US Alums Recall Historic Azteca Ahead of England vs Mexico

As England prepares to face Mexico at the historic Estadio Azteca, three U.S. veterans shared their experiences. While England faces the daunting 7,000-foot altitude for the first time, Mexico boasts an impressive record at home, having not lost a competitive match at the stadium since 2013. The U.S. side has a history there, with Bradley recalling a 2009 qualifier loss, Edu noting the only win in 2012, and Zimmerman a 2022 draw.

The players described the stadium's electric environment. Bradley noted the city shuts down and the stands fill during warmups. Edu described a long walk past photos of historic games, leading to a "deafening buzz" reminiscent of Celtic Park. piekny-pies.pl
