The Estadio Azteca (Spanish pronunciation: [esˈtaðjo asˈteka]) is a football stadium located in the suburb of Santa Ursula in Mexico City, Mexico. Since its opening in 1966, the stadium has been the official home stadium of the professional football team Club América and the official national stadium of the Mexico national football team. With an official capacity of 95,500, it is the largest stadium in Mexico and the third largest football stadium in the world.
Regarded as one of the most famous and iconic football stadiums in the world, it is the first to have hosted two FIFA World Cup Finals. In the 1970 World Cup Final, Brazil defeated Italy 4–1, and in the 1986 World Cup Final, Argentina defeated West Germany 3–2. It also hosted the 1986 quarter-final match between Argentina and England in which Diego Maradona scored both the "Hand of God goal" and the "Goal of the Century". The stadium also hosted the "Game of the Century", when Italy defeated West Germany 4–3 in extra time in one of the 1970 semifinal matches.
Prendido
a tu botella vacía,
esa que antes, siempre tuvo gusto a nada.
apretando los dedos, agarrándole, dándole mi vida,
a ese para-avalanchas
cuando era niño,
y conocí el estadio azteca,
me quedé duro, me aplastó ver al gigante,
de grande me volvió a pasar lo mismo,
pero ya estaba duro mucho antes...
dicen que hay,
dicen que hay,
un mundo de tentaciones,
también hay caramelos
con forma de corazones...
dicen que hay,
bueno, malo,
dicen que hay mas o menos,
dicen que hay algo que tener,
y no muchos tenemos...
y no muchos tenemos...
prendido,
a tu botella vacía,
esa que antes, siempre tuvo gusto a nada.
