Mexico City has an advertising campaign for this summer's World Cup games. I have seen the signs in Metrobus and subway stations and on the walls of underpasses. One of the signs is this one...
It says,
"In Mexico City all nations are welcome."
It seemed to me (and Alejandro agreed with me) that the message is a subtle dig at a certain country that has not earned a very good reputation for welcoming foreign visitors.
At the bottom of the sign is the phrase, "La pelota vuelve a casa." (The ball returns home.)
It seems to be Mexico's slogan for the games and refers to the fact that Mexico is the only country to host three World Cups.
