Covering Mexico

Dan Damon Dan Damon | 14:47 UK time, Saturday, 24 June 2006

Mexico City

The TV programmes here are filled with scantily clad women playing football with sparkly balloons.

Obviously the World Cup game against Argentina is a big deal, and the square outside our hotel is the venue for a big screen event so people can watch the needle match.

Argentina's record against Mexico: played 23, won 8, drawn 11, lost 4. But they looked shaky against Ivory Coast. So the Mexican fans are definitely 'up for it'.

I'm going to try something new on the blog while I'm in Mexico (we're here mostly for political coverage rather than football, although we'll certainly make the best of the soccer passion today).

I'm going to try some audioblogging in the hope that it will add to your sense of the places we go and the way we report the stories.

If you go to this I've set up, hopefully you'll get a link to audio posts I'll be making from my phone.

Could be useful, let me know.
