a sentimental game, then lino messy may well have been handed, the welcome trophy already now aged 35 massey says this will be his last world cup game, a chance to win the one title that saluted him during a career of close to unrivalled success in 2000 the cheeks in the temperature find against about sort of now miss he was starting to play in the team. that's 2000 and cheeks around 2022. but 16 years later, in contest for being player, for turn them and all roads. athena leading taylor sale since it's well cut began a month ago. it's where arch and famous campaign began fog disastrously without defeat, against saudi arabia. happy memories followed for them. here. subsequently, most recently, the semi final went over croatia, the 1st on france of played this venue is where d d, a de shawn's could become just the 2nd coach in history after it, please. sorry, i thought so. back in 1938 to when to world cups. they shan't also lifted the

trophy as captain in 1998. as did he go a race in russia 4 years ago. the race and his team out to stop message final shot at a well title. you need especially focus on him, but it's not only about team, you know, it's a strong team with other players with a young generation of players and you can see that they're all dedicated to to live missy preparations have also been incense for the man who be in the middle for the biggest game of his career, this is the middle of the season, not like it was before that event and of the season, et cetera. now players are fresh. to want to win. i mean, you see the fire the, i say of players and we expect verify game. yeah, that fire is burning just as broadly amongst the fans in cats. are all hoping to

witness one last, when from betty. oh, on the richardson, al jazeera lucille, let's get a sense of what the moods like now outside the 2 team hotels, just hours before the final. katie r lopez, honey on his outside, the accommodation where messy and his team is staying. but 1st, let's speak to it. so how many keys at the french teams, title salem, it's all been pretty quiet there this morning. any signs of life, any signs of these french fries? yeah. well it's pretty quiet here. jemma still pretty early on in the day, but i'll tell you there's been a slow trick. hello. found a few friends coming outside, trying to talk their way into the stadium, but instead just settling for stealthy with that fine over though the french team and blue jail hope. we'll have 3 styles on it by the end of today. but for the few fans in the media, i've spoken to the mood is pretty positive,

despite the virus that hit the french camp. and also the injuries from the beginning of the tournament. they have the feeling of confidence that they will retain this title. of course they've come up against big teams in this tournament. they put down england which o v c. gemma, you are probably not too happy about. but there's a feeling of confidence here amongst the french fans that they really believe that they can double up. and when this trophy again and take thou messy and ruined the party for messy and all is fans, which is going to be quite a few in no sale because it's going to be like a home state in the french fans are going to be out numbered but they're pretty confident to how you talked about people getting a selfie there with the french science, no doubt. you'll be looking to get a selfie with your favorite play alleviation. right, thank you for now. that's cross to katya lopez. howdy. and she's outside the accommodation. where messy and the agile team team staying cut to a majority of the fans around the world is certainly supporting argentina. what's

the mood like where you are of people had a slow start the morning. yeah, well things are pretty quiet here, but i suspect inside where the players are, there's a lot of excitement, a lot of nervousness and maybe also some anxiety going on a little bit about the location here. there are not a lot of fans, and that's because there is a lot of security tech point thing. it's a get to this point. there's a lot of gates, a lot of inspections, and it's basically not. i'm a big team and the coaches specifically wanted to stay in the campus so that fans and maybe the distractions that sometimes loads of fans can bring what kind of be kept at bay. so we do see that duality here. playing out along with also having a bit more flexibility and having the option to feel at home and have their barbecues have us here. now lucille stadium is about 10 minutes from here. so we suspect that even though there are not a lot of fans here at the moment, on the way over to the stadium, there will be

a lot of fans carrying on the team and specifically messy as he gets ready to play . and his last world cup maps, no doubt at all. i'm sure they'll be sharing loud and proud. thank you very much. talk to you lopez. hardy on live for us there in doha. and joining us now is that telemundo, what will commentator edwardo viscado. he also happens to be ogden tinian, how the nerves. okay. yeah. for the whole now messy one, fine or chance celeste, the wildcat trophy that coveted trophy, the one missing from his trophy cabinet. will that be tears of joy or despair for mercy at least how, how is this long ago that we don't know, but we hope that their tears of joy like that there was there were in the and the comerica final in 2021. finally then i, it seems like messy was accepted as a team leader, team captain and, and probably, you know, finally the obama, vanessa, i guess, successor because there was always that doubt that he could be,

should have the same personality and character than, than martin. i did have vowed to see the match gang, did you think favorites? i think it's very balanced game because france is, is a favour though, because they're the war champions. they, they, they been here. they, they, i think many people doubted that they could reach the final because there was that cast of doubt, of every champion coming into the war cup and then not performing well. and france had lots of problems with injuries and situations that were not favorable for them . but they did, saw them all, and then now they're here and i think they're not in the same level as they were in 2018. however, i think they're very strong team. they have a very strong, a manager. and, and, and i think because of that they, they know how to win and that's what they bring into the final. and i just wanna have you imagined that maintenance as messy scoring though, or any argentine in play for that. nasa scoring the winning goal in a well cut final is that played out in your mind if he thought about what you might

say. i think many people have thought about it. but the, the fact that he has court in the round of 16 corps, filed semifinals and he might score in the file. it's something wonderful. even if argentina does not, when i think the mess is war, cup is, isn't questionable. it's, it's, it's this the best that he had had, i think he said the toner from the 1st. the 2nd game when argentina were really struggling against mexico and, and there was a very thick game, you know, argentina couldn't find its flow. and that he scored a goal would be because mexico was playing great game defensively that we're not creating anything offensively, but the he, he opened again and i think then probably he opened argentina's path into this final. how do you stay neutral now as i'm sure you're a professional? i'm not questioning your professionalism at all, but as an agent in tinian fan, how do you stay neutral? going in, say commentating, tonight's mats. and what do you do to prepare?

can you give us an insight into what it's like you're home and taking a world cup? fine, i think i think you have to analyze as you know, like if, if we're called experts, then we have to try to see pros and cons on each side. and that's what we try to do . and then obviously there's our emotions. there is our heart. there's our desire eventually. but when you know, you have to it, at any profession, you have to put what's, you know, on each column then. yeah, that's what you try to do and then ice. i saw this argentinean team going into the walk up with many flaws, probably only the world, only war class, a player that the team has is mercy and seems 35 or maybe the maria the maria's is 35 to so or $34.00 then. ah, that was that question, but the coach also experienced and, and, but everything came together so far and that, and that's what, what do you have to try to see and, and then obviously emotions come to come to play a failing to tell us

a little be eve covered. oh my, this is your 5th world cat. now i remember the 1st one that i saw on tv in 1978. probably you both were not warned. no, probably definitely not. not. yeah, i will definitely what not. but yeah, i mean you, that one was an argentine, it came very close to me and it was, you know, it was something that marked my, i guess my, my life and my relationship with football. i guess i just wanted to get a sense of what doha was like. the woke up for doha versus the other bo cups that you won't come in the proximity between the been you venues and under situations that happen. stadium, sun and fans. like i remember probably i will never forget the night we're, i had to comment on the crecia at stadium on the crecia, brazil game. and then i took the metro and went and sale and i because the game went to penalties. it just, i didn't arrive to watch a whole game hard and teen against netherlands, but just the possibility of,

of watching 2 games of such quality and importance at the same work up at the same city. it was, it was great and i think the color that the fans brought into the city and everybody like joined in maybe. yeah. within see like, you know, such, i guess displays of other type of fashion. but everything, everything went very smoothly, much better than that. people thought that he would go on, i do, i, we know you're very busy man, and he's gonna have to say, i get on like as they say, you gotta be heading down to least i say literally, i've got green eyes and i'm very general that you're going to the fight, all of us, iowa does enjoy it, billy and have a blessed day, and i chance have a great day and thank you for taking the time, keith. now you can't talk messy without talking kit in about a francis star plan has come a long, long way since this hannah was 1st spotted as a child growing up in the town of bondi. let's cross to pool brennan, who is that in bondy for us pulling credit about $823.00 is out on the verge of

winning his 2nd. wild. com is pretty incredibly net nazi of a proud day for people living that it's, it's extraordinary. i'm here at sunday market day. i here in the center of bondy, it's a satellite town of pirates is about 10 miles outside of the main city. and the people here are genuinely excited as a enormous mural on one of the buildings. you'll see to my report in a 2nd, but i just wanted to show you before that the front page of yesterday's newspaper lik keep, which is the headline a wire, which basically means their story and throwing the parallel between a teenage pele and the then teenage and buffet, now 23 years old teenager when he won the 1st of his world cup metals back just 4 years ago and the expectation that he'll win his 2nd well cup winners metal later on today. it's a,

a mixed community here. it's had its fair share of social problems. so to see somebody, a local lad come through and emerge to global prominence is and matter of immense pride for the people of bondy. he is really bonnie's favorite son, killian and boppy is literally a larger than life figure here. this 10 story mural depicts and bobby, is a boy dreaming of woke up lorry and the people of his home town of bondi, love it and love him. i gentler celeste hamilton sellers. killian is the rising star. he is the star of stars, and truth be told, he's the envy of the world. he's done it every one scared of him. despite his age, he carries the team. you have to admit it. thought he carries the team. fricky monsoons used to cut him back his hair, but exactly the most challenging of jobs. a simple buzz cut, but inspired by one of them by piece and frances greatest for pauling heroes. this is maria cook, clumsy then. if, if beau, he told me to cut his hair like sir done,

not too much of res work, he always told me he wants a simple cut. bondy is known for its large population of migrants from central and north africa is just 10 miles from the center of paris, but feels a world away from the glamour of the city of light. and the less and bobby's bond to his home town is strong. his parents handle player pfizer, la murray, and soccer coach, wilfrid and bobby are also household names here, and the family is known for its charitable contributions to the town. after winning the 2018 world cup, a slightly bashful looking teenager returned to a rock star. welcome, eat up ali, alaska, the flood. he hasn't forgotten his roots. but sometimes when things he that we forget admit we're, we're from. well let him know now he's not like that. going into the world cup final and boppy is 2 days short of his 24th birthday. no longer the bashful teenager. he's now the star. and there's

a powerful sense of pride and expectation surrounding bonnie's favorite son. lydia long lived killian lily. good luck and bring back the cup, god willing, bring back the cup, put simply bondy beliefs. one of the things that i have found from speaking to people here is a strong sense of social responsibility that killian unbaptized house for this home town of his. and he took some children, or he funded that a trip for some children to go to new york ana kind of sporting exchange in the recent past. and he is, you know, his family connections. they are very, very strong as us, massive sense of pride and all eyes will be looking at this afternoon's match. a certainly well a program and i in monday. thank you for that. right. our report is following all the fan action across content. yes, our hi wrath. is it a barbecue policy organized by argentine, fans in bolivar, which will speak to her shortly. but let's bring in victoria gates and be fuss,

who's at their house and walk. if toria, we've been following your progress that morning. i can see some odds and tv and phones behind you just how's the atmosphere that right now. a just caught us as a sort of face off between the argentinian and the french frances, i just finished up an argentinian fan chanting, messy singing songs. and then that's been the french trans, countering by saying, i'm back a and then singing the french national anthem. now there are an incredible amount of argentinian fans down here in the soup as always. but the french team is the defending champions. there are a few french friends down here. we'll just talk to one of them. now he's flown in from paris. the well cut, omar. sorry, if i can just interrupt. hi, how do you think your team is gonna? and i think that we have a

down at the see kids today. so how do you think about they will play tonight with today? we have big chest, the when i come here to enjoy the final all good. that must be in the schedule. so it's been an amazing atmosphere, so it's really heating up now between the argentinian and the french friends, obviously that will be going to the stadium bit later on. but for now the down in the looking like great fun or it is. thank you for now. let's go to sarah high right now, who's among argentinean fans at bow village is. sorry, it's lunchtime now in kata. how a fans preparing for the match the barbecues will find out, ready to go. i still haven't

the middle east will cup and i'm joined the here by a professor dared akin this from the southwestern university to talk to us about he's been here for a few years, dared to talk to us about cutoff and it's leg in the whole tournament. then you've seen, you've witness to build up to this big event. a video play it? yes, i will spot over to supreme court meeting with did use institute, which is a legacy program. and our objective, oh dear miss john, obey institute was to build a human capacity for their workup and beyond and true education and training and research. how so weakness led to believe both the programs, the o tournaments, but of course i left in 2020 and called the legacy was within place very early. what is very important for the difference if legacy is not in place before, is to lit up, but it's too late when you get into haley, they'll finish or not,

but the probation and then gotta did very well with this spring committee. they had just were institute, which was my institute, a donation. i'm missing school board. what development agenda or so challenge 20 jew at seemed at sit it out with dine, but all this way had the mission to make sure that they'd walk up live a sustainable legacy. no, just the legacy. and now we talked about the arrest that distinction, body roles of certain ability challenges. and so that's an ability philosophy that's thinking through the whole process or preparing for it. and it won't go eh, all lisa lemons with very important. and the already have for me a legacy legacy is already there. now is going to just be love. and girl with quotes would be dawn after the tone of my dad was seen, not move on to the african teams and how they performed that this woke up specially, morocco was the 1st big arb, nation,

an african nation to make it to the semi finals and an arab nation who's hosting this at well, how do you think it will now give them a chance to bid for a while cop, i mean, they've already did 55 times and they failed. yes. i think that performance is a major milestone for africa. football because the 1st time it's been 50 years, africa had been consistent. but speaking there was a couple of free from now we can maybe put a semi find out that is really major morocco and for african football, if we're going to gun football. now, how is he going to affect africa football sending out operate, john? we don't know yet, but for me is already done. when i say is done, it is mostly because in the subcontinent and caution of people african team is

capable of belonging to a war globally, is capable of making it so fast, which is, depends on very few, very tiny details. and that's really and that you've meant for, for morocco, for africa, and for the yeah, for the world, but also for what i call the global africa. because that's what i was the 6 region of africa and union is very instrumental. inactive ment over the performance of model because of the origin of the place. thank you very much for that. so history was made that this woke up and more, we're expecting more tonight. you see the argentine all france and it's kicking off at 15, gmc 6 pm, locals time. so that's out there in that good job. baffling the elements i resolve . she's all right. and if you watched any of containers matches, you would have heard what showed trusts. michel, i almost had it, which i yes, that's the railings on that became the team's anthem,

and i had it once or twice in the stadium. it's been following the plaza and found that wherever they've gone through it. but i have from what i was. ah allison dina, the song has become argentine as anthem for the world cup. it celebrates the land of vehicle madonna and unit macy, and the young men who died during the 1980 to conflict with britain or the islands known here as the marinez. ah, it's sung by an art is known as lamb, aka, or the fly. it was written by ferryman, the romito, who is a teacher, him when aside, se, okay, look a me the door frames you may think. what inspired me was the pain that we all felt by the death of diego marrow donna in 2020, and how important he was for us as we all celebrated when we won the corporate america. and now we need to celebrate leonor missy, and how grateful we are of having him. oh,

this song is being chanted in stadiums on the streets, in the subway. ah, and even by the national team players, it's called mitchell's and describes the argentine dream of winning the world cup. once again, there's euphoria and argentina with the world cup final and with the national team look at what some people have done. very vehicles on the song is playing almost everywhere. people say that it makes them happy that he gives them hope argentine is in the middle of a huge economic rises and the world cup has provided a destruction to many people here. people like after constant beanie, who runs a campaign to help children in any way, there were some other would outdoors and recognize that we're all going crazy with this. we painted the car and then we lost a saudi arabia and i was like, what do we do with the car? now we're happy and children in the country are happy. and this is it. even if we don't when we're happy that we got here.

ah, who'd been sons i celebrated in argentine, be not only praised this beautiful game, but also its history and culture. and the see one song of managed to unite argent times from all sectors of society. to show support puleo nail messy and the national team. the media, i just see that when a faded so jim, that's the latest we'll cup news. it's going to be about what 6 and a half hours until the match gets under way. i have had the pleasure of saying front and i didn't teen and beat the certainly insides and they certainly were fabulous to watch even though we were losing. and particularly those to stand out plays. will these old leave up to the high? do you think tonight, while on paper it should be a fantastic match. we have lino massey is fine. what we've got killing them back. they. the age of 23 could become a 2 time well,

when you'd become the youngest to achieve that, since that pele, back in the back, in the seventy's say on paper it should be an absolute prostate, but sometimes this isn't always the case seems can come from each other out with a kind of attacking talent on display. of course not only must be fraught and see that we have had alvarez. he's been fantastic as well. the young manchester city, 22 year old strike and for from not alien by fire. they also have that man living room, he overtook terry on re in the solomons as from his all time leading scorer. so there was attacking talent all over the pitch. what hoping, lots of goals and this one, but tonight we're looking forward to it and certainly joe has put on a spectacular performance as well. thank you very much jim. i will see you at the top of the hour. all right, let's get some other world news now and vote. so being counted in tennessee is parliamentary election. the 1st under a controversial new constitution turn out has been a stream lay low, just under 9 percent. your position which boycotted the vote, says president,
