| 0:00.0 | This is the SPSC daily, I'm K. Murray. This is Luis Miguel Echigarei and we have just witnessed |
| 0:08.8 | Argentina making it to the World Cup final for a sixth time in their history. No such problems, |
| 0:15.4 | it seemed against Croatia. Probably was even easier than they were expecting. Three, |
| 0:20.2 | now it's finished. Julian Alvarez involved in all three goals, but we saw some vintage messy |
| 0:26.0 | Luis Miguel and that is where we must start. A vintage messy, K. Murray. A vintage messy 35 years old |
| 0:36.0 | and he's defying gravity, logic, football logic. I don't know what to tell you. It was a remarkable |
| 0:43.6 | achievement. Our producer keeps giving us stats on Lionel Messi in this World Cup and I'm sure |
| 0:48.3 | that K. And I, we're going to talk about some of them, but it's really more than that. This man |
| 0:53.5 | is ridiculous. The fact that he was the man of the tournament in 2014 when they were in the final, |

| 1:24.3 | Julian Alvarez, in so as well in the middle with the power and the callister. But really, this is |
| 1:29.3 | about Lionel Messi leading his Argentina side to another World Cup final. Fantastic stuff for the |
| 1:35.3 | South America. Now tell you what, what a story. Lionel Messi just take even his club career aside. |
| 1:40.4 | Just his story with Argentina with its ups and downs through the years leading up to even this |
| 1:44.8 | point. Even if it stopped here, it would be a fantastic read for anyone. Definitely some great |
| 1:50.8 | viewing as well. Anyway, we can welcome in now a man who's written many a story about Lionel |
