00:00Hey!
00:03Hey!
00:12In Audio.
00:15In Audio.
06:09We're right back.
09:44.
09:44It was getting a minute and I'll say really,
09:55I think, all this night,
10:09I drop it.
10:10All the players, what they have to do in that case, Enzo Fernandes to shoot from outside, a pass from
10:19Leo Messi.
10:21Argentina came with the same team that played against Switzerland.
10:25The only difference was that instead of Simeone was playing, instead of Rodrigo De Paul,
10:36Rodrigo De Paul came into the game in the second match.
10:40Rodrigo De Paul is very close to Messi, and it was a good change when he decided to put Lautaro
10:47and Rodrigo De Paul.
10:49Really amazing.
10:50Let's do a break.
10:51We have too many things to talk about, but let's go to the break, and we leave you with our
10:55segment,
10:57A Goal of My Life.
11:10The goal of my life, I probably will say that is getting a degree as a journalist.
11:14I am graduating this year, so I will say that's probably like the biggest thing that has ever happened to
11:20me.
11:20And also getting the opportunity to work in an international news channel, which is like a dream country.
11:30Welcome to From the Field, we have the two finalists of this fantastic, long World Cup,
11:38playing three countries, Mexico, USA, and Canada.
11:42The final is going to be this coming Sunday, New Jersey, Argentine against Spain,
11:47a team from America and a team from Europe.
11:51Let's talk a little bit about Spain, because yesterday they shocked France.
11:56They beat them 2-0.
11:57France was one of the favorites.
11:59France was trying to play again the final in a World Cup, but no, they are going to play for
12:07the third place.
12:08Argentina is going to play for the second time World Cup, and Argentina plans to keep the cup they won
12:17in Qatar.
12:18Mbappé was a good player, but he didn't shine like he always does.
12:24Spain, they stopped him, they didn't let him do a match.
12:30He was looking to go to pass Messi as the leader of the World Cup.
12:35He couldn't score, so right now Messi is ahead of Mbappé.
12:41But we have a reaction, Álvaro Fragua, how people reacted to that match in Spain.
12:47Let's go with Álvaro.
12:54France stood as the last major obstacle before the final.
12:57For a Spanish side packed with young talent, this match was the ultimate test.
13:01Team star Lamin Jamal spoke with confidence ahead of the game.
13:08Honestly, it's number one for me.
13:10It's the most important match I've ever played, and I'm happy to have reached this moment.
13:14We're all really excited, especially me.
13:16So without a doubt, it's the biggest game I've ever played.
13:21While the players faced the challenge on the pitch, thousands of fans in Madrid shared
13:26the tension.
13:27Every attack was met with silence, and every ball recovery sparked loud applause.
13:31Because against France, everyone expected to struggle.
13:34Todos esperaban sufrir.
13:37I came to watch it here because it's the kind of match where you really suffer, so I decided
13:41I'd rather go through it with lots of other people.
13:43That way, if we suffer, we all suffer together.
13:48Mikel Oyarzabal's goal gave Spain the lead before halftime.
13:51La Roja was going toe-to-toe with one of the tournament favorites, and confidence was
13:55beginning to grow among the fans.
13:58Spain has played really well, to be honest.
14:00I'm very happy, and hopefully they keep it up in the second half.
14:03Oyarzabal is a great player.
14:04The second half confirmed that this team is about more than just talent.
14:09It has also found the balance needed to compete on the biggest stage.
14:12France struggled to create space, and Spain's defense once again held firm during the toughest
14:16moments of the tournament.
14:22I'm a huge La Porte fan.
14:24The back four have been incredible, honestly.
14:26Well, the whole team has, but we're relentless.
14:28We've been outstanding.
14:29We have the best position on the field in this World Cup, the defense.
14:33The second goal sparked wild celebrations.
14:37Spain knocked out France and reached just the second World Cup final in its history,
14:4116 years after lifting the trophy in South Africa.
14:43By then, the nerves in Plaza de Cologne had given way to total belief.
14:47It was crazy from start to finish.
14:49It was such an intense game.
14:51Spain was the better team.
14:52They deserved the win.
14:53The players were excellent, and they fully deserved to be in the final.
14:56Now, we have to go and win it.
14:58The celebration spilled out of the fan zone as thousands of supporters filled Madrid's
15:02Paseo de la Castellana, already looking ahead to the final.
15:06Look how far we've come.
15:07I think we're going to win the trophy, and we'll celebrate it here in Madrid.
15:11Just look at this atmosphere.
15:12I've never experienced anything like this with Spain before, and I'm loving every minute of it.
15:20Spain now will face the winner of the other semifinal between Argentina and England.
15:24The team heads into the World Cup final full of confidence, having already given an entire
15:28nation permission to dream again.
15:30Álvaro Fragua, desde Madrid, para Telesur.
15:37And Spanish people love Messi.
15:39Messi played for a long time at Barcelona.
15:42There is a picture.
15:43I don't know if you have a chance to see.
15:45Lamine Jamal, he was a baby, and Maradona, who was playing, Maradona, I'm sorry, Messi,
15:51Lionel Messi was with him in a picture.
15:54Now they are going to face each other in a final of a World Cup.
15:57Really, really amazing.
15:59How did the Spanish team go to the final?
16:03Let's remember that.
16:06Spain announced themselves as one of the tournament favorites by dominating Group H.
16:11La Roja overwhelms Saudi Arabia in a commanding opening victory before proving their resilience
16:16in a hard-fought draw with Cape Verde.
16:19They closed the group stage with another emphatic performance against Uruguay to finish first,
16:24showcasing the possession-based football and defensive discipline that have become trademarks
16:28under Luis de la Fuente.
16:30Spain has steadily raised its level with every knockout match.
16:34Austria offered little resistance in a comfortable 3-0 round of 32 victory before Portugal pushed
16:40La Roja to their limit in a 10-Siberian derby that Spain edged 1-0.
16:44The biggest test came in the quarterfinals, where Spain overcame Belgium 2-1 in a high-quality
16:50contest to book another World Cup semifinal, extending an impressive run that has seen them
16:55concede just once in the knockout rounds.
16:58Spain defeated France 2-0 in a composed and commanding semifinal match.
17:02After an evenly contested opening, La Minllamal drew the fall that led to a penalty in the
17:0820th minute, and Miquel Oyarzabal calmly converted from the spot.
17:12La Roja took control from there, dominating possession and frustrating a French side that
17:16struggled to create clear chances.
17:19Pedro Porro sealed the victory in the 58th minute, with a clinical finish following a
17:24sleek combination with Dani Olmo.
17:26Spain's disciplined defense and patient build-up secured a deserved place in the final.
17:33French people were expecting much more from their team.
17:37Of course, they are very disappointed.
17:39Let's listen to some of them.
17:43I don't think it's going to be anything different from the others.
17:46To be honest, we're gutted, obviously disappointed after the match.
17:50We'd built up a lot of expectations with the start of the tournament, but after that, we
17:54never got a look in against the Spanish.
17:56They kept the pressure on well throughout the match.
18:02Honestly, I'm disappointed, because you could really see them going all the way.
18:07They seemed comfortable in this World Cup.
18:10At first, I believed in them, but then we saw that the others were stronger.
18:22Sadly, yes, we're disappointed, because we've come from Japan, and I think that, by chance,
18:27being in France when the match, the semi-final, was on was a really special moment for us as
18:32well, and it wasn't something we'd imagined when we were planning our trip to France, so
18:35we were very excited.
18:45The Spanish team were very well organized.
18:48They completely disrupted France's game and never let them settle into their rhythm.
18:52And when you take the ball away from the French team, you realize there isn't much of a real
18:57game plan there.
18:58If you can't get the ball to the players up front, it becomes difficult.
19:03I stopped watching the French team after 1998.
19:06In 1998, I really, really, really liked them, but after that, I wasn't all that excited.
19:12This year, honestly, I was really, really, really excited.
19:16They've got a very good side, and to be honest, I could really see them making it all the way
19:20to the end.
19:22I think we would have deserved to reach the final more.
19:25But as I told you, we were a bit sluggish.
19:28It wasn't the French team we've known since the start of the World Cup.
19:31In the end, the better side wins.
19:34That's how it is.
19:35That's the game.
19:36That's football.
19:38Yes, I am a little bit disappointed.
19:40I'm a passionate supporter of the French team.
19:43That's how it is, a little bit disappointed.
19:45That's life.
19:46There's nothing we can do about it.
19:51Don't be so disappointed.
19:53You have the chance to see France on Saturday playing for the third place.
19:58Somebody who's really happy right now is Charlie Monteiro.
20:01Charlie has the chance to see the match between England and Argentina at the FanFest.
20:06He talked to some of the fans, and also he has some predictions for the final.
20:16Who's going to win the finals?
20:17Argentina or Spain?
20:19Argentina, 100%.
20:21I don't know.
20:23Spain is very strong.
20:25Maybe Argentina, 1-0.
20:31That match is so hard.
20:33Maybe we won or maybe if we win Spain is just a win.
20:41Argentina is a good winner, but Argentina goes to the end.
20:45Argentina will win that match.
20:50Hopefully.
20:52Well, I like Barcelona too, so it's tough decisions.
20:56But Messi, Argentina.
20:58But how much?
20:592-1.
21:012-1.
21:01Yeah.
21:03Argentina win the game.
21:042-1.
21:06And Argentina is the next world champion.
21:12The final.
21:13Oh, I have to go with Argentina.
21:16Argentina, Argentina.
21:17Because of Messi.
21:17Messi is the GOAT.
21:19I have to say that.
21:20I hope they win, but I will be happy.
21:22It doesn't matter at all.
21:24But how much?
21:25One goal.
21:26One goal.
21:31Do you know it's going to be the first time in a World Cup the final is going to play
21:35the champion of America against the champion of Europe.
21:39Spain against Argentina.
21:41That's all for today.
21:42We'll see you all tomorrow.
21:43But people still celebrate in Robelisco, in Argentina, in Buenos Aires.
21:48We leave you with some pictures.
21:57You are just a bit, you are a kid.
22:05What are you doing tomorrow?
22:09There are two people.
22:09We are here.
22:10We are now, everybody.
22:10I don't know.
22:10We are on here.
22:11I got to go.
22:11We are on here.
22:11I'm here at home.
22:13I am here.
