a michael ok, sports life is up next. looking at how football is bringing people in argentina together in difficult times. but 1st, some stunning footage that nasa has shared a view of the northern lights as seen from the international space station. ah ah, what our sports all a scoring did we say they were about never giving up sports life every weekend on d w. imagine how many portion of lunch are now in the world right now.

the climate change is very hot story. this is my flex the way from just one week. how much work can really get we still have time to go. i'm going on with flex, if it's subscribe or molding it was like oh, after 36 years, argentina, when i woke up, finally again, sparking a football carnival on the streets of gwyn aside for a 1000000 people on the street or 5000000. no one knows exactly a demonstration. how much football matters to this country football here is a religion more than anywhere else in the world. it seems

there is hardly any other country in the world where football is a matter of life or death. as i found out on the very day of the 2022 world cup final inborn was situs. when big emotions came to town, washing away everything else. but why? i came here to where no site is to find out more about this extreme form of passion . a football leak will apply a lot of fun. yeah. see, know them inside out of the element that how about it? i don't, you know, if i'm going to be tough, what about them? you know, what does this tell us about fandom as a whole? why are people football fan? what is the real power for chapter one, the day of the final well, the day started quietly, thousands gathered in parts to watch the final against france on giant screens.

they came to cheer for argentina, the 1st indicator of a religion. they're a spiritual leader, is a jesus like figure. there are some fans who want argentina to win because of just one man. nothing. i bought amazing of them, which i'm about. amazing. i wonder, is it all about this still? or is it about the whole g messy, the messiah attracted football fans from all over that day. take this guy from australia. it doesn't matter where we are from all over the world except for france . we just want to say messy with about cup or these folks from israel. why do you all where messy jersey because of the god as really i don't bother the heart of been messy alone is a religion. it seems but not just him as the rest of the day would show all of it. oh i

to fan spelt it out, the argentinian national anthem as if there were no to morrow and soon till an excitement penalty for argentina with wow, complete may in the air gets filled of some kind of foam. the passion is real. but then also these scenes, france come back from being to nail down, out of nowhere, grown up people in despair, in tears, in deep prostration voodoo like gestures. from screams of joy, to a feeling that death is emma. ah, but wait. $3.00 to $2.00

argentina, an extra time and these fellows dry, like they only will again the day their kids will be born. the passion is not just real, but even somewhat unreal. there is another goal for france, penalties, nail biting suspense until this shot delivered argentina. they're working with so what we're gonna do is we're going to go there. i guess i'm gonna be out of

a party. i believe argentina's triumph sparked an atmosphere reminiscent of a revolution. millions flocked towards the cities hart, the obelisk. ah, it was infectious. i felt like singing along and hugging random people historic day, but in the middle of all these lunatics, i thought again, how on earth can football be the spark for all this? let's 1st ask argentinians and then let's see if there is any relevance for the rest of humanity to chapter to the day after public transport was back gone. and so was life. the party seemed to have ended, although the streets were looking very hung over. still, this seems to be a good moment to ask people with a bit of this then maybe why?

yesterday was armageddon. the 1st him comes from a prolific argentinian football writer marcella mora yet. ohio. she's in a lucky position because she witnessed all 3 argentinean work up titles so far. 1978. 19862022. i'm just lenient kona boy, but a said but other than other than that a so good. okay. lemme us will be i la la. like in my saddle it be theory almost facility human. this will bice, the lead, the i'm in the hallway and let them in the same way. welcome. when i see on go now bless young boy that a need on the him. we'll jump out of the head moon, the dog, waiting for it in this. get that i will head football a little rattle a because through internet they see a, a funder. thea, she said get a though when yoni they indiana santa argentina in fact has the 2nd largest number of immigrants in the world. second only to the united states ahead of countries such as canada, brazil, and australia. argentina saw massive waves of immigration in the 19th and 20th

centuries. the tango became the dance of all the different folks that had newly arrived. but other than that, this melting pot often lacked a common denominator. and this is where football came in as a national symbol, often stronger than anything else in the country and flew over the oak. how can i chico by that on do? but i thought really good to me because it didn't. again, daniel physically was this was, i mean like, you know, like as if you're very sick with i'm sick. it's all about it is you, i'm with, oh, did you know that tended i last thursday. i'm gonna be, i'm sending you the like the you i but, but be that it all good. i'm, i'm actually on those every could put it on. if it was our fed that can know that they, oh, i give it a whole done up in it. i don't want to, yeah, i met him up from france and went to cents for country last to 2022 final a total minority. and she still felt like singing along with the champions

settings i'm for, you mentioned get you to get your national single not wow. you tell me enough go mass from not massive amounts of social and i you belong to any match in on it up to. susie stevie. so my book righty from side. okay. one point has been made so far. football, passion. it was a feeling of unity in origin. tina bit osa, luckily gumbo to get a handy. nancy e. t lane all oh it's about a lini. agonal boy exploded ac. nothing but i know visual football at by ease that got us in the doorway. liliana, unless you took a look if in element they will not go. saginaw boy, i'm of the i will say no matter. kelly. but pansy. i get the needle in order. my hello it is. can sally let him fina al moon know econ keith. hello. good. i so nice football was introduced to argentina in the 2nd half of the 19th century by of course, british immigrants. the 1st league was contested in 1891,

the oldest league, and the world outside of great britain. the epic argentinian figures, diego marable, 9 lunel may see, did not grow out of a country with no football tradition. but when speaking to argentinians, there are also other explanations to be heard of. well, genesee delasandri a lady asking ortho needle down does no, sir, no jail bogo. donna, italy, i guess they as i'll dandy, got a shadowy, now he gave his boy. he doesn't want to live long enough, we'll edit it again. i said, honestly, doubtless. oh, but up let's say he any that dinner was i used to play bombs, have a got it. i don't know. there are many open wounds in argentina. one for example, if the military dictatorship, the country lived through from 1976 to 1983. while people have been killed by the regime, argentina one, their home world cup in 1978. another wound repeated economic crises hitting the country hard. football can help provide role models on how to survive. argentina's

inflation reached the highest peak and decades in 2022. but it is a problem that has been around for a long time already in 2001. there was a severe crisis. people took to the streets and looted supermarkets. now cove, it in russia's war against ukraine has made an already difficult situation. worse for out of 10 argentinians live below the poverty line during the world cup and katara close out on a one front that they hit us yet than a ceremony stock. i shall for you all are not about the odd friend there. if i said, if you had a moment at all, and i don't know of any, what then? thank you for boy. hey, i'm getting bobo and co signed. i started one of my chapter or 3. let's dive a bit deeper still. if possible. maybe the may him in argentina when they, when the world cup tells us even more,

more about the importance of 22 people chasing a ball around on a field. does football also tap into national sac? he's outside of argentina. i guess if you look closely enough. yes. take germany house of the 2006 world co, a country that could finally feel comfortable, it waving its own flag again. 60 years after it set the world on fire. take friends in 1998. well capella, send winners when it's celebrated, its own diversity as an immigrant country. ah. or take morocco in 2022. a team that served as a sort of pana radian source of pride, appealing to an entire region and to many around the world. but still let's not exaggerate the power of football and football a. but i fully hamlin tackles analysis here in la gay exceed there. that are nice,
