03:22time let's see what Scaloni is going to do Scaloni said yesterday that he's planning to use the same team
03:28that play against Egypt that can change but I mean Argentine people we don't want to suffer as much as

03:41but we have two exciting games ahead of us I hope you can watch it you can enjoy it and
03:47that's all right now going back to you Luis
03:51for the detailed information that's why we're going to have some very exciting games this afternoon a very exciting afternoon
03:57for football fans as you were saying Norway England Argentina Argentina and Switzerland and you were also referring about
04:05Egypt that gave a hard a hard time to the Argentinians in the last in the last match the Egypt's
04:11historic FIFA World Cup journey received a hero's welcome when they returned back home he the Egyptian people the Egyptian
04:20national team was received by the President Fatah Al-Sisi who welcomed them to the Alamein presidential palace praising the
04:27players for what he called their tremendous devotion of the country's best ever World Cup campaign
04:32the Pharaohs reached the first time in their history capturing the imagination of fans before bowing out in a thrilling
04:393-2 defeat to Argentina despite the heartbreak Egypt returns home with national pride and a performance that has inspired
04:46a new generation of football supporters
04:57what we saw not only by my testimony but by the testimony of everyone who watched around the world
05:04in Egypt in our brotherly Arab countries and across the globe were beautiful values that reflect the authenticity of Egyptians
05:12and the respect they command
05:14it was an effort that was more than remarkable and a tremendous devotion to Egypt and its name
05:24and the renowned football host Victor Ugo Morales has strictly criticized FIFA's response to the ongoing humanitarian situation in Venezuela
05:31labeling a one million dollar institutional donation as far too modest
05:37even the FIFA president the controversial Infantino has stepped forward with a donation not a personal one from FIFA but
05:44it came from Infantino's account one million dollars
05:47do you remember when we said that Shakira's announcement of five hundred thousand dollars seemed like a shameful amount to
05:54us
05:54it's not that one million is what FIFA which is set to earn 13 billion they say 13 billion dollars
06:01can offer in the midst of this tragedy in Venezuela
06:04but there's Infantino trying to improve his aim full solidarity the word full isn't something anyone can agree actually applies
06:15here
06:15because the donation is far too modest football it says has a unique ability to unite and give hope especially
06:24in times of crisis they're just words like that Italian song parole parole
