00:00Hey!
00:02Hey!
00:12In audio
00:13In audio
00:48The celebrations were all night long.
00:52What a beautiful sport is football.
00:55Argentine celebration to make it to the final after a very tough game against England.
01:03This Sunday they are going to face Spain and England.
01:07Who lost? It's going to face on Saturday France.
01:11It's a fantastic World Cup. It's amazing. It's almost over.
01:14I'm a little bit sad.
01:16Today there is a break. Friday another break.
01:20And then we are going to play the two matches left.
01:23We started with 104 matches. Now there are two left.
01:28We started with 48 national teams. 48 teams.
01:33Now we have only four.
01:35There were three home team hosts.
01:41The three hosts now are going to be only one.
01:44They are going to play in the USA.
01:46They are going to play the two matches left.
01:49But it was a fantastic celebration all over.
01:52But let's talk about Argentina.
01:55Argentina played a fantastic match against England.
01:58Who was winning.
01:59Was winning almost the whole match.
02:01Until the 85 meters.
02:03The problem that Coach Tuchel admitted today.
02:08My problem was when we were winning.
02:11We wanted to keep that.
02:13And I didn't make the right changes.
02:15And I make it stronger the defense.
02:18But we didn't know that Leo Messi was there.
02:22Lilo Messi didn't score any goal.
02:25But he has two assistants.
02:2785 and 92 minutes.
02:3085 and 92 minutes.
02:33That changed that game.
02:35The first one was Lautaro Martinez.
02:39It was the last one.
02:41And then Enzo Fernandez.
02:43The first one was.
02:45And Willingham was saying today.
02:48The problem with Messi.
02:50We tried to cover him.
02:51Three people.
02:52But then he's going to find a space.
02:55To score a goal.
02:56And that's what's happened.
02:58Messi with 39 years old.
03:00Is going to face these coming Sundays.
03:04Lamine Jamal.
03:06The star from the Spanish team.
03:09That Messi there is a picture.
03:11I don't know if we can show you right now.
03:13When the two of them.
03:14Like 18 years ago.
03:16The two of them were working for UNICEF.
03:18To protect kids all over the world.
03:22As ambassador.
03:23And you see the picture.
03:24Of Lionel Messi.
03:26With a baby.
03:28Was Lamine Jamal.
03:30And his mother.
03:32And that show you is amazing.
03:33Messi still playing at this level.
03:36But I want to share with you.
03:37How happy Argentine people are.
03:39Ayanesi was in the middle.
03:42Of those celebrations.
03:43And this is her report.
03:49Argentina advanced to the World Cup final.
03:51After defeating England 2-1.
03:53In a nerve-wracking match.
03:54That anxiety was heightened.
03:56Because this match.
03:57In addition to being a semifinal.
03:58Meant much more than just a game.
04:00Between two national teams.
04:05Imagine 40 years later.
04:09I hugged my father back then.
04:12And now I hug my children.
04:13And against the British.
04:14I lived through the Malvinas war.
04:16It was brutal.
04:19It was a 40 year later.
04:21Renactment of those goals.
04:23Maradona scored against the English.
04:25The hand of God.
04:25And the goal of the century.
04:27Just four years after the Malvinas war.
04:29Since then.
04:30The United Kingdom.
04:31Has occupied 25% of Argentine territory.
04:34And continues to prevent.
04:36From reclaiming the identities.
04:37Of some of these fallen soldiers.
04:43It's crazy how they took the field.
04:47At first they played it cool.
04:48Saying it was just a football match.
04:50But in the end.
04:51Just like Belardo did in 86.
04:52It came to light that they were actually thinking about the Malvinas.
04:55And came out with the banner reading.
04:56The Malvinas are Argentine.
04:58Just as Belardo did in 86.
04:59When he said.
05:00For our boys they killed out there.
05:07Although FIFA banned any insignia containing what it called political messages.
05:11The players display the flag bearing a concise inscription and a historic claim.
05:16The Malvinas are Argentinean.
05:18And so is the joy.
05:20I think Spain is going to be a tough opponent.
05:22But I think we'll do well.
05:23Because I feel like this team has both skill and guts.
05:27And that's an unbeatable combination.
05:29Now Argentina will face Spain in the final.
05:32To defend it's world championship title.
05:35Informa I am Messi.
05:36Desde Teresur Argentina.
05:39Let's talk a little bit about the banner.
05:43Las Malvinas son Argentinas.
05:46A banner that FIFA is starting the situation.
05:49Because FIFA before the match said.
05:51The crowd cannot get inside with any banner.
05:56Any flag.
05:56Any chair that mentioned Malvinas.
05:58Because it's a political statement.
06:00And they are not allowed.
06:03The players at the end of the match.
06:05They showed that big banner.
06:07Malvinas are Argentinas.
06:09And the players.
06:11They said.
06:12That's something very personal to Argentina.
06:14You have to understand.
06:151982.
06:16It was a war.
06:18Against England.
06:19Argentina.
06:20Argentina lost.
06:21Hundreds of young kids.
06:23Military soldiers.
06:2418, 19 years old.
06:26So at Argentina.
06:27They won the sovereignty.
06:29Of those Falklands.
06:30Of the Falklands.
06:31English people call them Falklands.
06:32We call them Malvinas.
06:34But the veterans of Malvinas.
06:38They were really happy.
06:40When they saw this sign from the Argentine team.
06:43And that's what they have to say.
06:45What we feel today.
06:47What we feel today.
06:47For all of us.
06:48The party is something different.
06:52Emotive.
06:53And more.
06:54And more.
06:54Inglaterra.
06:55Again.
06:57We help Maradona.
06:59Of the heaven.
07:00And all the veterans.
07:02But it's all.
07:03And today.
07:03We we're suffering.
07:04We've suffered.
07:05We've suffered many parties.
07:06But it was a lot of more.
07:09It meant a lot.
07:11We felt a lot of things.
07:13We felt a lot.
07:14We felt a lot.
07:15We felt a lot.
07:17But we felt a lot.
07:19We felt a different way.
07:19We want to politicize.
07:21But.
07:22God.
07:24We felt a lot.
07:25We felt a lot.
07:30God.
07:31and bring us a more star in our clothes.
07:35The Diego Pueblo is part of us
07:39and he always supported us.
07:44He always spoke about the pibes of Malvinas.
07:47The Diego was a reference
07:50of the Argentine football sport
07:54where you play with the heart.
07:58We were also putting the heart and soul
08:01and life.
08:03This is a more part according to the technical team
08:06but for us it is very special
08:08because we won our eternal rivals.
08:11In 1982 we had a conflict in which many companions
08:15stayed in Malvinas.
08:17Today, after 44 years, we continue to fight
08:21and we continue to claim our sovereignty.
08:25Although this is a championship
08:26of a World Cup,
08:28there is a very special feeling
08:30for us.
08:31Because they were men who stayed in Malvinas
08:35and continued to be young
08:37and they did not have the opportunity
08:39to live like us.
08:40That's why we reivindicate
08:42this triumph
08:46to them,
08:47to the true heroes who stayed in Malvinas.
08:50The letter says
08:51to those men who never forget
09:14the better and they are people, men,
09:15And I want to tell you something
09:16about a little short part.
09:18about those guys.
09:20You will listen, the veterans,
09:21there are people, men,
09:22who are 63, 64, 65.
09:25But during the Falkland War,
09:27the Falkland, the Malvinas,
09:28La Guerra Malvinas, the Malvinas War,
09:30they were only 18, 19, and 20 years old.
09:34They were young kids.
09:35It was a military service.
09:36They were serving the country
09:38and they lost their life.
09:39But, okay, let's go to,
09:41don't get emotional,
09:42let's go to the game.
09:44After that fantastic match
09:47that Argentina turned it around,
09:49it was losing 1-0.
09:51Lionel Scaloni said,
09:52Argentina or players like to suffer.
09:55We like to,
09:56and they've been suffering a lot
09:58in the knockout stages.
09:59They didn't have a single game easy.
10:01They always have to go to extra time
10:03or they score at the last minute.
10:06So he said,
10:07that's the way we play
10:08and we like to play like this.
10:10On the other hand,
10:11the coach from England,
10:13he said,
10:14it was my mistake.
10:16Argentina was a better team.
10:17But my problem was,
10:19when we were winning,
10:20I decided to be very conservative,
10:24very defensive.
10:25And Messi didn't let us do that.
10:28And thanks to Messi,
10:29it was a great assist.
10:31We are out of the final of the World Cup.
10:34And British people are really upset.
10:36also people who love football
10:39are upset for that position
10:41that took to shell the coach
10:43from England to be so defensive
10:45when they were winning.
10:46Let's listen to some of those fans.
10:50Yes.
10:52Argentina is this.
10:54They fight so hard,
10:56so much hard.
10:58So fight this match was so difficult for Argentina.
11:04But Argentina is this.
11:07Just guerra in Spanish.
11:10But we fight all the...
11:14until the end.
11:15Until the end, yes.
11:17Until the end, yes.
11:17Until the end.
11:18Argentina is the game superior.
11:28I'm very happy for Tis Remontada.
11:33For Leo, he's the best player.
11:38I'm very happy, very happy.
11:40But Argentina winning, winning versus España.
11:46Argentina.
11:47It was very interesting.
11:50Argentina played better than England.
11:52And England, close.
11:57Defend all the time after the goal.
12:01Yeah.
12:02It was tough, but they made it.
12:08Argentina is the best team in the world.
12:12And in my opinion, Argentina is the next world champion.
12:17I thought we started really well.
12:19We were strong.
12:21We dominated the first half.
12:23We got the goal.
12:25Then we sat back.
12:28And the more experienced team then tested our defence.
12:33They chipped and chipped and chipped and chipped.
12:35They broke us down.
12:36And obviously, they done us on.
12:39Probably, grit and determination.
12:43First half, great.
12:44Second half, Gareth Southgate went into the changing rooms
12:47wearing a Tommy Tuchel mask
12:49and decided to bring on five defenders.
12:52Which hasn't been done the whole tournament.
12:54And then that's why we lost, basically, I think.
12:57Because he snuck in there and did everything he hasn't done
13:01the whole tournament.
13:02The whole tournament was attacking, counter-attacking.
13:04And then this game, it was just full-blown defence.
13:08When we know all of Argentina's goals
13:10are scored in the last ten minutes.
13:11So my heart was saying England will win 2-1.
13:14But my football brain, and I literally said Argentina 2-1.
13:17Because I just thought, if we score against them,
13:19we're just going to sit back.
13:20We're not going to even play on the attack anymore.
13:23I was right.
13:24I hoped they'd be wrong, but I was right.
13:32You have only five days to participate of goal of my life.
13:38If you are new with us, let me tell you goal of my life.
13:41We want you to send us a video, less than one minute, vertical,
13:46and telling us what's the goal of your life.
13:49Goal, like you see goals on the stadium.
13:51They score a goal.
13:51What was your goal in life?
13:54And we are going to give you some t-shirts with Maradona.
13:58We have different prizes.
14:00You can see them in our Instagram account or Facebook
14:04or on Telesur English and Telesur Spanish.
14:07But let me give you an example of some people who participate
14:11of this contest.
14:12Let's listen to the goal of my life.
14:16Hi, my name's Fernanda, and I'm from Brazil.
14:22And my biggest accomplishment is getting my Masters in Speech-Language Pathology.
14:30Hi, I'm Carola from La Pampa, and I think my biggest goal in life
14:34was to be able to travel all over the world,
14:38to live in at least six different countries
14:40and get to know so many different cultures.
14:42And after returning to my home country, Argentina,
14:45I realized how happy I am from being Argentinian.
14:48Everything that I've learned to be the way that I am now
14:50and to know that I'm really lucky that I was born here.
14:56During our coverage, we talked a lot about Argentina.
15:00We talked about Messi.
15:02FIFA wanted Messi to be in the final.
15:05Messi's going to be in the final, but I don't believe it's because
15:09Gianni Fantino wanted Messi to be in the final.
15:13But Argentinian fans, also we started this show with celebration in Obelisco
15:18and different parts of Buenos Aires.
15:20It's something so important for Argentinian football.
15:24We love it like crazy, and we do crazy, crazy things.
15:28Argentinian people are local.
15:30Very, very crazy.
15:31I'm going to give you two information.
15:33One, after Argentina beat yesterday England, all the flight from Buenos Aires to New York,
15:40the final is going to be New Jersey, really close to New York, they were sold out.
15:45And then the flight from Buenos Aires to Miami for today and tomorrow,
15:52they were also sold out.
15:54They're planning to go to Miami and then drive or take a plane to New York.
15:59And another information, the tickets for the finals, based on information of sites who sell tickets,
16:07they are going to be the most expensive sport event in the USA.
16:12More expensive than the Super Bowl.
16:14If you check now the FIFA site for the resale, there are around $7,000,
16:21if you are lucky, to $30,000.
16:23It's insane.
16:24But we want to show you how the Argentines are so local.
16:27Why?
16:28We have here Nacho Fiora.
16:30He's an Argentine who lives here in Mexico City.
16:34Nacho was watching Argentina and England.
16:38And when Argentina won, what Nacho did?
16:41Nacho, welcome to From the Field.
16:42How are you?
16:43Thank you, very good.
16:44What do you do after you say, oh, we are going to the final?
16:47I went online and I bought the ticket.
16:49Because last time with the last match, after Argentina won, the flight to Atlanta was insane.
16:54So I just wanted to make sure I could be there.
16:57And you bought the ticket, but you bought the airplane ticket.
17:00But you don't have a FIFA ticket.
17:01Not.
17:02Not yet.
17:02Are you planning to pay so much money to see the final?
17:05No, not really.
17:06I just wish, closer to the date, being there, it's going to be cheaper and easier to find
17:11one.
17:12But if not, it's going to be just great to be there.
17:13So are you planning to go to the Fan Fest or some place where you can see?
17:18What would you have been to a match before you told me?
17:21Yeah.
17:21I went to Kansas City, the first match from Argentina in this World Cup.
17:24How was it?
17:25How was your experience?
17:26It was insane.
17:27We bought the tickets a week before and flew with a friend from Mexico City.
17:32We went there on Monday night.
17:35We didn't sleep because we were very anxious for the match.
17:39And on Tuesday morning, we drove all the way from Dallas to Kansas City.
17:43It was like eight hours.
17:44Yes.
17:44That's absolutely insane.
17:46How was, how people, you know, I was saying at the beginning of this segment that they
17:51talk a lot about us, about Argentines, you know?
17:55How do people treat you?
17:57Oh, no, perfect.
17:58No problem?
17:59Yeah.
17:59I've been here for like two years and since day one, they've been very kind and welcoming
18:03and I'm just grateful to them.
18:06And what about what they say that FIFA wants that Messi win against the championship?
18:13You hear some comments.
18:14I think there's a lot of hate online that might not be there in person.
18:18But you hear some comments and I think a lot of people here are fans of Cristiano Ronaldo.
18:22So that might have a lot to do with it.
18:24Oh, it has the, the between, you know, some fan Ronaldo, some fan Messi.
18:29Like there is a famous streamer, Speed.
18:31Yeah.
18:32Speed who was, he's going to win the final.
18:34He's going, he's going to be one of the entertainment of the final.
18:37He loved Ronaldo.
18:39And he said he wanted to shink Argentina.
18:43And people, Argentine people were crazy.
18:45And how was the atmosphere when you were inside of the, of the stadium, when you were
18:49in Kansas City?
18:50Oh, it was crazy.
18:51Well, that was my first time watching the national team and watching Messi.
18:54Okay.
18:54So my expectations were crazy.
18:56And he just provided more than I expected.
18:58A hat trick.
18:59And people were insane just shouting all the time.
19:01And what surprised me was a lot of people from different nationalities with the Argentina
19:04jersey.
19:05Uh-huh.
19:06That was crazy.
19:07I thought it was going to be a lot of Argentinians.
19:09And that was when they played against Arcelia.
19:11Yeah.
19:11Messi had a fantastic, fantastic match.
19:14Yeah.
19:14Yeah.
19:14That was great.
19:15Lucky you.
19:16Yeah.
19:16Yeah.
19:16It was all worth it.
19:17Like the driving back nine hours again, it was just, it didn't matter.
19:21Yeah.
19:21Also something, I mean, Messi is 39 years old and he's playing a fantastic World Cup.
19:27But I see a lot of people from different nationalities with the Messi, the 10 of Messi.
19:33And see people in Bangladesh celebrating like crazy.
19:37But also maybe some people who are fan of Ronaldo, they are not so fan of Messi.
19:41But the situation is really like this.
19:44How do you think it's going to be the final?
19:47I think it's going to be a tight match.
19:48I think every match for Argentina has been, after the group phase, it's been suffering.
19:53But I think it has a lot to do with Argentinians.
19:56Like we suffer and we overcome everything.
19:58So hopefully we will.
19:59That's what Lionel Messi was saying yesterday.
20:02When Argentina has the water up here, it's when they play the best.
20:06Yeah.
20:06But it's awful for us who are watching those matches from outside, you know.
20:11Yesterday, when you were seeing Argentina was losing 1-0 and it was almost 85 minutes.
20:18What were you thinking?
20:19I was hopeful because they were all like parking the bus.
20:22So it was just a matter of time before we scored.
20:27But you saw the two posts from McAllister and you're like, hey, maybe it's not going to go our way.
20:31Thankfully, you always have one player who is amazing.
20:35You have to give us a score for something.
20:38I wish it was like 5-0, but it's probably going to be 2-1 or something like that.
20:43It's going to be a close match.
20:44Yeah, I think so.
20:45It's going to be a close match and there are going to be a lot of Argentines in New Jersey.
20:49Yeah.
20:49Yeah.
20:50I've been to the stadium once when they played the, it was the Copa America Finalissima.
20:57They played Chile against Argentina.
21:00After Argentina won the Copa America and it was really a nice, nice, nice stadium.
21:05But there are going to be a lot of people outside, fan-faced like it's going to be your case.
21:08I hope you have a really fantastic, fantastic time.
21:12Thank you very much.
21:13What's your favorite player in Argentina?
21:15It's going to be Messi.
21:17Messi, no?
21:17Absolutely.
21:18You have to say Messi.
21:19Thank you very much.
21:21Thank you very much.
21:21Enjoy the final.
21:23But let's go to another fan of Argentina.
21:26I was seeing him celebrating like crazy.
21:31Charlie.
21:32Charlie is in Mexico City.
21:34He went to talk to some fans.
21:36He has some prediction and I would like to know his opinion.
21:39Charlie, go ahead.
21:42Hey, Carlos.
21:43How are you?
21:44We are almost there because England will play against France for the third place match on Saturday.
21:52And the big final is finally going to be between Argentina and Spain.
22:00The match that didn't happen in March or April of this year.
22:04La finalissima.
22:05It's going to finally happen.
22:07But as the World Cup final, it seems as if somebody wrote it down on purpose.
22:15But no, that's just destiny for you.
22:17But before we get to those games, I wanted to talk with fans.
22:21I wanted to reminisce about this beautiful World Cup.
22:24I wanted to know who was the best team and who was the biggest deception until now.
22:32This is what they had to say.
22:34Who has been the best team of the World Cup so far?
22:37Argentina.
22:40Why?
22:41Argentina.
22:41It's a good players and Messi.
22:48It's impressive.
22:52Only.
22:53Argentina.
22:54Argentina.
22:55The best team of the World Cup is Spain.
22:59Why?
23:00Because they're playing with La Minya Mal, Cucurella, and other players.
23:12That's the most, I don't know.
23:21It's the best Spain.
23:24The best team, I would say, is Spain.
23:26Why?
23:28They're quite unpredictable and they play quite well throughout the whole game.
23:33So, yeah, I support them.
23:34Very good.
23:35I think it's Argentina.
23:37So far.
23:38I think the way that they play is very nice.
23:41They're always a team.
23:42They don't look for one person to stand out.
23:45I think it's a team until the end.
23:47I like that.
23:48And the worst team?
23:50Híjole.
23:51What's from Brazil?
23:55Brazil.
23:57He's a pentachampeon.
24:01And he stayed in octaves.
24:04I don't know how to say it in octaves.
24:06But he's a grand team.
24:10and he's a loser.
24:14Uruguay.
24:17And the worst team was Brazil.
24:21Brazil why?
24:22Because I hope better play with Haiti, with Morocco,
24:32Norway.
24:36When I played with Norway,
24:41I was playing worse.
24:46Because I don't see, I don't watch,
24:52Vinicius, Rafinha, Alison, and other players.
24:56The worst team is Greece,
24:58because we didn't even qualify to the game,
25:00so it's okay.
25:03I think the worst team is England.
25:05Why?
25:05I think they are a little bit arrogant.
25:07I don't know.
25:08That's my perspective.
25:09No offense.
25:11We'll be back tomorrow with more information.
25:14Back to you, Carlos.
25:17Thank you, Charlie, very much.
25:19You know, we always think about Venezuela during our whole coverage,
25:24and in the final of the World Cup,
25:27it's going to be a representation of Venezuela, Gustavo Dudamel.
25:30He's going to direct the Philharmonic of New York,
25:34and the Philharmonic Simon Bolivar of Caracas is going to be something really emotional,
25:40because, like we said here in the hashtag,
25:43we stand with Venezuela.
25:44Let's say goodbye, but we leave you before the break with sound from Russia of solidarity with Venezuela.
26:15Now, Venezuela переживает трудные времена.
26:20This tragic tragedy has caused thousands of people.
26:24It has caused thousands of people.
26:26It has caused many jobs, jobs, jobs.
26:27We feel sincere and joy.
26:31We wish strength and patience.
26:32We are with you.
26:33What is it, Venezuela?
26:34For me, Venezuela,
26:35еще с раннего детства,
26:37была удивительной,
26:37и даже волшебной страной
26:39такое она казалась,
26:40и до сих пор такое кажется.
26:42И поэтому та беда,
26:45та трагедия,
26:46которая случилась с вами в этом году,
26:49она отзывается очень остро,
26:52отзывается со страданием в сердце.
26:54Мы, советские люди,
26:56очень хорошо помним,
26:57что такое землетрясение,
26:59что такое беда,
27:01а еще хорошо знаем,
27:02что такое взаимовыручка,
27:04то, чего так не хватает в нынешнем мире.
27:08Дорогие венесуэльцы,
27:10переживите эту беду,
27:12эту трагедию,
27:14станьте сильными еще больше,
27:17и пусть эта беда
27:19никогда больше не постигнет
27:22вашу прекрасную землю.
27:23Сил вам!
