00:05It's time to go!
00:45It's been nerve-wracking, but we got the job done.
00:49Hey, first point in history, we should have won, but you know what, we'll take the one
00:54point.
00:55First point in history, it's probably one of the best days of my life.

01:02I'm so happy to be here.
01:04Go Canada, go.
01:05I wouldn't miss it for the world.
01:08As soon as I heard the World Cup was here, I had to get this ticket, had to be here.

01:56with Premier League, with the locals, as well as our professional league here, the Whitecaps.

02:03I do think the World Cup has brought people together in new ways, especially with all
02:07these rallying points to bring people together to watch at community centres.
02:11I know some churches open their doors.
02:13We have public centres like Granville Island.
02:15I think you get the whole world coming together to watch, and it doesn't even matter what country
02:19you're from.
02:19I think the World Cup is the most, to bring it down.
