00:00But you know who's really angry at all this speculation?
00:02Who has the most to say?
00:04Gianni Infantino Camila.
00:06He put out a 15-page carousel on Instagram
00:10decrying everyone that was spreading hate
00:13instead of celebrating the wins of the World Cup,
00:17the ability to bring people together.
00:19And he went to the extent of, you know,
00:22celebrating the granting of visas
00:25and the access that Iran had to the competition,
00:28even though that they are forbidden to come into the country.
00:32This was disingenuous from Infantino or was necessary?
00:35Listen, I mean, I definitely think it was a kind of wild take from him.
00:39Do I think the World Cup created unity throughout the world
00:42through the beautiful game?
00:44Absolutely.
00:44Do I think it was his doing?
00:46No, definitely not.
00:47It wasn't those $2,000, $10,000 tickets that created all that.
00:52That's the culture of the beautiful sport that we know and we love.
00:54But listen, I mean, I wouldn't say it was necessary.
00:58I maybe understand where he was coming from.
01:00I'm sure, you know, people behind the scenes did their best.
01:02I don't think it was him, but I don't know.
01:05There's a lot of room for discourse.
01:07Without a doubt, there's a lot of room for discourse
01:09because this World Cup, and we're going to talk about it later in depth,
01:13has created the biggest, you know, basket of revenue
01:18that we've ever seen.
01:19And the growth of the revenue for this tournament is...
01:22It doubled.
01:23It doubled up.
01:24Well, again, doubled the games, doubled the money.
01:27Of course.
01:28The prices of the food and drinks in the stadium were over the hook.
01:31And we saw the price, like you said,
01:33thousands of dollars to go to the stadium.
01:35Yep.
01:36Without a doubt, we brought the world together.
01:38The game has done what it always does,
01:41bring happiness to everybody's life.
01:42But to go and say that Gianni Infantino is fixing the world,
01:46I don't know.
01:47I don't know.
01:47There's a lot to be said, Camila.
01:50Can we expect a better version of this tournament
01:53in the upcoming edition now that we go six countries?
01:57Yeah.
01:58Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay will host one game each at least.
02:02And then Portugal and Marruecos.
02:05Morocco will be hosting the tournament.
02:07I mean, I think, you know, this World Cup
02:10truly did feel like something special to me.
02:12I think there was just, you know,
02:14so many people that weren't even into soccer before,
02:17at least here in the United States, were watching it.
02:18Of course, we were the host country.
02:20But I expect that energy to stay and to linger
02:22into the next World Cup.
02:24So I'm hoping that, you know,
02:26the energy just multiplies and it gets even better.
02:28And I'm very hopeful going into this next World Cup.
