1:05 pm
when he's soaking it will end because he knows it's going to be his the loss well cup in argentina one lost his copper america beating at rivals, brazil in the fine lena that was messy. fust major tracy with argentina, and he said it himself, it really took some of the pressure off him. and you gotta see that this told him and he seems to be playing with a lot of freedom. he's really enjoying his football. and it's suddenly pang off fell on the pitch. but as for francois, aside from kidding him back, he's also, you know, of course, fantastic. play, they do have a levey, jerry, a. he is now france his all time that leading go score at e. m. supposed to around race and he's also having a fantastic tournament. so attacking talent wherever you looked during. so certainly could be a very exciting one. this a little thought. yeah, i'm sure it will be panky, gemma. well let's get a sense of what the mood is like outside the 2 team hotels hours before the final. yes. katelyn has hernandez outside the accommodation when massey and his team is saying the 1st and let speak to you as to how malick hughes at the french teams hotel sale we have been speaking to you a throughout the day. so for any sign of those as yet,
1:06 pm
well jim, a know fine of the play, is it? but we do have some fans find the sad to stadium. i've been chatting to a few of them over here. some young fans, the young man i spoke to just now in the buffet show over there. he says in pappy's in a score, patrick confidence and that seems to be the mood among the french fans. they know they will be out numbered in the stadium. this is going to be like a home much father and he not been to most of argentine as game so far. and i kind of felt like as in bought a theory that the time. but this much yes is going to have that home town flavor fudge. tina, there will be some french fans not being amongst the french fans. a big match is at the euro's then it will cops then even though they might be not, but they can really shout and scream and make a lot of noise. so yes, there's a lot of confidence that the french can do something. i'd be talking tina and why not? they got some great players in by pay you just mentioned. so we shall see what happens . i lose sales stadium. no snow sign of the play is just yet. we'll keep an eye out
1:07 pm
. we're looking all these guys around me. they want to get their socio yeah. pack this kid over here. he. he wants itself. he's going either leaving till he gets to south b. we should see what happens should be going and who knows, maybe france when it'll make these guys very happy. and you know, anything i use until you get, you'll southie when the is your favorite play. sound like that. thanks for that. we'll catch up here then said, well, let's bring in cut yellow for her, and now she's outside the accommodation where messy on his team are saying same question to you and he's on the player. it's got you gala, thanks. i've been pretty quiet the last few hours that kind of feels like the personal space here of argentina's team. so it's been quiet. but i imagine inside the premises where the players are things that are a bit different. now this space is quite restricted. there's a lot of security checkpoints, a lot of inspections that get to the point. so i think that's why we're not seeing a lot of fans is a very restrictive space and that does not seem to be a mistake. we believe that argentina's t man, the coach has kind of wanted to keep
1:08 pm
a bit of distance from any potential distractions and keep also some distance as well from maybe loads of bands that as we know from argentina, in fact, the last few days are quite loud. and cry, rowdy, and quite enthusiastic about the game. but all in all, we see also a generational combination in today's matches the, the stadium is about 10 minutes away. and i imagine that when the bus goes in route to that stadium, all i will be on messy, but also on hulu. and about 22 year old who score those 2 goals and the match against croatia. so we do see that combination of generations. but again, tonight, everybody is focusing on messy, saying it's his night, an argentinian fans want to see him live that trophy. alright, gotcha, thank you so much. we'll speak to you a little later on. well, if you watched any of our agency and as much as you would have heard with chuck shows, and that's the rallying song that become the teams and them,

1:10 pm
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, argentina with a world cup final and with a national teen look at what some people have done to very vehicles and 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 destruction to many people hear people like after constant dini who runs a campaign to help children in any way. there were so that it would outdoors 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 are 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.

1:16 pm
constitution. but you know, this is going to be a tough way ahead for all the parties is going to be a challenge for president isis. i am because since july 2021 basically has been saying that the reason why he stepped in because the political elite that was into nicea after the 2010 up prizing didn't do well. it just hijacked the political process to its own political agenda, and that therefore he had to interfere to dissolve the parliament sack the government to protect the country from disintegrating. he had some popular support and people took to the streets say it's about time for a genuine change in, in his yeah. but as this saw him further consider dating power ruling by a degree they became really concerned by the future. sin is, he has always been in a waste of democracy in this part of the world as people say, the biggest assets we have is democracy. we cannot afford to lose that. what can

very expressive. so it is rather a good thing when there's such an atmosphere for such a match because it is a world cup final. but our rivals are not in the stance. the only opponent we have is those who will be on the pitch and there is enough quality on that for to concentrate only on that. both teams have the same objective. one of us will have a 3rd go star on their shirts after the manager. you money. nice. tomorrow's game is elgin tina against france much more than messy against him back. but i think the both teams have the weapons they need and that the match can be decided by other players and not necessarily buy those to lee. i was doing well and let's hope the match goes away, but it's a game between argentina and frogs. and there are many players that can decide the game. a rallying cry has been following the argentinean players and fans wherever they have gone. if you've watched any of their matches, you have undoubtedly caught wind of me. chuck chose the song that has become the team's sound track. teresa bow report from warehouse i raise.
1:39 pm
oh addison deena, this song has become argentina's anthem for the world cup. it celebrates the land of the eagle, madonna and unit macy, and the young men who died during the 1980 to conflict with britain or the islands known here as they might even us. ah, i mean it sung by an art is known as lamb, aka, or the fly. it was written by fed. amanda romito. we said teacher him would aside a seal, gil, okay, me the door frames you may think. what inspired me was the pain that we all felt by the death of diego marijuana 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 messy and how grateful we are of having him. oh, the 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.
1:40 pm
once again, there's euphoria and argentina with the world cup final and with the national teen look at what some people have done to very vehicles and 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 crisis, and the world cup has provided destruction to many people hear people like after constant dini who runs a campaign to help children in any way. there was another would outdoorsman recognize that we're all going crazy with this. we piloted 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, he'd been songs i celebrated in argentina. they not only praised this beautiful
1:41 pm
game, but also its history and culture. and this year, one song has managed to unite argentines from all sectors of society to show support puleo nail messy and the national team. oh, that he said, well, i do see that when a site is well, whatever happens that will be the end of leno. massey's adventures at the world cup with argentina. it's been a long and emotional journey for the outstanding footballer of his generation, but he has won a mountain left to climb and if he does, he'll sit alongside perhaps the greatest player ever i think with
1:42 pm
1:43 pm
perform when he's needed. and when also to bring his teammates into play, i think a game like this. he thrills on it. right. messy, somebody that everybody knows is a genius for. can you do it? at the expected time? i've always said anybody can play football. we all play football in the backyards with our friends, but can you play football on the pressure? and the only the greatest players can do it is a mess is definitely one of them. you know, we're, we're just talking about this because there's been so much and motion surrounding nasty, how spark can affect his teammates and also the atmosphere in the stadium. i think it's important that it starts with the managers, kaloni. the manager can transmit this feeling of calmness and being ready and prepare, right? everybody knows the whole world will be watching. how do you enter a game like this? you have to be careful. no silly yellow cards. no silly red cards, don't give free kicks away. necessarily. just play your normal game,
1:44 pm
but obviously you have to be highly concentrated because it is a normal game. that's what you say to the players, but they are where the importance of the match. modules will continue the conversation in a moment, but you can't talk messy without talking about pet france. a star player has come a long way since he settled was so spotted as a child growing up in the town of bondi. let's cross to pull brandon, who is in bondy for us. paul is just 23 years old and on the verge of when a 2nd world cup must be a proud day for people living there. well when you think about killing him, buffy wasn't even born when france won the 1998 world cup. so 2 of the people here in bondi, this satellite south of paris is about 10 miles outside the center of the city. it's an extremely proud day. they've watched him grow up here, his father coaches the local football team, his mom's the professional handball player. so he had the advantages of kind of genetics, if you like at,
1:45 pm
but to have actually taken those sir natural talents and actually worked so hard to reach the national team. of course, a source of immense pride in this town. i'll show you the front page of yesterday's like, keep newspaper their story is the headline and comparisons of m buffy. and another youthful woke up per superstar pele there. now the people here in bondi, it's a very mixed neighbourhood and i've been spending since i am actually listening to what people think upon these favorite son. killian and boppy is literally a larger than life figure here. this 10 story mural depict somebody who's a boy dreaming of woke up lori and the people of his home town of bond eat, love it, and love him. i gentler celeste hamilton sellers. killian is the rising star. he's 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. he carries the team. fricky,
1:46 pm
monsoons used to cut and back his hair, not exactly the most challenging of jobs. a simple buzz cut, but inspired by one of them by piece and frances, greatest for bowling heroes. mother corp. clumsy then, if it, but 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 hand ballplayer, pfizer, la murray, and soccer coach, wilfrid and bobby, or also household names here. 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. well abaski the flood, he hasn't forgotten his roots, but sometimes when things he'd up,
1:47 pm
we forget admit where we're from. what let him know now he's not like that. going into the world cup final and boppy is today short of his 24th birthday. no longer the bashful teenager. he's now the star and has a powerful sense of pride and expectation surrounding bonnie's favorite son. lydia long lived killian robin lyla. good luck and bring back the cup. god willing, bring back the cup. put simply, bonds, beliefs. well, you can see that the sense of expectation and joining me is felix, who's a banga. sorry. who is the founder of the the bond, the blog, and your you follow them batteries progress up through the ranks of the junior players. tell me what his success and the possibility of him winning a 2nd world cup would mean for this town. i mean, we, he just as proud here. we can, we can stop the, you know, really proud to be,
1:48 pm

1:49 pm
to add them until they're 18 and to give them access in cultural places. and for example, this summer he bring them in. he booked in new york for one week and 2 to do several stuff in there. so it's, it's really impressive to, to, to be involved in a such a young age phillips with banga. sorry, thank you very much. indeed for joining us. sorry, the coal is getting to my tea for lips there. right, that's bond. the huge expectation. we'll see what happens. thanks. brandon. thank you very much for your time. george. what quality day is quality is desmond by a brain to his team that even massey cans. well, real know that he's obviously really quick, but besides that, people have to note is also the other qualities he has. he can dribble very well and i think the most important thing in football is having the ability to finish, you have to score the. busy goals as a strike,
1:50 pm
you have lots of strikers who can combine, they can, they can link up, they can, they can make great runs and find spaces to get the ball. but in the end, the question always remains. can he finish? and i think and, but he's got that nobody, any team that plays against france in particular all parties. and you may, if you brain against improper, you know, when you give him that opportunity, he will finish it for you. and this is a, this is the best quality he can have and he, he imposes that as much as he can. he uses it as much as he can. but i think the ability to skip past players is just unbelievable in the game against england. everybody was talking about car walker, how he's going to stop and buffy. and i think it was one moment where we saw blitz of how quick and barbara can be when he just left car walker to stand there like he was just like a tree. and he just skipped past him. it was unbelievable. that's when i blew up. i was like, oh my god, this kid is really quick. how france been better at seizing chemo men sing game.
1:51 pm
this was a server, is the french esteem. those are coaching phrase. we use as a team, you have to find a way to win the game. it's about winning. it's not about how good or football you can play. it's about winning and the french team, whether you attack them or whether you draw yourself back and you counter, they always find a way to play against any system information you are playing. so they find a way to break that down to win games. that's why then the final but the final coming up later tonight, but there was also a 3rd place player flips. bring you some of the action from belief i am away. we had our 1st middle witness of this woke up creation, taking out the bronze with a victory over the tournaments surprised the morocco. now in the group stages, the 2 sides played out in a little draw a creation. took an early lead in this one. just 7 minutes. go on when a great move, so you're still gaudy. all grab is 1st, we'll come go broken off behind for long just 2 minutes later through

1:53 pm
strong players who have resilience, they have good organization, they can plan well and still managed to get to 3rd in the walk up. by the way, please do not underestimate. this is a huge achievement for croatia. a lot of people are like, why are they celebrating? it's so much. it's only got 3rd come on. if you get 3rd in a walk up at $44.00 countries like gone on to smaller nationalities, if you get to 3rd prize money for the federation is huge. and for country us crazy, it means that the federation cannot develop. all right, we have to leave the george, but i think thank you very much. i'm very much appreciated and we look forward it to the final later tonight. remember there's more on our website, al jazeera dot com, forward slash world cup, or make sure you stay with al jazeera throughout the day. as we build up to the world cup final, between france and argentina. batsman biopic,
