It's hosted two World Cup finals in 70 and 86.
70 Pele wins, 86 Maradona wins.
Two of the best footballers of all time have played there and won World Cups.
So it was actually, when I was watching, I was thinking, actually, I'd love to play more games in Mexico, to be honest.
And Mexico, you know, it's not their best team, but actually the fact that they have home advantage, they have such a good record in that stadium because it's played at an altitude and opposition teams can struggle there.
So it was a comfortable win.
It was a nice moment for RaΓΊl JimΓ©nez, who scored the second goal.
He was very...
a few years ago where he fractured his skull playing a game for Wolves against Arsenal and not only was it career threatening but it was life threatening so for him to come back and you would see that he wears the protective headband to score his first World Cup goal in what he knows as his last World Cup you could see he was in tears so that was a nice moment for Raul Jimenez I didn't stay up till 3am or get up at 3am to watch South Korea and Czech Republic which incidentally would have been our game if we had qualified
Well, you've got Canada tonight as the second of the co-hosts going in.
They're playing Bosnia-Herzegovina, who upset Italy to get there.
They obviously beat Wales as well.
I think a game I'm looking forward to, the USA play Paraguay in the early hours of the morning.
You've got Brazil and Morocco till tomorrow night at 11 o'clock.
I think that's a decent watch as well.
And then on Sunday, we have Netherlands-Japan at nine.
I think that'd be a good one as well.
Yeah, well, they've played twice in the league this season, a two-all draw at Talcott Park, a 3-2 win at Tata Stadium for Shamrock Rovers.
