00:00Okay, familia, what do you actually need to enjoy the biggest football celebration this summer?
00:05A yummy carne asada.
00:11Backyard soccer games.
00:15And of course, the sticker album and a bracket to follow the tournament.
00:23We live in a world of trends, but having one of these will never get old.
00:28I grew up with this, and honestly, I think every generation has different memories filling them up.
00:33I remember using glue sticks, they didn't used to be stickers, and hey, relájense, I'm not that old, okay?
00:39Then saving and open packs because they might be worth money someday.
00:43And now we're opening packs like a new pair of sneakers just dropped.
00:47It's not just about football, it's about the ritual.
00:51Because at the end of the day, the album doesn't just hold players, it holds memories too.
00:58A ver, Walter, tell us, how many booklets have you completed so far?
01:01Three.
01:02The first one was 1990, Brazil 2014, and Qatar.
01:09And do you have the new one?
01:10Of course, I'm going to fill it up this one.
01:13Eso.
01:14Okay, Julian, tell us, when did you start collecting your estampitas?
01:18Back in 2010, South Africa.
01:20That was, yeah, kid, school, loved it.
01:23Did you fill up the last one?
01:24I did, of course.
01:26I got all of them.
01:26Argentina campeando el mundo.
01:27Vamos, Argentina!
01:29Sencillito, sencillito.
01:31Another cool thing is the bracket.
01:33You can follow along when teams lose and teams advance.
01:36And, of course, it has stickers, too, so you place them when the teams win until you get to the
01:41big final.
01:42Who do you have on the final?
01:46Hi, guys.
01:47Checking in from Los Angeles Stadium, where today we got an exclusive look at the final preparations ahead of this
01:53summer's biggest international soccer tournament.
01:55Earlier today, we went on a behind-the-scenes tour of the venue, showcasing some of the key changes that
02:01have transformed this iconic stadium into a world-class soccer destination.
02:06And, of course, the start of the show was the pitch, which soon will play host to unforgettable moments in
02:13a venue more commonly known for NFL games and sold-out concerts.
02:17We also had the chance to chat with a few of the stadium representatives.
02:24So, generally, the stadium is astroturf.
02:27So, the challenge for FIFA is playing on natural turf.
02:30So, it's grown on the turf.
02:31This was grown in Washington State.
02:33The surface, as you see it now, is probably three feet above the normal surface.
02:38So, we've had to put a drainage cell at the bottom.
02:41It's almost like a bathtub where you put the natural turf in.
02:47Now, officially known as Los Angeles Stadium, during the tournament, the venue is ready to welcome more than 70,000
02:54fans from around the globe for what promises to be an unforgettable celebration of the beautiful game.
03:01The countdown is almost over, and from what we have seen today, Los Angeles is more than ready to welcome
03:08the world.
