Episode 3573: Mexico Win Opener, Raul Jimenez’s Tears Of Joy, South Africa Turn Red
Mexico win a World Cup game, in style, at the Azteca, and their ageing hero scores and then weeps with joy – it doesn’t get better than this!
Ken was there to see and hear and feel it all, and joins us from the stadium.
Plus there’s mariachi celebrations, South Africa’s lust for reds and Ken’s lust for donuts.
