Time has come.
Fans from both Spain and Argentina are getting ready for today's huge match.
That's right.
Ashley Dvorkin joins us this morning at Hudson Yards.
Ashley, we're jealous.
We want to be there.
Good morning.
Good morning, Jake and Brian.
Yes, it has been so much fun these last few days.
You feel the excitement.
You feel the energy.
We are here at Hudson Yards.
This is one of many watch parties.
Bit of a windy morning here.
It is going to be packed later today as everybody gets ready for this highly anticipated match.
It's all led up to this.
Spain versus Argentina on the pitch.
Music superstars on the stage.
48 teams competed in 103 World Cup matches.
And now it's time for match 104, the final.
Spain and Argentina square off at New York-New Jersey Stadium.
Each follow up their final training sessions with confidence, respect for their opponent, and sights set on a win.
They've had fun during their Big Apple stay.
Argentina's Lionel Messi joined Fanatics Fest and reminisced with Tom Brady about the viral pic with him bathing Spain's Lamin Yamala's baby in a charity photo shoot.
Saying it's crazy the two are now facing off.
From the pitch to the performers.
Audiences are ready for the concert in store.
Kicking things off before kickoff, Jennifer Hudson will sing the U.S. National Anthem.
Post Malone is headlining the closing ceremony.
Midway Music features the first ever halftime show with a much discussed run time.
According to FIFA, the show itself will be 11 minutes long.
Shakira, Madonna, Justin Bieber, BTS, and Coldplay lead the lineup there, keeping the party going.
So 80,000 fans are expected at the stadium.
50,000 are expected in Central Park for an official watch party there.
As we all finally find out who wins the World Cup.
Jake, Brian.
I mean they just finished their Knicks celebration and now they get to turn around and have this World Cup.
Share the wealth a little bit here in Chicago.
Ashley, thank you very much. Good to see you.
