against Brazil is on! Let's take to Twitter to see who gets to Tuesday with more followers follow @miseleccionmx until we win" . The bet started yesterday when the official account of the hosts threw out the challenge: "Congratulations yesterday, @miseleccionmx. How about a joke here on Twitter? Who goes to the party with the most followers? "

Then, the official account of 'Los Aztecas' accepted the challenge with a meme. The team that comes into the game with the least followers will donate an autographed jersey to a charity chosen by the winner. The official account of the Mexican team, @miseleccionmx, has just over a million 645 thousand followers, while the account of the green amarela @CBF_Futebol has a million followers and 606 000 as of Saturday night.
