And what a moment for Mexico.
I mean, this is one of the loudest stadiums in the world.
And I think when they are behind their national team, it is one of the most intimidating grounds in international football.
Everyone here is waiting for England to defeat DR Congo and come to Mexico City for what would be one of the most anticipated round of 16 games in recent World Cup history.
My lasting image from this game here in Mexico City was just how loud it was, how frantic the fans were after the first goal, the party atmosphere from the very beginning.
And how defeated and deflated Ecuador were from the first goal from Julian Quinones, which is an absolute golaso for Mexico.
So Mexico is through their first knockout win since 1986.
The last time that they hosted the World Cup, they can start dreaming about a historic run.
I think when the world sees the Azteca, the Estella Azteca on the opener on June 11th, they will be mesmerized.

They will see this temple of football and it'll be the ideal setting for a World Cup opener.
matched
Obviously, the Estella Azteca in Mexico opening.

a World Cup for the third time in their history.

And so I think from the telecast and perhaps even inside the stadium, it's going to feel pretty epic.

I think the story with the stadium, though, is, as you mentioned, there were some months in 2025 where even officials for Estadio Azteca were concerned that the construction wouldn't be completed in time for the World Cup.
matched
And so essentially, they've set up three phases of construction, and they completed phase one and phase two.
matched
Phase two made them...
matched
fifa compliant made the stadium fifa compliant and there is still a phase three which is more focused on the exterior of the stadium the businesses that will surround the stadium anyone who's ever been to mexico city knows that that stadium is just sort of placed in this neighborhood
matched
The quarters are really tight.
matched
So there's still a lot of, I believe, part of that construction in phase three still has to get completed.
matched
And the idea is for that to be completed after the World Cup.
