The streets of Mexico stood empty on Sunday and they expect the same thing on Monday because, there was no one attended Church on Sunday in a predominately Roman Catholic Country. They had a soccer game in Mexico City the Capital of Mexico and no one attended the soccer game it was virtually a empty stadium other than security.
