@WeAreFreeLions@UKinMexico@MexicoCity26 One last attempt to find our flag before heading onto Miami early tomorrow. Any retweets would be much appreciated. Gracias
This is what it means. Paddy Buckley, ESTC member, was in the Azteca in 1986 when England lost to the Hand of God and the Goal of the Century. So the return was inevitably emotional … (thanks to Paddy and Nick ESTC for permission to re-post) … 🦁🦁🦁
@WeAreFreeLions@UKinMexico@MexicoCity26 Couldn't have put it better myself, we've felt really welcome here and a trip me and my son won't forget.
If anyone has found our flag we would massively appreciate being reunited with it
An England fans Xochimilco booze cruise in CDMX, complete with tequila and Oasis, has got to be one of the most bizarre but very great experiences to date following England away

Mexico City! What a delight it is to have this trip come to fruition. A superb city, a brilliant football culture and an historic stadium to watch our team play.
Here is some advice for fans ahead of Sunday.
𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐜𝐨
Should you use an e-Gate to enter the country, you will be given a slip of paper that you must keep for your exit. Follow the instructions on the paper.
If you enter via speaking to an agent, you’ll get a stamp in your passport and no slip of paper.
Make sure to take official taxis only, do not hail, Uber works really well.
𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦
We would advise getting to the stadium as early as you can. The stadium opens 4 hours before KO and entry can take up to an hour so please do not leave it late.
From areas such as Polanco, La Condesa and Roma, use public transport.
If you take a taxi, expect a long wait in traffic and a long walk at the drop off point.
There is no parking at the stadium.
Special trains will run from Taxquena to the stadium. Below is travel advice from a couple of areas in the city.

Mexico is a superb city with a vast amount available. We would recommend the following areas for eating and drinking:
Roma Norte, Condesa and Polanco & Juarez.
❌On matchday, do not go to Paseo de la Reforma, especially near the Angel of Independence Statue. This is a large gathering point for the Mexico supporters both before, during and especially after where there were unfortunately fatalities at a previous game due to crushing.
Some recommendations:
• Celtics Pub Irlandés Condesa
• McCarthy’s Irish Pub
• The Dog House Pub
• TheBeerBox Insurgentes
• The Duke of Lisbon
• The Crown and Hart
• Pinche gringo warehouse
• Wallace whisky bar
Drinking on the streets is illegal here.
𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬
• Look after each other, keep an eye on your belongings. Stay with friends if possible
• Use official taxi services (Uber). Do not hail a taxi on the street, especially the pink cabs
• Do not drink the tap water
• Use bank ATM’s
• If you aren’t going to take your passport, make sure you have a copy
• Enjoy! The city is fantastic, the people love their football. A big game for both teams.
