00:09 Hello, Eduardo.
00:10 - Hello, good afternoon.
00:11 How are you?
00:12 We are here on a very, very rainy afternoon
00:15 in Santiago, Chile, but still a lot of fans
00:17 coming to the National Stadium to witness
00:20 what is gonna be a very exciting evening
00:22 of athletic action.
00:24 One of the main attractions of the Pan American Games,
00:27 the athletic competition, later on in a couple of minutes,
00:30 we're gonna have the women's 100-meter hurdle final,
00:34 followed by the men's 110-meter hurdle final,
00:37 and also the women's and the men's 400-meter race.
00:41 All that is happening in a couple of hours
00:43 and several other events as well.
00:46 In men's basketball this morning,
00:48 Argentina defeated Panama 85 to 77,
00:52 and Venezuela had a very close game
00:54 against the Dominican Republic, winning 92 to 90.
00:58 Puerto Rico is gonna play Mexico,
01:01 and Brazil is gonna play Chile.
01:03 Tomorrow will be the last day of group action in basketball.
01:07 On male's field hockey happening in a couple of hours,
01:11 Argentina will play the United States.
01:13 Canada will play Chile, also looking for a spot
01:16 in semifinals.
01:18 In volleyball, also in semifinals,
01:20 Brazil and Colombia made it to semifinals,
01:22 and they're waiting for their rival,
01:24 the rival's gonna come between Puerto Rico
01:26 and Dominican Republic, and Chile and Argentina,
01:29 who play each other later on.
01:31 So all these teams waiting for the semifinals.
01:34 A lot of the sports are coming to an end
01:36 in the next couple of days.
01:38 Let's talk a little bit about what we talked earlier today
01:41 in another edition, about the big controversy
01:44 in Chilean football.
01:46 Chile's gonna play Mexico on the female's side this Friday,
01:49 on the final of the gold medal match,
01:51 and they might play without a goalkeeper.
01:54 We mentioned earlier that Tiane Endler, the captain,
01:57 she has to go back to France because this is not a FIFA date.
02:01 During FIFA dates, the clubs,
02:03 they have to lend the players to their countries.
02:06 Since this is not FIFA date,
02:08 the clubs don't have to lend the players,
02:10 it's up to their goodwill.
02:11 But right now, Olympic from Lyon,
02:14 they already called Tiane Endler back,
02:16 and also the substitute goalkeeper for Chile
02:19 was also called back for her club in Spain.
02:22 So Chile might have to play a final against a goalkeeper
02:26 against the Mexican team who already beat them
02:28 on the group stage, and now without a goalkeeper
02:31 makes a task even harder and very embarrassing
02:35 for the National Federation.
02:36 It's a big controversy in Chile.
02:38 Very likely someone is going to lose their job
02:41 because it shows pure, poor planification, poor planning,
02:45 and a big mistake that you cannot be made
02:47 at this type of events.
02:49 Of course, we're gonna follow this story,
02:51 and we're gonna follow all the results,
02:53 as I told you, are happening in just a couple of minutes
02:56 in the athletic competition.
02:58 From a rainy Santiago, we say bye to you.
03:00 Back to the studio.
03:01 - Thank you very much, Eduardo, for the information.
