Besides the difficulty of working there, the weather conditions add to the challenge. This is getting more and more complicated. But the rain wasn't the worst part, because while we had already left work, Miguel was still out there, completely alone. It's raining too much, but that's not going to stop me. I am the best tr Ah.

No, [laughs] There is a signal, let there be a signal, let there be a signal. But you're a fan of the bug. Come on. Don't worry, I have the one from Switzerland and I'm going to take care of jinxing it. worked because just 10 minutes after the game started, Argentina scored the first goal. [ovation] [ovation] [shout] talking about this one. [laughs] Everything was happiness and we were only thinking about the game until Miguel appeared and from his face we knew we were in Hey, don't get angry, don't get angry. It comes very wet. Look, see it. Hello. Get in , get in, don't get in . Nothing. Can you explain to me why you left me alone? We were working. We were working to reach the end of the final. Why are you you want me to show you what I was recording? I did record it in the pouring Honey, calm down, calm down. That? That Well, it started to rain really hard. Intention. There are three of us. Why does No. 3? No, there are five of us now. There are five of us and we bought tacos. Miguel, we'll keep you safe . We saved you some tacos. Do ? Yes. A towel. I want this. I'm No, Miguel, don't get Miguel. Oh man, he got annoyed. Never. Look, I've known Miguel for about four or four years. I've never seen him so The only time I saw him so angry was when they gave away his chicken. Perhaps we lost another member. As if Miguel's situation wasn't Goal! Damn! Goal! [shout] If Argentina failed to react, this the World Cup. Nando, Nando, give it your all. Nando, have it on. Sweat it out, crazy. The bad luck has to work. Nando was willing to do anything to jinx Switzerland. And so we reached hands and less and less hope. Just when it seemed everything would be decided in the penalty shootout, it happened. That's [shout] goal. [shout] Give it, give it Argentina, pa. Go Argentina! God, who put that in there? We had the divu, brother. Who scored that goal? Who scored that goal, brother? canceled. No no. [laughs] Oh, damn. No, no, no. After celebrating the victory, we realized that we still had a much bigger problem. Miguel had left very angry and we didn't know look for him. We are looking for a friend. He's a handsome, beautiful. He 's blond. We searched everywhere without finding any sign of Miguel until we finally saw him. Now all that remained was to find out if he would accept our apology. Nothing, friend, we came to apologize because I know we messed up there, we didn't know. It started raining really hard, right? Yes, that's started to rain a lot. We hid under a food stall and ran away. And it's not an excuse, but we know independent person and maybe in our minds we did n't remember you at that moment, but our subconscious said, "Miguel can handle this storm." He can be. He storms I've ever seen in Mexico City. We got desperate and went to the tent. We thought we were going to meet there, but we didn't have a chance to take out our phones to let you know. Hey, Miguel, let's go to the tent. So, we failed in that we didn't write to you, call you, or anything. Well, they went to a taco place, they went to eat n't eat, Miguel, we saved you. There are the tacos, see? We bought five tacos because there are five of us. It's also partly something that made me feel bad today. I was working, I was still working, and it's not even a matter telling me they were going to the tent, that doesn't matter . What I didn't like was that, I mean, I kept working thinking that we were all there at the same time as a team, as a group, and I was alone, and well, it was raining really were all feeling that, like you said, but in the end I was alone, we weren't saw that they were live. Do n't leave because we're very close. We've been at it for a month, we've been fighting for a month, I mean, you can't just right? And we need you on the team. Clear. No, no, you're the one who has the most talent for finding We started as a group and we have to finish as a group. I knew that after so many days things were going to get more complicated because we're tired, but no, we can't let you leave like this. Argentina was more important than a teammate they had to reach the final. I don't want to do it as some kind of punishment, and I obviously know that you could reach the final without me, you could reach the final without me, and I saw that today, but I'm not going to just leaving, because it's something very important for me and for the group as a whole. I'm going to sleep tonight , I'm going to rest for a while and I'll tell you tomorrow whether it's yes or no. I hope you can understand it. I know that tomorrow I'm going to serenade a girl I met about you, and I'd like you to be there with me to serenade her. Well, my friend, let's hope you get some rest today and
