Janice followed her team to the last World Cup in Qatar four years ago. But here, in her own home city, it's proved impossible. Come on, the prices are insane. I can tell you it's not affordable for all the Mexican population. We have people that cannot afford even $1,000 tickets.
We went into the houses and evacuated the families because we were on the phone with the families and they were terrified. They were knocking themselves in the bathroom because petrol bombs were thrown into the houses. We had to go in and evacuate them. Most of the families were Sudanese. They were terrified. Kids were crying. Women were crying. These are people who recently fled the war in Sudan. They are seeing the same things again and living the same experience.
It felt like a family.
quickly sort of one of the team oh yeah she was always pleasant and quiet she kept to herself but then she would pass pleasantries and talked about a family children mainly everything costing so much and no money to do this that or the other as a part-time bookkeeper sally couldn't have been making much and tim was on a tiny salary as a gardener at the national trust site
So then when she came in one day and said, oh, guess what I did last night?
She said, we've gone and bought a chateau in France.
I was just totally gobsmacked at this.
I mean, you know, you just couldn't quite believe what she was saying.
Well, it was just a little bit unbelievable because you think, oh, where have you had the money from?
But you didn't ask that question.
Both Martin and myself were just thinking, wow, that's very nice for you.
