Sitting at a dais setting to discuss the schedule

These men came together after a highly charged Final Draw for those 12 groups to discuss past World Cups they played in, and share some stories of those amazing countries they visited while performing in the tournament. They also shared how big a moment it was to play in the World Cup, but when it was Lalas’s turn to talk, he said the 1994 edition gave the moment for this sport to explode in the country, and that’s why we have a second one in this cycle.
