England Fans Enjoy World Cup in Mexico City
Welcome to Mexico City, the location for England's last 16 clash against Mexico, surprise.
England fans all across this bustling city telling me today how much they love it.
Maybe it's their favorite World Cup location so far.
£2 beers, £3 tickets to the wrestling, and of course, plenty of tacos and tequila to boot.
Yes, so got a ticket. Flew in Thursday night.
Amazing, amazing city. Everything about it. Cheap beers, you know, cheap accommodation.
- Locals have been really friendly, you know. - No Mexico fan. - Yeah, yeah. All good.
All good. They've all been really friend- all really friendly, good.
Probably the best World Cup venue yet, isn't it?
That's why I came out early from the US because it's about $10 a beer in the US and you get five beers for that price here.
So many people. 22 million odd people in the greater Mexico City metropolitan area, making it one of the biggest in the world.
- Mexico. - Mexico. - What is the score? You speak English?
Muy poco.
- Um, mañana? - Mañana? - England?
Ellos van a ganar.
Mexico go win.
Mexico will win? Oh, you can tell him, he's our translator.
If England beat Mexico, they will, if they, if they lose, Mexico...
...will Mexico behave themselves after?
- ¿Odiar a los ingleses? - Ah, no, no, no, claro que no.
- No. They won't behave themselves? - Yes. - There you go, you heard it here first.
I've just found England's worst nightmare. We've got... Hola. Argentina?
- No, mexicano. - In, in Mexico? - Sí.
- Uh, from England. - Ah, okay. - England. - Ah! - Nightmare.
- England. - Mexico. - England. - Mexico. - England. - Mexico. - Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you so much.
Are you going to give them a nice welcome? Are they going to be happy to be here, England fans?
Hablando con ustedes, socializando, así...
...with everybody, to be kind, be friendly with all the visitors here, to everybody enjoy the World Cup.
- Everyone be friends. - Mi amigo? - Amigo, gracias.
- I'm joined by Leyton Town goalkeeper Dan Hosier. Dan, I saw you in, I think it was Boston, wasn't it? - Yeah, I was, yeah.
- Are we in safe hands here in Mexico City? - Mexico! Mexico!
- What do you make when you see people like that, Mexicans? They're up for it. - I like it. - Are you up for it?
Yeah, I'd say I'm up for it. I think most England fans are up for it. Uh, yeah, this is probably what you come out to see the World Cup for, so...
- And you probably feel pretty safe. You're a goalkeeper, you're what, 6'6"? - Yeah. - You tower all above these Mexicans.
- Yeah... - Ah! - Hola.
