Manchester City are back in Houston again, and from their first few days in the USA, it's clear to see why they keep returning - and may well do so again.
This is City's third time in Houston in seven years, and even a storm that postponed one of their friendlies in 2015 hasn't put them off coming back to Texas for a week-long training camp this year.
From the moment the 40-degree heat and sticky humidity hits you when you step out of the air-conditioned terminal at Houston Airport and you rush into a taxi, the city's love for football is evident. Definitely 'football', not 'soccer', as my driver was proud to point out.
