Welcome to Atlanta for England against Argentina in a huge World Cup semifinal.
Been to a lot of games in this World Cup, been lucky to do that all across the USA.
This feels different today.
The energy, the atmosphere, the excitement, the nerves, is equal between both fan bases.
Spoke to a lot of England and Argentina fans, and both of them feel very similar about this game.
They know it's gonna be physical, they know it's gonna be tight, they know they're gonna need their superstars like Messi, Alvarez, Kane, Bellingham, to step up and make the difference.
But they are so passionate.
They love this game.
There's so many similarities between England and Argentina.
I've been speaking to a lot of people about that.
Wrote a feature on it on NBCSports.com about how they just suffer.
They suffered so many times over the years with their national teams, but now they're here in a World Cup semifinal, and I think got here in a very similar way.
Haven't been at their best throughout this tournament, not free-flowing, but they've got it done.
They're here in the Final Four, and now one of them is gonna play against Spain in the World Cup final on Sunday.
We'll have live analysis, reaction, and much more from here in Atlanta.
Huge party atmosphere.
Argentina fans everywhere, England fans in the pubs singing everywhere.
This is what the World Cup is all about.
I'm so excited.
What a game this promises to be.
England against Argentina, let's go.
