00:41me show you I'm an old school I like to go to the kiosk and talk to the new the
00:46guy who sells you the newspaper this is the story they cover the front page La

01:06goals of Mexico but this has two faces this a celebration here in Mexico if you
01:13turn go to the the last page from the same newspaper you see all those protesters they
01:21are from school organizations the professors teachers who demand more money and
01:26they were trying to get here to close to the stadium they couldn't do it because
01:30the police stopped them but also is a subject that is very important here in
01:36Mexico and here it says the president Sheinbaum says he's going to talk to the

01:49the first game of yesterday it has a beautiful opening ceremony we are going to

02:01so today was the then of the USA and it's going to be the turn of Canada to have a
02:06beautiful open
02:07ceremony but my point was this the first game was absolutely sold out but the second game the one it
02:16wasn't played here in Mexico was played in Guadalajara it has a smaller much smaller stadium here is 82 000
02:24Guadalajara was 45 there were 42 000 people and you can see some pictures on social media of a lot
02:32empty
02:32seats that take us to talk about how expensive is to buy a ticket for this world cup and we
02:40start to see in
02:41this game South Korea against Czech Republic there were a lot empty seats also it was an empty seat that
02:50it was very
02:51significant very very significant I think we have a picture Gian Infantino the president of FIFA was sitting with an
02:59empty seat
02:59because that seat corresponded to the president Claudia Sheinbaum it was the ticket 001 tradition
03:07in all the world cup always the president of the country who's hosting the world cup goes to the opening
03:14ceremony
03:15in this case for the first time the president Claudia Sheinbaum decided to watch the game in a small community
03:24with people they put a big screen she didn't want to be here in the stadium what's happened with the
03:29ticket she gave the
03:30ticket to an Indian girl we don't know what happened why she was not in the stadium yesterday that's a
03:38question we have to
03:40see and to find out what's happened with that ticket the ticket 001 that the president said I'm not going
03:46to go but I'm going to
