The yellow credentials that you have, there will be someone here, there will be a couple people, either Vicki or Bill or Andrew.

And we'll all be happy.

Hey, how long is this going to last? Less than an hour, jumping around.

We're going to go up the stairs here into the building.

We're going to go up to the north east colonnade.

There's a podium up there and the governor will...

This is the shadow that you're going to get.

We're going to do quite this for them.

Can we ask everybody to take a couple of steps back or nobody will get anything here? There's just too many people who can't get in.

Two steps back, please.

We're very pleased to have these two countries kick off the World Cup here in Chicago and here in the United States to people around the world.

And we think the long -term economic benefits are just unlimited.

The residual effects, I just don't think anyone can measure.

I might call on my two good friends here if they'd like to make any comments about upcoming events here.

It is certainly a very exciting and wonderful event to have the soccer championship here for the first time in Chicago and more popular all over the world and will make soccer more popular here in the United States.

And I wish everybody a wonderful time.

We are very proud to be here.

Don't get into it.

Governor, how about the concern about the tourists, if they deserve it or not? What about the concern about their security when they come into city streets? Well, there's been some troubles in some other parts of the country, but I don't see a problem here.

Now, when they have the opening ceremony, when they turn that down for the game, it's a goal right in front of them.

It's also film stuff, right? The guys are standing right there.

They can't because the game starts right after the game.

I mean, immediately.

It looks like Korea.

That's a TV game.

Because the governor was supposed to.

Okay, thank you very much.

And there are defined folks.

One of the country's great newspapers is Chicago Tribune.

Float number 24 is Pakistan.

These are the figures on the float.

The Greek words in Pakistan's wordy book, over Pakistan.

The wheat field symbolizes the cultural economy of Pakistan.

Come to a straight edge.
