Mexico fans celebrate U-17 World Cup win in head bandages

Mexico beat Uruguay 2-0 to win the U-17 World Cup on their home turf on Sunday. The game was almost anti-climactic after their absolutely unbelievable semifinal comeback win over Germany that included an overhead winner from Julio Gomez, who re-entered the match after clashing heads with a German defender on the previous goal and needed to have to bloody noggin wrapped.

In honor of his impressive performance, Mexico fans -- even the little ones -- wore homemade head bandages to the final at the Azteca in Mexico City. And since that worked out so well, they wore them again to the open-top bus parade and visit with President Calderon on Monday.

Gomez wore his bandage, too -- partly because he needs it and partly because it's become his new trademark. Have a look...

Now if he's really serious about his personal brand, he'll wear that thing for the rest of his life.

Head bandages for all!
