I woke up at 7:30, excited for the day ahead. Argentina was playing against Saudi Arabia first, while France was taking on Australia later on.
I quickly jumped in the shower and got ready, putting on a random shirt as I'll be 'stealing' a shirt from each team anyways.
I knocked on Luca's door. He immediately opened it, a smug smile on his face.
'Look who's here.' he crossed his arms. 'What a surprise.'
'Can you stop being a child?' I playfully pushed him. 'I'm more surprised that you're ready.'
'Helloooo.' he said pushing me. 'It's Argentina we're talking about.' Luca stepped out of the room and threw an arm over my shoulders. 'I would never be late.'

'Buenos días a todos!' (Good morning everyone!) I said with a smile.
'Cómo les va?' (How is everyone?) Luca smiled.
The players grew big smiles on their faces, greeting us warmly. After chatting a little bit, they gathered in front of me and Luca, patiently waiting to give them the start.
'Vale.' I smiled. 'En primer lugar, quiero empezar diciendo lo agradecido que estoy por trabajar con usted. Sé que probablemente se estén cansando de oírme decirlo tantas veces, pero no puedo evitarlo.' (First of all, I want to start by saying how grateful I am for working with you. I know you guys are probably getting tired of hearing me say it so many times, but I just can't help it.) I chuckled lightly, everyone joining in. 'En segundo lugar, no es ningún secreto que tengo un punto muy débil para este equipo y espero que ustedes lo hacen a la final. Estoy increíblemente orgulloso de todos ustedes y de lo que han logrado individualmente y como equipo a lo largo del tiempo, así que los apoyo. (Second of all, it's no secret that I have a very soft spot for your team and I hope you guys make it to the final. I am incredibly proud of all of you and for what you have achieved individually and as a team over the time, so I am rooting for you.)'
'Ahora es una fanática, por si no te has dado cuenta.' (She's fangirling now, in case you haven't realised.) Luca laughed.
'Usted está arruinando mi momento.' (You're ruining my moment.) I playfully pushed Luca. 'Por último, hoy tendremos una sesión de fotos, no tienes que preocuparte demasiado porque te ves genial.' (Lastly, today we'll have a photoshoot, you don't have to worry too much because you look great.) I glanced at all of them with a smile.
'Oh, créeme, ella intentará hacerte ver aún mejor.' (Oh, trust me, she will try to make you look even better.) Luca chuckled. 'Se tomará su tiempo, analizará todo, etc.' (She will take her time, analyse everything, etc.)
'I hate you.' I turned to face my bestfriend.
