  • Episode 3.5: Soccer Junkie on Touring Mexico's Most Famous Stadium
    Nov 19 2022

    *This episode will be in English*

    Season 3 of La Gringa Bilingua invites you to come with me to Mexico, where I met new friends, experienced culture shocks, and enjoyed the beauty of Mexican culture! Today I brought on my dad Mike, a lifelong soccer junkie, to talk about what it felt like to tour Mexico City's Estadio Azteca, home to two World Cups and some of the most legendary moments in soccer history. We also discussed the importance of soccer in Mexico's culture and some predictions for this year's World Cup!
