@itvtherundown: Meet Merlin, a two-year-old duck who's become Mexico’s unofficial mascot after parading through Mexico City in the national team's full kit during celebrations for Mexico's 2-0 win over South Africa. Clips of him racked up millions of views overnight, with people calling him a "national treasure." But he was already a local celebrity, joining owner Carla Gómez on weekends as she sells drinks from a cart around the city. Now the family hopes their "baby" can bring some luck to Mexico. 🦆 #Merlintheduck #WorldCup #Mexico #TheRundown
