06:00 SUNDAY, MEXICO CITY 🇲🇽⚽️ I’m typing this in bed from my hotel in the of the Zona Rosa - the very heart of busiest part of town and 200m from the Monumento a la Independencia (Angel of Independence) where over a million people danced and celebrated last time Mexico won. (But near the British Embassy: see map.) The was a carnival going on ALL NIGHT. It’s crazy. Packed streets, dancing, souvenir sellers, football merch, street food, as as lightening flickers over the sky. It’s sensory overload. Like out of a film. Almost too much to take in. A feeling of friendliness prevails, and England shirted fans can be seen here and there (and those without a shirt still stand out). I didn’t take many photos last night but loved the random dancing I caught from the taxi to the hotel. The day has stated cool and gray. I have no doubt it will finish the complete opposite. Will try to share content though the day to bring you a flavour of this historic day. Cheers, Jon
