00:00The ticket prices are horrific, aren't they?
00:01It's ridiculous.
00:02They're horrific.
00:03What are they doing?
00:03No, no.
00:04The match will be where it should be,
00:05according to the tirage.
00:18What's a group game?
00:19What's a group game?
00:20Can you give us an idea?
00:21I thought it was four or five hundred quid,
00:23but then it's up to a thousand, three thousand,
00:25four, it's like literally...
00:26Tens of thousands of pounds.
00:27Nine thousand for a ticket for the fight.
00:29Five thousand.
00:30In Qatar, they were 68 pounds.
00:38Our administration inherited an agreement
00:40where FIFA is providing zero dollars
00:43for transportation to the World Cup.
00:46Zero.
00:47That leaves New Jersey Transit
00:48with a 48 million dollar bill
00:51to safely get 40,000 fans
00:53to and from every game.
00:59We know there are risks to fans
01:02and to local communities.
01:04In the USA,
01:06where three-quarters of the matches will take place,
01:08we've described that
01:09as there being a human rights emergency.
01:12There are people being arrested,
01:16detained and deported on mass
01:18by immigration agents.
01:19The scale of that is huge.
01:26I feel very good now.
01:29So...
01:30And I wanted to thank for FIFA
01:31for supporting me all the way
01:33and Somalii B-Ball also.
01:34So I'm very grateful for FIFA
01:37and for CAF also.
01:38So this is what I had to say.
01:39What do you think of FIFA?
01:44No, no.
01:45The match is where it should be.
01:47Second of the tirages on the sort,
01:49on the other hand,
01:49on the other hand.
01:50And we're excited
01:51because it's a very, very strong team
01:52that we have today.
01:54So...
01:54I'm very happy.
01:55I've seen the team,
01:56I've talked to the players,
01:57to the players,
