The World Cup
México has hosted three World Cups. In 1970 Brazil got crowned with the first one and 1986 Argentina got it after the hand of God (Maradona) scored in the quarter final against England; I meant they defeated Germany in the final.
Hosting the world cup in 2026 for the third time is being the greatest experience ever.
When I was a kid I was told that our football league has not reached the standards of the South American or European soccer competitions, and as a teenager I was yelled at because we were not at the level of these powerful countries.
To make matters worse, yesterday someone came across to thank me for hosting the games at Tizoc and reminded me that sadly we are never going to hold the World Cup in our hands no matter how many times we hosted it. So I said………Y Si, Si?
