Monterrey countdown

 Monterrey, a lovely city that will also host matches in the World Cup, is also counting down:

Countdown

Near my house in Mexico City they recently set up a clock counting down to the opening match of the World Cup, which will take place on June 11th 2026 at the legendary Azteca Stadium.

The stadium is now being refurbished to accommodate this great event as if it were the first time it hosts a great event...

But with this, starts my own countdown, and should perhaps try to relate some of the impressions of living in a country that will host the Mens' Football World Cup for the third time ever, but this time alongside Canada and the United States of America.

The Greatest Matches of the European Championships

The Euro 2016 will take place in France this summer, and as a countdown to the tournament I will do something that I did as a countdown to the 2010 World Cup, when I wrote about the 50 greatest matches in World Cup History.
This being a younger tournament (it started in 1960, and the first tournament was, as this one in 2016, hosted in France) it will "only" be the 23 best matches, and I will start tomorrow with the very first match, France-Yugoslavia, in 1960.
The series will continue until the tournament starts in France in June, so be sure to tune in and learn about the legends of the European Championships!!!
