MEXICO CITY — God, I love coming to this place. On Tuesday night, I arrived in the Mexican capital for the seventh time I will have seen a game here. This one, as usual, is big: A World Cup qualifier between the USMNT and Mexico—
Well done, Grant. Michael Bradley’s goal against Mexico is possibly the greatest goal scored in USMNT history. I know there are others—Caliguiri (T&T), Preki (Brazil), Feilhaber (Mexico), Donovan (Algeria)—but in terms of sheer technique, ingenuity, quick thinking, and audacity, all on enemy territory and at altitude no less, it’s just masterful. Brings back great memories. On the strength of that goal, we had to qualify, right? RIGHT?! A good reminder not to take anything for granted.
More great reporting Grant. Thanks for writing about the food straight away. Don't forget to check out Churrería El Moro! Enjoy the match and thanks again for the fantastic reporting. I look forward to your next dispatch.

Heading to CDMX now for the game. So pumped!
Thanks, Grant - “our man on the scene”. Looking forward to the reports.

If Christian and Alexis are who I think they are, I think you need better friends. Like Taylor or Joe or Ryan for example.
