Hello welcome to the restless history and our ongoing World Cup themed epic and Dominic

today we are arriving in one of the great powerhouses of the World Cup Mexico and Mexico

cities Estadio Azteca, one of only two stadiums to have hosted the World Cup final twice.

Guy Tom, that's a good footballing fact for me. You don't normally come out with these

stadium facts on this podcast. Stadium facts, I've got it and the other one is Rio de Janeiro's
