A key mistake in the World Cup album that went unnoticed

A key mistake in the World Cup album that went unnoticed

The error is directly linked to a key mistake that is the start date of the tournament, since the copies were printed before the confirmation that the event was going to start a day earlier, on November 20, to respect the scheme that began in Germany 2006with the local playing the opening match.

Although the modification of FIFA It was a few weeks ago, the clash between Qatar and Ecuadorwhich was scheduled for Monday the 21st, happened on Sunday and this affected the fixture of the tournament that is reported in the album. This change was confirmed on Thursday, August 11, and the albums are usually released in the months leading up to the event, although in this case the releases did not arrive in time for the correction..

Another point is the numerationsince it is not correlatively, in this case from the 1 to 638, the total of the figurines, if not that it is numbered for each selection. In this way, that mystique that identified each album with the particular number for each figurine will not be there either. “Do you have the 234?”, “The 308?” To cite examples, they were always a clear guide for collectors when looking for players they didn’t have and being able to change them for others in case they had them repeated. Now each selection will have its particular numbering and there will be 19 in each of the teams, 18 for the footballers (there will be forced absences since in this contest the squad will be 26 players) and one for the shield.
