00:00And we now go with our special segment on the occasion of the World Cup. Beyond the game, the ball
00:05stays pure. Go ahead Luis.
00:08Hi Pablo, we were watching the anticipated game of Germany against Curaçao.
00:12Anticipated because Curaçao was making his World Cup debut in the 81st minute.
00:16Germany is winning 6-1 but the Caribbean team has not backed down and keep playing its football.
00:21More on after the break.
00:41Welcome to Beyond the game, the ball stays pure.
00:44In a highly anticipated match, Germany is currently leading 6-1 over Curaçao.
00:48But the Caribbean team have earned the respect of everyone watching their World Cup debut.
00:52The four-time World Champions entered this match as overwhelming favourites.
00:56And for long stretches, Germany showed exactly why.
00:59Their quality in possession, quick passing combinations and relentless movement in the final third
01:04repeatedly stretched the Curaçao defense and created dangerous opportunities around the penalty area.
01:10Yet despite the scoreline, the game has also been a celebration of Caribbean football.
01:14Curaçao refused to sit back and simply absorb pressure.
01:17Instead, they matched Germany's intensity in many occasions, pressed aggressively when opportunities arose
01:23and showed remarkable confidence whenever they won possession.
01:27Their willingness to attack one of the giants of World Football caught Germany off guard on several occasions
01:31and was rewarded with a goal that ignited thousands of supporters inside the stadium and many more watching back home.
01:38Curaçao have gone toe-to-toe with one of football's most decorated countries, paid without fear,
01:44and demonstrated that they belong on this stage.
01:54Precisely, let's see how the people of Curaçao in the Caribbean islands celebrated their first ever goal
02:00for the history of football in Curaçao.
02:04Curaçao.
02:34Curaçao.
02:35Montero to know a bit more of how the World Cup is being the experience in one
02:40of the co-hosts Mexico in this case and also I would like to ask you a
02:45question Carlos about the fact that despite Mexico being a co-host of this
02:49World Cup people are not being players are not being allowed to answer or speak
02:53Spanish during the interviews and other events welcome Carlos to from the south
02:58to from beyond the game please thank you thank you very much I want to take
03:02advantage of your space and your question because we want to invite all
03:08your audience to watch from the field it's a show that Telesur is working very
03:13hard we have here programming in English we have programming in Spanish
03:17La Pelota no se mancha we have programming in Portuguese and precisely what a
03:23coincidence that you asked me that question we have every day on social
03:27media you can follow also what's going on like Germany Curaçao right now you can
03:32see all the details of that match if you go into Twitter account X account how
03:38they call it right now Telesur English and every five ten minutes we are going to
03:44tweet you about how the game is going but Luis you were asking me about this
03:48situation that's creating a controversy because we are in Mexico in Mexico we
03:53speak Spanish and the World Cup is playing in three countries USA where they
03:57speak English and Canada they speak English French and there were already three
04:02situations they were very uncomfortable the last one was Frankie Dejeune a midfielder
04:09from Netherlands great player who speaks Spanish and he played in Spain before so
04:16he knows Spanish and happened again when a reporter asked him you know a question and he said please my
04:23audience is in Spanish can you respond in Spanish and one of the people from FIFA who
04:30were organizing that media conference they have always a media conference before each game today is
04:37playing Netherlands against Japan so that when they asked that question to Frankie Dejeune said please
04:42don't speak Spanish we have to speak in English it's not the first time it's the third time that's happening
04:48it
04:49happened to Vinicius from Brazil when Brazil was playing with Morocco Hakimi and Vinicius the two of
04:55them Vinicius play in Brazil Hakimi plays in different countries before and they don't two of them
05:01speaking Spanish perfectly and they didn't let answer the question in Spanish that take me to the
05:09question of the day we have in from the field every day we have a different question today the question
05:15is
05:15why do you think this is going on why they don't let those players who speak Spanish answer in Spanish
05:22is
05:23because it's a protocol of FIFA is because it's discrimination again ask people who speak Spanish maybe
05:31because they don't have enough interpreter who translate those questions so far people are voting and so far most of
05:41them think is discrimination against Spanish speaking people I would like to know what do you think
05:49Luis why this is happening thank you Carlos for all this information here and beyond the game we're gonna
05:58stay tuned on anything that is happening in Mexico but let's now turn our attention to Canada where
06:03Australia has opened their World Cup campaign with a 2-0 victory over Turkey in Vancouver Australia
06:08secures a dominant 2-0 victory over Turkey at BC Place Stadium in a match defined by defensive discipline
06:16and ruthless finishing Nestori Irangunda opened the scoring in the 27th minute with a clinical finish
06:22after a brilliant through ball from Paul Ocon Engstler Turkey pushed hard for an equalizer controlling
06:28possession and firing 15 shots but in the 68th minute a misplaced Turkish pass fell to Mohamed Ture and
06:34seal Australia's win with a second goal Australia now sits top of Group D sending a clear message to their
06:40rivals

07:03group after a commanding victory over Paraguay in their opening match Australia sits second on three
07:08points as well as following a solid win against Turkey with both the US and the Socceroos level on
07:14one points goal difference separates the top two spots meanwhile Turkey and Paraguay find themselves
07:20under pressure heading into match day two knowing another defeat could seriously damage their hopes of
07:26reaching the knockout stage and thousands of Australian football fans packed Melbourne's
07:43Federation Square on Sunday to witness the Socceroos 2-0 win over Turkey at the World Cup
