Onside! It's Messi! Lionel Messi!

00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,599
CROWD ROARS

00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,919
Cuts inside. Pele...
That's a lovely pass!
6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,679
Carlos Alberto!
Oh, my word!

CROWD ROARS

Goal!
CROWD ROARS
11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,239
Monday morning in Miami,
somewhere in Florida,
12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,040
and Ian Fletcher is on a journey.
13
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,839
The 2026 Soccer World BLEEP
is to be co-hosted by the US,
14
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,599
in competition with
Canada and Mexico,
15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,120
in what will be the biggest sporting
event the world has ever seen.
16
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,639
Ian's here because
he's been recruited by BLEEP,
17
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,159
the organising body
for world football
18
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,679
which we're unable to name
for legal reasons -
19
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,079
to lead its 2026 Oversight team
in Miami
20
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,760
in a key new post
of Director of Integrity.
21
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,799
He's arriving at a moment
when, in a divided world,
22
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,640
sport means more to us
than it's ever meant.
23
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,959
And this is a post that's been
specially created for him
24
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:43,240
by BLEEP's previous
Director of Integrity, who left.
25
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,039
Ian.
Eric, hi.
26
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,839
Welcome to Oversight.
Ah, yes...
27
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:49,960
N-no... Very good...
28
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,759
My God, who knew you were so big?
29
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,559
We met on Zoom.
For all I know, you are a pygmy.
30
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,359
Yes. Turns out you are a giant.
31
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,599
Well, I wouldn't...
It's the modern condition.
32
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,599
We are in each other's faces
more than ever.
33
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,639
But from the neck down,
we are in uncharted waters.
34
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,959
Yes, well, it's very good
to be here, anyway.
35
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,279
Let me introduce you.
36
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,519
So, everybody!
The special one is with us!
37
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,480
APPLAUSE, BELL JANGLES
38
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,920
Well...
39
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,799
Thank you.
Well, thank you, thank you.
40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,039
I was just saying to Eric, it's
great to be here and to see you all.
41
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,199
Woo!
42
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,919
OK, so, let me show you.
43
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:28,919
We have your own desk for you,
I think. Right.
44
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:30,159
Emily? Yes.
45
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,239
Eric Van Dupuytrens is
mostly Belgian
46
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,439
and is in Miami as BLEEP
Chief Coordinating Attache
47
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,799
from their headquarters in Zurich.
48
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,359
Right. OK.
49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,999
So, here we are.
Yes.
50
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,119
We are in the very centre of things, yes?
51
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,039
Yes. No, I mean, it's right
in the middle, isn't it?
52
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,199
Yes...
53
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,679
OK. So, welcome.
So, I will leave you now.
54
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,959
Apologies if I have taken
too much of your time already.
55
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,479
No. And in the meantime, if I need
anything, I can ask Emily, is it?
56
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,080
Yes.
Yes.
57
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,679
Even though BLEEP
is based in Switzerland,
58
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,399
Ian's first task
is to establish his place
59
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,840
in a corporate culture
which is irretrievably American.
60
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,799
OK, great. So, shall we make
some sort of start?
61
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,679
Of course.
Oh, my God, so British!
62
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,159
By ten o'clock, Ian is chairing
his first-ever meeting
63
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,839
of the Oversight team's
Strategic Operations Group, or SOG.
64
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,759
So, first of all,
I just wanted to say hi, really,
65
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,519
maybe introduce myself a bit.
66
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,959
Hi. Yes.
67
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,839
And perhaps say something about
the journey we're all on together.
68
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,879
Great.
69
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,399
It's a crack squad of
individual men or women chosen
70
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,519
from soccer authorities right
across the three host nations
71
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,599
and assembled here in Miami
to see what happens.
72
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,199
As some of you might know,
I was lucky enough to be involved
73
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,079
in the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
74
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,559
Oh, my God. So great.
75
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,119
The Opening Ceremony!
Sure.
76
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,159
You had Mr Bean.
The Queen falls out of a helicopter!
77
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,639
Great.
Oh, my God. Brilliant.
78
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,639
So, just to clarify, guys,
it wasn't like she fell.
79
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,479
She was wearing a parachute.
OK, well...
80
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,079
Yes... Either way, OK, you had
the Queen coming out of the sky. No?
81
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,079
Yeah. Still pretty neat.
Yes. Well, anyway,
82
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,439
what I realise now,
that turns out to have been
83
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,679
just base camp on the way towards
an altogether higher...
84
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,039
DOOR OPENS
85
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,679
...and more momentous peak.
For sure.
86
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,639
So, there are going to be
challenging days on the way up.
87
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,239
Yeah. Yeah, 100%.
88
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,719
And we'll be relying on each other
every step of the way.
89
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,559
But when we get to...
Thank you, Emily.
90
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,759
...when we get to the top,
which, by the way, we will,
91
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,079
I think the view is going to be
pretty incredible for all of us.
92
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,439
Can I just say -
that is so beautiful, Ian.
93
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,159
Well, no... Truly.
94
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,279
Yeah. Great stuff.
95
00:04:58,280 --> 00:04:59,639
Uh, but anyway, in the meantime...
96
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,479
With fewer than 200 days to go
to the opening game
97
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,359
at the Estadio Azteca
in Mexico City,
98
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,799
the most pressing item in Ian's
inbox is the official announcement
99
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,199
of the semifinal venues on Friday.
100
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,919
It's a big moment,
both for the Oversight team
101
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,999
and for the two cities in question,
wherever they turn out to be.
102
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,919
And am I right in thinking that,
as of now, ie, today, Monday,
103
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,559
we haven't finalised where
those venues are?
104
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,999
Oh, my God. Nope. We have not.
Correct.
105
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,719
Right... Guys, do not get me
started on this, please.
106
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,879
No. OK. Let's not.
107
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,159
My name is
Gabriela de la Rosa
108
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,079
and I am VP Optics and Narrative
at 2026 Oversight.
109
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,119
So, when you host a tournament
like this, what are you doing?
110
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,679
What you are doing is you are
telling a story about who you are,
111
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,519
and you're telling
this story to the world.
112
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,439
Right. Yes.
So, then, in this case,
113
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,119
when you've got
three host nations...
114
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,279
Sure.
115
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:50,079
...uh, how do you decide
which story you're telling?
116
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,439
OK. For sure.
This is a challenge, yes. Yes.
117
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,559
So, I played 207 games for
Club Deportivo Guadalajara
118
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,559
in the Liga MX Femenil.
119
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,359
I represented Mexico
on the world stage 35 times.
120
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,919
I was CMO at the Federacion Mexicana
de Futbol Asociacion
121
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,439
for three years.
122
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,519
I am proud to be a Mexican woman.
Right.
123
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,599
This is my story, so, this is
the story I'm telling, yes?
124
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,999
Right, yes.
125
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,879
I mean, essentially, it looks like
we're down to a shortlist
126
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,679
of three possible venues for
two games, which, I have to say,
127
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,759
doesn't sound too difficult
in principle.
128
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,799
Good.
129
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,239
The idea of making
a last-minute decision
130
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,839
about something as crucial as
the venues for the 2026 semifinals
131
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:27,879
is one of a number of outstanding
projects bequeathed to him
132
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,799
by Ian's predecessor
as Director of Integrity.
133
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,559
I mean, Owen, perhaps with your
logistics hat on, do you want to
134
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,199
just take us through the headlines
with each of the options?
135
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,319
OK. I mean, if that's OK with you.
136
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,839
No, sure. OK. I'll give it a shot.
137
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:42,799
Um...
138
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,999
So, uh...
139
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,639
Vancouver, LA and Miami.
140
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,559
Three very different options here.
141
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,839
So, Miami we know, of course,
142
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:56,439
because we can pretty much
see it out the window.
143
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,839
So, I am Owen Mitchell and I am VP
Logistics and Execution here at...
144
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:03,279
Well, you know where we are.
145
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:05,359
I didn't choose that title,
by the way.
146
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,679
I have also been the Chief
Operating Officer at Canada Soccer
147
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,879
for the past eight years,
in case you're interested, and...
148
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,519
So, basically,
you're responsible
149
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,759
for the practicalities
of the whole thing.
150
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:16,839
Really? Jesus.
151
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,919
I'm still trying to figure out
how the coffee machine works.
152
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,559
I mean,
planning, infrastructure,
153
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,919
transport, everything.
154
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,399
I don't know.
I guess somebody must be.
155
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,800
Hey, maybe it is me.
156
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,199
Then, LA over there
on the west coast.
157
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,679
What can you say?
12 million people.
158
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,599
What they're all really doing there,
we don't know.
159
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,119
Stadium, functioning airport,
hotels, palm trees.
160
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,119
So, everything pretty much
where it ought to be.
161
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,239
That is when parts of it
aren't literally on fire.
162
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,879
Oh, my gosh. And you discount the
existence of the San Andreas Fault.
163
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,040
Our poor world, right?
164
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,000
Yeah. And then...
165
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,519
...Vancouver, up there in Canada.
166
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,719
What can I tell you? The BC Stadium
out there on False Creek,
167
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,439
you can walk there
from the SkyTrain station,
168
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,159
and you hear the harbour seals
calling out in English Bay.
169
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,799
When it comes to issues like
the venues for the semifinals,
170
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,079
Owen's job is to bring his
wealth of practical experience
171
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,639
and knowledge to bear
for the benefit of the whole group.
172
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:14,959
Right.
Well, thank you for that, Owen.
173
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,399
Sure. That's really helpful.
Yeah. Right.
174
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,319
This is a key decision
in so many ways. Yep.
175
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,439
Oh, my gosh. Right.
176
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,719
I mean, Sarah, from
an environmental point of view...
177
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,519
Absolutely.
So, financially, it's huge.
178
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,399
Yes.
Financially?
179
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,279
Like, we're not trying
to save the world here, right?
180
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,999
Excuse me?
Fuck's sake.
181
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,519
What do you mean, we're not
trying to save the world here?
182
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:34,959
That's exactly
what we're trying to do.
183
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,039
Well, I mean, shall we..?
184
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,159
OK. And, guys, we have not talked
about Guadalajara yet, yes?
185
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,559
Right? So...
Jesus. Guadalajara?
186
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:43,239
Yes.
So, just a detail.
187
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,959
Guadalajara is not
actually on the shortlist.
188
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,759
Exactly. This is what I'm saying.
189
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,919
It is not on the shortlist.
Yes, I mean...
190
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,999
So, excuse my language here
but, like, what is this?
191
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,959
Like, what the fuck?
Didn't we cover this?
192
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,919
We're not doing this
for shits and giggles, right?
193
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,079
Excuse me?
194
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,799
Honestly, I don't know why we're
even talking about this!
195
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,439
So, I'm Nick Castellano.
196
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,719
I'm VP Business and Legal at 2026
Oversight, as well as at US Soccer,
197
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,279
so, basically, that's everything,
the whole kit and caboodle.
198
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,519
You name it, it comes through me.
199
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,359
Do you want
to be a bit more specific?
200
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,399
Specific?
Yeah. Maybe some examples.
201
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,119
Listen, I'm trying
to save you time here.
202
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,599
What is this, the Supreme Court?
203
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:13,959
I mean, just looking at it,
204
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,639
with the opening game
in Mexico City
205
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,199
and the final in New York -
in other words, in the US -
206
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,959
is there an argument that
at least one of these semifinals
207
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,359
should take place in Canada,
208
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,040
which would mean Vancouver
in this case, obviously?
209
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,479
Don't look at me.
210
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,080
I mean, I don't know,
does that help at all?
211
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:33,960
Oh, my gosh.
212
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,399
Ja, gewijs. Ja, natuurlijk. Ja.
213
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,439
With the meeting over,
Ian has come to have a word
214
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,359
with BLEEP Chief Coordinating
Attache Eric Van Dupuytrens
215
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,120
who is visible in his office
talking on his phone.
216
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,999
So, Eric is busy right now.
217
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,679
Yes.
He's actually in a meeting.
218
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:58,999
A meeting?
Yes. Yeah. I just... It's OK.
219
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,519
I just wanted to have a quick word,
if that's OK... Sure.
220
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:02,759
{\an8}...when he's finished?
221
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,119
{\an8}If you could email me some times.
What? No...
222
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,719
Ian! Yes. Hi. You are here?
223
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,039
Yes. You are still with us?
224
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,639
Yes. No. I was just wondering
if you had a moment.
225
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,039
A moment?
Yes. Of course, yes. Of course.
226
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,319
And what is life but moments?
We must spend them wisely.
227
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,519
Yes. Thank you, Emily. Yes.
228
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,399
Really, she is a force of nature.
Yes... Truly.
229
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,599
In fact, I don't know
whether you remember this,
230
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,479
but I think
there was some mention
231
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,839
of me having an Emily of my own
at some point.
232
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,239
Absolutely, yes. Yes.
233
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,639
I don't know if you need
to talk to Zurich about that.
234
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,479
No-one has been in contact
with you about this?
235
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,839
No. Not yet. No.
236
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,999
So, then, I apologise.
I think we have good news here.
237
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,319
Oh? Yes.
238
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,799
Uh, perhaps we can say,
"Watch this space."
239
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,679
I will unleash Emily on this
immediately.
240
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:43,479
Right.
Then, we can say, "Look out!"
241
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:44,679
Yes. Please.
242
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:46,719
In theory,
Eric acts as a conduit,
243
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,119
not just between Zurich and
Miami, but also vice versa.
244
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,199
And already, even at the end
of the first meeting,
245
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,879
we move forward. Vancouver -
246
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,559
a decision. Yes...
247
00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:57,439
I think we can call this a result.
248
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,039
So I wanted to ask you
about process here...
249
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,559
On his first day in the job,
250
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:03,519
Ian is keen to get up to speed
with who people are,
251
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,359
how things work
and what that means.
252
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,959
And when it comes to the other
semifinal, LA or Miami...
253
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,319
Yes.
So, this... So, this email
254
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,639
about this Miami Day thing
on Friday?
255
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,679
Yes.
256
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:17,159
Which I'm supposed to be making
some sort of speech at?
257
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,839
Evidently so.
In which case, first of all,
258
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,399
what is it exactly?
259
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,919
Miami Day. Yes.
260
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,639
Well, yes. Exactly. What is it?
261
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,759
So what we know is that Americans,
262
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,159
they love to have days.
263
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,879
Right. Well, then,
264
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,519
perhaps we can say
this is something
265
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,400
that is exactly
what it sounds like.
266
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:35,479
Right. OK.
267
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,039
I hope that helps. Yes. Well...
268
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,079
Personally, I am looking
forward to it. Good.
269
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,079
But with the semifinals announcement
270
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,759
coming on the same day,
271
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,239
I mean, is that just a coincidence
272
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,039
or is there something else
going on here?
273
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,639
Ah, yes. Exactly. Who can say?
274
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,320
Right. Yes.
275
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,800
By the next morning,
it's a new day in downtown Miami.
276
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,559
It's day two.
277
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:01,959
Good morning. Hi. Yes.
278
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,039
Going up?
Yes. Well, I hope so, anyway.
279
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,880
Absolutely.
LIFT DINGS
280
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,879
So, I just want to say
it's so great you're here, Ian.
281
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,759
Oh. Thank you. That's... Truly.
282
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,239
Well... And it's so great
283
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,159
you're sitting at Bill's desk,
you know.
284
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,719
Right, yes.
285
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,679
And you're British, too, right?
Which makes it, I don't know...
286
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:25,479
Well, I can't do anything
about that.
287
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,919
Actually, it's kind of wonderful.
288
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,639
Well, thanks, anyway. Thank you.
289
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,440
LIFT DINGS AND DOORS OPEN
290
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,479
OK, so, then,
the raw sewage is pumped
291
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,759
from underground collecting tanks
292
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,239
back up to ground level
for treatment,
293
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,479
which separates water
from what we call sludge.
294
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:45,719
OK. Yeah.
295
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,239
So that's how that happens.
296
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,839
Wow. That's awesome.
297
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,199
By nine o'clock,
298
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,759
VP Sustainability and
Climate Strategy Sarah Campbell
299
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,359
is in a virtual meeting
all of her own making.
300
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,199
So, there are companies
301
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,199
that specialise
in the removal of fats,
302
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,039
oils and grease, known as FOAG,
303
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,039
or otherwise high-strength
waste from waste water.
304
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,439
OK. Like, they have tankers
305
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,719
and they go all over the city
literally sucking this stuff up
306
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,279
out of drains. Wow.
307
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,439
I know, right? Uh, so...
308
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,119
So what we discovered
is that if you add FOAG
309
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,799
to the digester
at the critical point,
310
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,879
the chemical reaction supercharges
the biogas production,
311
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,719
enabling us to literally double
the production of gas
312
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,040
and therefore double
our electricity production.
313
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,399
Right. OK.
314
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,479
But here's where
it gets interesting, right?
315
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,919
Absolutely.
316
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,039
My name is Sarah Campbell
317
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,839
and I'm VP Sustainability
and Climate Strategy
318
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,799
here at 2026 Oversight.
319
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,159
Essentially, it involves
putting the environment
320
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,839
at the heart of everything
we do to deliver a 2026
321
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,359
that's at the very least
carbon neutral.
322
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,519
In an ideal world, and I truly
believe it's possible,
323
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,239
we would be putting carbon
back into the environment
324
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,079
as a net result of everything we do.
325
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,999
Are you sure
you don't mean taking carbon
326
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,799
out of the environment?
Excuse me?
327
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,479
Otherwise...
Absolutely, right, exactly.
328
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,879
I truly believe it's possible.
329
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,719
33 million room nights
in LA hotels last year.
330
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,479
A direct visitor spend
of $24 billion.
331
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,999
Right. And those are big numbers.
Yes. Well, they are numbers.
332
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,039
This morning,
with one of the semifinals
333
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,399
already assigned to Vancouver,
the team is under pressure
334
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,119
to choose between the last two
shortlisted cities,
335
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,879
Miami and Los Angeles,
for the remaining game
336
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,719
before the official announcement of
venues on Friday.
337
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,319
I mean, in the end, I suppose
what we need to consider...
338
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,559
OK. OK. OK.
So this is a no-brainer, right?
339
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,439
Well... Los Angeles has eight
matches already. Right.
340
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,079
Eight! Jesus.
They have a quarterfinal already.
341
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,879
They had the Olympic Games in 1984.
342
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,159
The Olympic Games?
I think that's different.
343
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,359
LA is LA. We know what it is.
It is oatmeal and Mounjaro.
344
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,959
What? Mm.
345
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,559
It is La-La-La land, like the movie.
La-La. Excuse me?
346
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,919
It's not La-La-La. OK.
347
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,999
Yeah. La-La. Right. Well...
348
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,159
You know, I did not think we
would end up getting into this.
349
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,959
Guadalajara is not on
the fucking shortlist, OK?
350
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,399
This is not about Guadalajara.
We are not going back there.
351
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,039
This is about the story
we are telling.
352
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,999
And, plus, no, it's not
a fucking story, Gabriela!
353
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,919
Shall we come...
Am I a fucking five-year-old?
354
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,079
Well... Don't answer that. OK?
355
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,879
So, we calculate
that with the increase
356
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,560
in stadium capacity from 30,000
to 45,000 for the tournament...
357
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,199
Like, there's a sweet spot
for this technology.
358
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,719
Right. Close to...
359
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,839
A microbiologist
both by training
360
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,039
and by temperament,
361
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,239
Mathew Jones is leading a
flagship environmental project
362
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,599
at the BMO stadium in Toronto,
363
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,079
where 6 of the 104
2026 matches will be played.
364
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,919
And the good news is
that everybody poops
365
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,159
about a pound per day,
give or take, right?
366
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,759
And... Great.
367
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,879
...we calculate that
if we can increase that
368
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,599
by just a small margin...
Wait... Increase it? Right.
369
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:51,999
By just a small margin.
370
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,559
Then we think the stadium
371
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,639
could be completely self-sustaining,
372
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,839
which would be, like... a first.
373
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,879
Wow. All just by taking
the city's FOAG
374
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,479
and co-digesting it with our sludge.
375
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,880
Oh, my gosh.
376
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,719
Yeah, I mean, for me,
377
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,239
with LA, you had Beckham,
LA Galaxy -
378
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,879
2007-'08, the glory years.
379
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,599
Yeah, right.
You had Steven Gerrard,
380
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,559
Robbie Keane, Ashley Cole. Yes.
381
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,599
Excuse me?
It's iconic. It's showbiz.
382
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,079
OK, so, first of all,
Ashley Cole is not iconic, OK?
383
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,159
Well, that... He's not.
384
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,519
What I'm saying is, you got
all these statistics, right -
385
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,359
OK, fine, that's great. I get it.
386
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,999
But I'm sorry,
387
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,959
but for me, football
is about emotion, right?
388
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,839
And there's something
about LA, you know.
389
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,719
Well...
You can't put it into words.
390
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,639
No, evidently not.
391
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,839
So, I'm Phil Plank.
People call me Woody.
392
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,959
From Manchester, originally.
You can probably hear that.
393
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,359
Warrington, actually,
394
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,799
but over here nobody knows
where that is,
395
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,279
so I just say Manchester.
396
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,399
And I'm VP on Pitch Protocols
for 2026 Oversight.
397
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,559
I was playing football
398
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,039
back in the UK,
had trials for Oldham Athletic,
399
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,079
had a few games for the second team.
400
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,879
I actually played against
Phil Neville once
401
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,039
when he was coming back from injury.
So, yeah, beat that.
402
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,359
I mean, Owen, as VP Logistics
and Execution...
403
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:09,119
I did not choose that title,
by the way.
404
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:10,479
No, but in that role anyway...
405
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,279
Where have you landed with this?
406
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,839
Right. So, for me,
this whole thing,
407
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,599
I mean, I'm Canadian.
What do I care?
408
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,079
It's, like, Vancouver
and someplace else.
409
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,239
Right. No, but really,
410
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,079
all in all, in my gut,
I guess I would go
411
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,279
Miami. Great. Of course!
412
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,439
As the semifinal
debate continues,
413
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,759
it's beginning to look
as if opinion in the room
414
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,159
is now universally divided.
415
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,439
DOOR OPENS
Ah, right, Eric.
416
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,439
So, apologies, everyone.
What can we say?
417
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,399
When you are in the Zoom,
where are you?
418
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,639
You are everywhere
and you are nowhere.
419
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,119
Yes. Yeah, right.
420
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,479
So, what is the score here?
Do we have a result?
421
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,639
Right. Yes. Well, it's a good
time to arrive, actually.
422
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,639
It looks like we might need
a casting vote.
423
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,279
Me? Yes, I mean...
424
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,999
No, I'm sorry. What?
425
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,479
I cannot be involved.
I'm afraid I am the conduit only.
426
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:51,999
Absolutely. Yeah, right.
427
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,679
Especially with something like this.
Right. Perhaps we can say,
428
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,919
"Cometh the hour, cometh the man."
429
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,200
Yes? What?
430
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:00,680
Right. Yes.
431
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,039
By the end of the week,
it's Friday morning
432
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,159
and Ian is on his way across
town to the Krassman Center
433
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,479
for Performative Culture and
Arts for the Miami Day thing,
434
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,119
whatever that turns out to be.
435
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:15,799
So, why Miami in the end?
436
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,559
Well, someone had
to make a decision, I suppose.
437
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,039
Yes, but why Miami, though?
Why not LA?
438
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,119
Right. Yes. I mean,
LA is great, obviously,
439
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:24,839
but in the end...
I mean, what do I know?
440
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,439
I've only been here a few days.
441
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,639
But somehow it just feels...
PHONE BUZZES
442
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,319
Oh, actually, I'd better
just take this.
443
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,839
Sure. Gabriela. Hi.
444
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,200
No, I haven't. Why?
445
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,239
Dallas and Atlanta? What do
you mean, Dallas and Atlanta?
446
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,079
What the hell did they come from?
447
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,520
No, I know where they are.
448
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,959
I know we did.
But just when it looked
449
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,599
as if the decisions on
semifinal venues had been made,
450
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,079
suddenly there's the sound
of goalposts moving.
451
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,439
Yes, I know it is.
452
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,079
I know we have. Yes, I know.
Actually, Gabriela,
453
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,279
can you come back into English
for a second?
454
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,599
Great. Gracias.
455
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,159
Power of Poop? Right. OK...
456
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,239
Meanwhile, back at Oversight HQ,
457
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,759
Sarah is in a meeting with
the 2026 social media team.
458
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,199
#PowerOfPoop.
Like, we really like that.
459
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,639
Totally. Yeah, like, dude.
460
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,199
OK...
461
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,839
They've been working on ideas
462
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,039
for giving her Waste-Water Future
campaign more grippiness
463
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,039
in a famously slippery
social media world.
464
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,079
I don't know, "Waste-Water Future"
just seems more...
465
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,559
...I don't know, I guess...
OK, so, this has got to pop. Right.
466
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,759
Right, and truth is,
poop pops, right?
467
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,119
Sure. Totally.
468
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:32,759
I guess... maybe we could
just try it, right?
469
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,239
Sure. Totally.
470
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,879
See what happens. Right.
471
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,999
I mean, if it doesn't work...
So, it's done.
472
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,119
...we could... Excuse me?
473
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:40,879
It's done. I just posted it. Cool.
474
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,199
OK. Sure.
Like, this is gonna be so cool.
475
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,560

00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:52,680
CHEERING
512
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,319
So, first of all,
513
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,279
I want to welcome members
of the 2026 Oversight team
514
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,519
for taking the time
to be with us here today.
515
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:03,799
Welcome, guys.
516
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,919
It's truly an honour for us
to have you with us.
517
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,119
Whoo! And I want to say
518
00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:11,519
a personal thanks to you
for choosing Miami,
519
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,639
this great city of ours
520
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,359
and the soccer capital of the USA!
521
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:19,840
CHEERING
522
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,359
Thank you for choosing us
as host city
523
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:27,799
for seven great games already!
524
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,560
CHEERING
525
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,799
What can I say?
526
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,079
You guys have made
the right choices...
527
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,799
...up to now.
528
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,679
And hopefully it's not over yet.
529
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,639
Miami First! You know it!
530
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,199
Miami First! Miami First!
531
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,639
Miami First!
532
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:47,959
Say what?
533
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,279
Miami First! Say it again!
534
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,399
Miami First!
535
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,359
I can't hear you! Miami First!
536
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:53,519
Miami First! I can't hear you!
537
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,399
Miami First!
538
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,240
CHEERING
539
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,879
So, I believe I'm right
in saying Eric is in Atlanta.
540
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,639
Eric's in Atlanta?
Yes, exactly.
541
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,319
Yeah. No,
he's completely gone. Yeah.
542
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,959
If it wasn't clear what
the Miami Day thing was about,
543
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,879
it is now. So, Eric is not replying.
Yeah, right.
544
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,119
OK. Well...
545
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:17,039
His notifications silenced.
Fuck's sake.
546
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,399
It looks as if the dignitaries
at Miami First
547
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,119
have timed Miami Day
deliberately to coincide with
548
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:24,199
the announcement
of the semifinal venues,
549
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,319
on the assumption
that they'd got one.
550
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,319
But the problem
for the Oversight team
551
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,359
is that apparently they haven't.
552
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:32,239
Wanna know what this is?
He's playing that audience
553
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,319
like a fucking violin
out there. Well... It's a shakedown,
554
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,759
it's a lay-off,
it's a ham and cheese sandwich!
555
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,279
Yes. Well, whatever it is...
DOOR OPENS
556
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,919
Oh, OK. Yes?
557
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,199
Excuse me. Right.
558
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,159
So, we're busy, yes? Sure. OK.
559
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,879
Run. Thank you.
Anyway, the point is,
560
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,959
we can't stay in here.
Essentially, we're in a toilet
561
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,319
and we're going to have
to come out.
562
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,839
Yeah, nice one.
So, when you're on the pitch,
563
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,799
attack is the best form
of defence, yes? Right.
564
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,879
What? Without a doubt.
What the fuck does that mean?
565
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,039
I mean, is there anything
we can give them instead?
566
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,799
This is what I am saying.
So, like what?
567
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,039
Well, I don't know.
Some fucking flowers?
568
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,239
Just something as a kind of...
Just to make it seem...
569
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,759
What, like the third-place
playoff final or something?
570
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:05,959
What? Excuse me?
571
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,639
Yeah, er...
The third-place playoff?
572
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:08,799
I'm just... Well, hang on.
573
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,799
Fuck's sake! Are you actually mad?
Wait a minute.
574
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,559
OK, I'm just saying.
The third-place playoff final?
575
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,959
Yeah. Right. OK. Interesting.
576
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,920
Yeah. Or fucking flowers.
577
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,879
OK, here we go.
Cool. It's happening.
578
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,159
Meanwhile, back across
town in the social media world,
579
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,999
events are unfolding literally IRT.
580
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,279
But... so, like,
what is happening here?
581
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,999
OK, so, this is the Power of Poop,
right? Right.
582
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,079
Totally. Right. Like,
#PowerOfPowerOfPoop. Right?
583
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,999
Right. Hey? Pachoo!
584
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,639
So, like,
585
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,679
who are these people? Who are they?
586
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,159
Like, who's ShinyEarwig? OK...
587
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,159
Have they actually read...?
Like, I don't know
588
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,599
who ShinyEarwig is. Right?
Who is MrBeast?
589
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,919
Like, these are people who,
until a few moments ago,
590
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:01,839
had never...
591
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,199
MrBeast? Wait.
592
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,679
No way. What?
593
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,119
You're kidding. No way!
594
00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:08,359
Oh, my God, it is! It's him!
Dude! Oh, my God!
595
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:09,959
What?! What is happening?
596
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,720
MrBeast! Jesus Christ!
597
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,079
So, yes, we look forward
598
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,639
to sharing the journey with you
599
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,439
as we count down to June the 11th,
600
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,479
to the start of the greatest
sporting event on Earth,
601
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,359
and to celebrating
everything that Miami
602
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:32,199
can bring to that event
603
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,919
in its many and various ways.
604
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,639
So, yes. Thank you. Yes.
605
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,279
APPLAUSE
606
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,559
Great. That is so great to hear
that from you guys. Truly.
607
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,239
Uh, OK. So, we have time for
a few questions if anybody...
608
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,719
Uh, yeah.
Hi, Judith. Go ahead.
609
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,599
Thank you, Daniel.
610
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,879
Judith Jones, Channel 3 News,
Florida.
611
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,239
Hi. Hi.
612
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,879
So, you're announcing the venues
613
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,759
for the semifinal matches
this afternoon?
614
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,119
Yes. Obviously, there's been a lot
of speculation around that.
615
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:03,639
Daniel made reference to the fact
that Miami is ready and standing by.
616
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:04,999
Yes. Is there anything
617
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,999
you'd like to say about that
ahead of the announcement?
618
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,639
Right. Yes. OK. Thank you. So...
619
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,279
Great question, Judith, by the way.
620
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,119
Yes. So...
Excuse me, Ian. You go ahead.
621
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:16,359
Yes. I mean, obviously, uh,
these are big decisions.
622
00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:19,639
Uh, it's something we've given
a great deal of thought to.
623
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,479
Obviously, I won't pre-empt
this afternoon's announcement.
624
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,839
You wouldn't expect me to.
625
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,839
We'll have to wait and see
what that contains.
626
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,839
But, in the meantime,
627
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,079
I think I can say this.
628
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,919
Well, in fact, I'm going to.
629
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,479
As I say, we've given a lot
of thought to this.
630
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,719
Semifinals are fine.
They're one thing.
631
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,279
They're great occasions.
632
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,479
But, in the end,
they are SEMIfinals.
633
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,319
Or as you would say,
"sem-aye-finals", after all.
634
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,359
Um, and as you say, uh, Daniel,
this isn't just any city,
635
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:49,719
this is Miami.
636
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,159
WHOOPING
Yeah, this is the...
637
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,399
Yes.
638
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,999
Uh...
639
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,439
...the soccer capital of the US.
640
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,039
WHOOPING
641
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,119
And so,
without giving too much away,
642
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:07,039
maybe Miami deserves
something better than that.
643
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,399
CHEERING
Well...
644
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,839
I don't know. What if Miami deserved
645
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,759
a final all of its own?
646
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:14,799
CHEERING
647
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,959
I mean... I don't know.
648
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,599
Am I right?
649
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,760
CHEERING, WHOOPS
650
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,559
Miami First! Miami First!
651
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:32,439
Miami First! Miami First!
652
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:33,919
Miami First!
653
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,239
If it's starting to look
as if Ian Fletcher
654
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,239
might have survived
his first week in Miami
655
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,279
as Director of Integrity,
656
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,399
perhaps the last thing he
expected was a hero's welcome
657
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,759
back at Oversight HQ.
658
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,919
Well, now, no, really...
Power of Poop!
659
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,319
And as things turn out, he'd be
right in not expecting that.
660
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,239
Power of Poop! Power of Poop!
661
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,120
Power of Poop!
662
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:02,159
Oh, hi. Hey, Ian.
663
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,319
Just thought I'd come in here
for a bit. Absolutely. Me too.
664
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,759
What's happened out there? I feel
like I've missed something.
665
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,279
Well, you know... Don't tell me
you've managed to save the world
666
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,319
after all. You know, it's funny
you should say that.
667
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,799
So, I don't exactly know
what happened here...
668
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,719
What's happened is that thanks to
the power of the Power of Poop
669
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,199
and a random like from global
YouTube superstar MrBeast,
670
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,679
who is a real person,
671
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,279
incredibly, 400 million people
have become aware
672
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,119
of Sarah's Waste-Water
Future initiative
673
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:31,479
when they were previously aware
of virtually nothing.
674
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,879
400 million followers. 400 million?
I know, right?
675
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,599
Congratulations! I know.
That's incredible. Yeah. So...
676
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,559
You want a high five? High five?
677
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,200
Uh, yeah... Um...
678
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,079
This has been some week, right?
Well, yes.
679
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,359
Maybe we didn't save the world.
I mean, not today, anyway.
680
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,639
But you gotta start somewhere,
right? Yes. You gotta try.
681
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,559
Yes, I mean, no, it's certainly
been a great week.
682
