00:02Oh
00:30Wow. Well, as you heard there, no respect between these two sets of fans.
00:35This is a hated rivalry.
00:38Kickoff for a place in the world.
00:39These guys were even born.
00:41What it means, though, is that all of these players have grown up
00:44being told some very not nice things about those guys
00:48on the other side of this game here today.
00:52What it means is that this atmosphere is charged with that emotion
00:56and with that history.
00:57And so what you have is already a big game.
01:00It's a World Cup semifinal.
01:01You've got Spain watching to see who they're going to play Sunday afternoon in New Jersey.
01:06But now you've added all that history and all that emotion,
01:09and you've given this game an incredible and potentially nasty edge.
01:14And, oh, by the way, you have a historic moment
01:17with an all-American on-field officiating crew,
01:20and it's their job to navigate it.
01:23Which players will be decisive out there?
01:26Which nation will set a date for Sunday afternoon in the World Cup final?
01:31It is England.
01:32It is Argentina.
01:34It is 70,000 fans in Atlanta.
01:37It is ear-splitting loud.
01:39It is a wonderful occasion, and it is underway.
01:45The three Lions of England wearing white,
01:48Argentina changing to the dark blue, not by accident.
01:51They wore dark blue in 86.
01:52They wore dark blue in 98.
01:54They remember things like that.
01:56And listen, both of these teams have gotten here the hard way.
02:00We were there in Miami, stifling conditions Saturday night
02:03as England outlasted Norway in extra time,
02:05having gone down to the Azteca, beaten Mexico City,
02:09having trailed on this field for over an hour against DR Congo.
02:13Same thing, though, for Argentina.
02:14Twice in the last two weeks, they've had to go to extra time.
02:18Cape Verde pushed them all the way, as did Switzerland.
02:20It was on this field they came back from two goals down to beat Egypt.
02:24Both of these nations are also chasing history.
02:26For England, it would be a first World Cup final appearance in 60 years.
02:31For Argentina, their history is actually 64 years.
02:35Since the last time that a team went back-to-back winning the FIFA Men's World Cup,
02:40that was Brazil in 1962.
02:44So a lot of history, a lot at stake, a lot behind it,
02:47but what's actually going to happen on the field here today?
02:49Play the game, not the occasion.
02:51And that's the hardest part for both teams on the field right now
02:54is to play the game they want to play it.
02:58Argentina want to play this game with emotion and intensity.
03:02England want to try to play a little bit of football,
03:04but they also can match.
03:05Hay dos más cerquita del área de Argentina para el ataque.
03:09Aquí va a caer la pelota, allá va el balón pasado.
03:13Caía en inglés un argentino.
03:16Ahora se arma el contragolpe, la pelota de Lionel Messi.
03:19Balón que queda detenido.
03:21Pierna arriba finalmente de Gai.
03:23Es un tiro libre.
03:24La diferencia más central, mientras que la araña va sobre la banda zurda.
03:28El balón es de Lisandro Martínez.
03:30A ver, lo que necesitamos es más fútbol y menos esta pelea que no lleva a nada.
03:35Enzo Fernández es el que la tiene.
03:37Ahí está Enzo todavía, cambia todo Lionel Messi.
03:40Se caía, recupera Nahuel Molina, que la está jugando con Cristian Romero.
03:44El balón es de Enzo Fernández.
03:46Otra vez la toca con Nahuel Molina.
03:48Le pide Alexis McAllister, prefiere jugar atrás con Cristian Romero.
03:53Espera, en pocos metros, la selección inglesa devuelve Leandro Paredes.
03:58Balón de Cristian Romero.
04:00Ahora le dejan venir al zaguero central.
04:02Juega con Álvarez.
04:04Julián Álvarez, otra vez, Cristian Romero.
04:07Para tener la pelota, alarga para Lionel Messi.
04:10Que aparece bien pegado allá, Anthony Gordon lo persigue.
04:13El balón arriba para Julián o Simeone.
04:15Le levantaron inmediatamente la bandera, tiro libre.
04:18Buen movimiento este de Argentina, más allá de que en principio está adelantado.
04:21Balón hacia atrás, para Guy una vez más.
04:24El zaguero centro, prefiere tocar corto.
04:27Anthony Gordon vuelve a tener, hacia atrás.
04:30Balón de Marguay.
04:33Zaguero central con su compañero John Stones.
04:36Y recién va a cruzar la mitad de la cancha.
04:38Juega con Rhys James.
04:40Prefiere tocar para Rogers.
04:42Este la toca arriba con Rice.
04:44Rice entre dos argentinos.
04:46Rogers trataba de irse.
04:47Ahí el que aparecía para marcar era Lisandro Martínez.
04:52El rebote se pierde.
04:53Balón de Nahuel Molina.
04:55Lionel Messi otra vez se frena para volver a recibir.
04:58Ahí está el zurdo.
04:59Lionel todavía la juega con Alexis McAllister.
05:02El balón sigue siendo argentino.
05:03Leandro Paredes aparece ahora.
05:05Alexis McAllister.
05:07Ahora está Enzo Fernández.
05:08Leandro Paredes otra vez.
05:10Lentamente Argentina.
05:11Lentamente Inglaterra.
05:13Ahí está Leandro.
05:14Le pide Nahuel Molina.
05:15Prefiere no hacerlo.
05:16Y entonces se entretiene con el balón.
05:19Ahora cambia todo.
05:20Llega Nicolás Tagliafico.
05:21No, más bien es Julián Álvarez.
05:23Julián que trata de tirar el centro.
05:25Luis James se cruzaba.
05:27El balón vuelve a ser del equipo argentino.
05:29Y ya va a mover el balón.
05:31El mismo Julián Álvarez es el que se apura.
05:33Y le entrega a Lisandro Martínez.
05:36Pelota de Leandro Paredes.
05:38Nuevamente para Lisandro Martínez.
05:40En campo de los ingleses.
05:42El que se viene es Nicolás Tagliafico.
05:44Que va tocando hacia atrás.
05:46Balón de Lisandro Martínez.
05:47Y luego Leandro Paredes.
05:49Pega cortito.
05:50Pelota de Cristian Romero.
05:52El cuti con Alex McAllister.
05:55Casi la pierde.
05:56La recupera el mismo.
05:57Cristian Romero.
05:59Llegaba desde atrás.
06:00Jude Beringham quedó golpeado.
06:02Alexis McAllister.
06:03El árbitro ya sancionó la falta.
06:05Ayer veíamos cómo...
06:07En Jordan Pickford.
06:09Le está tirando arriba.
06:10Pero equivocado.
06:11Porque el que gana es Cristian Romero.
06:13La pelota es de Enzo para Álvarez.
06:18Álvarez le quiso entregar a Enzo.
06:19Se cruzó Lionel Messi.
06:21Que en cambio no esperaba el pelotazo.
06:23Yo creo que no lo veo.
06:24No lo vio tanta visión periférica eterna de Messi.
06:27Que en esta no vio que Enzo llegaba libre al espacio.
06:30Y claro, ahí intenta poner la pierna.
06:31Pensando en que era la única manera de medio controlar.
06:33En todo caso, otra buena presión de Argentina.
06:36Que le está obligando a rifar la pelota de Inglaterra.
06:38Y le está ganando además la segunda acción.
06:40Habían dos cruces.
06:42El uno de Alexis McAllister.
06:44El otro de Nicolás Taglefico.
06:45Igual no se olvide Alfonso José que el estilo de Tucher con esta Inglaterra.
06:49Es jugar mucho con el arquero desde la salida.
06:51Dijo que no.
06:53Dijo que no el árbitro.
06:54Que los cruces eran normales.
06:55El varón de Cristian Romero.
06:57Va jugando con Enzo Fernández.
06:59Pelota de Leandro Paredes.
07:01Otra vez con Cristian Romero que la va tocando para Emiliano Martínez.
07:35Elinham.
07:36Passe para o Spence.
07:38Chad Spence deu o tapa cruzamento do Gasteiro.
07:40Martínez gira.
07:42Pé direito do Litchard Martínez.
07:45E Vicky, no sé si a Embaixer tem condições de ver.
07:47Mas aparentemente o Rashford começa a conversar com o Tuchel, né?
07:50Está aquecendo sozinho.
07:52O Tuchel já foi falar com ele especialmente só os dois.
07:54Então acho que já já pode entrar.
07:56É uma opção de um cara experiente, de um atacante.
08:01Pode fazer uma parceria ali.
08:04Que bem, prepare-se.
08:05Terminando a Copa do Mundo, a bola vai seguir rolando com a gente.
08:08Pode falar o Brasileirão.
08:09Com grandes times, com grandes carnes, com grandes histórias, hein?
08:11Se tem um jogo que pode rolar durante a Copa do Mundo, é Botafogo e Santos.
08:15Falou em seleção brasileira?
08:16Botafogo e Santos.
08:17Botafogo e Santos.
08:18É isso.
08:19Amanhã tem.
08:21Lançamento do Kane.
08:22Rodgers em condição legal.
08:23O corte deixa essa bola viva.
08:25Rice deu tapinha.
08:27Morgan Rodgers levantou para o gol.
08:29Gol!
08:35Gol!
08:37Da Inglaterra!
08:42Do sonho inglês, de levar o futebol de volta pra casa.
08:49Desde 1966.
08:51Essa seleção não vai à final.
08:54Não respira tão fortemente.
08:57...de três.
08:59Interessante, mas ainda podem sofrer alguns desses cruzes do deep.
09:08...de três.
09:14...de dois.
09:22...de três.
09:23...do de Mendes nao.
09:25...Ferenzo Fernandes.
09:28DePaul.
09:29DePaul em to a...
09:30Dan Duzelo of an hit the post!
09:32That was McAllister.
09:33And then Alvarez mishit the rebound.
09:39Ultimate trying to reset.
09:41These are the spaces I'm talking about.
09:43When you have the three narrow midfield.
09:46Out it comes for Montiel.
09:47Montiel crossing right in.
09:49McAllister challenging in the air.
09:50Popped in the air instead.
09:51Bellingham gets it away.
09:53Kane all by himself.
09:54But also in a situation of your pick for where you take a chance.
09:58Take it short.
09:59Back for Messi.
10:02Messi on Spence.
10:03Trying to find space for that left foot into the middle.
10:05Ends up Fernandes.
10:08Argentina.
10:09They always find a way.
10:11And they've tied the game.
10:39He was in play.
10:40He was talking to Lionel Scaloni.
10:44You wouldn't imagine it's going to be a ton of stoppage time here outside the three minutes
10:47for the hydration break.
10:49Extra time as it stands in the World Cup semifinal.
10:51Lionel Messi on Nico O'Reilly.
10:54Messi hooks the cross in.
10:55Hesitation from Pickford.
10:57Clearing header by Stones.
10:58Not all the way out.
10:59Oh boy.
11:00Stones is down in the box.
11:01I don't know what happened to Stones there.
11:03It is not.
11:04Ian Gonzalez on Montiel exchange words.
11:07Bellingham now.
11:08Slow to recover behind the play.
11:10Argentina not waiting around.
11:13That it comes.
11:15Nico Gonzalez on Esri Kansa.
11:18Enzo Fernandes the goal scorer.
11:21Gonzalez.
11:23In for Alexis.
11:24McAllister.
11:25Off the post.
11:27Second time today.
11:28And Spence beats Messi to the loose ball.
11:31Still in.
11:31Spence might be hurt.
11:33Messi resets.
11:34Messi driving in.
11:35Messi crossing back.
11:37There it is.
11:38Raltorio Martinez.
11:41Stoppage time.
11:42Go ahead.
11:43Go for Argentina.
11:52It's guesswork for how many minutes precisely are going to be left.
11:55Because we lost a bit for the celebrations in there.
12:00Fingers in two.
12:01Actually it was his twelfth.
12:03He had two on the day.
12:04Yeah.
12:04The one with Fernandes and the strike.
12:08Chased.
12:09It's headed away.
12:10First man there.
12:11Enzo Fernandes to get it clear.
12:14All eyes on American Isabel Elfath.
12:17He looks at his watch again.
12:20England have a throw in.
12:24Do they have the time?
12:26Do they have one more moment?
12:28And it comes to Byrne.
12:30Forced backwards.
12:31Knocked away.
12:32Anderson last man back now.
12:34Battling with Messi for that ball in the air.
12:36Clear back to Jordan Pickford.
12:38Still we play.
12:39Argentina's bench is furious.
12:41Last chance for England.
12:43Here we go.
12:44Pickford into the box.
12:45Martinez tracking.
12:47Can't get it clearly.
12:48It's not free.
12:49The whistle goes.
12:50It's a handball.
12:52It's a free kick for Argentina.
13:05We have seen it all before from Argentina.
13:10And yet they still manage to surprise us.
13:12He scored the winning goal in the Copa America final two years ago.
13:15Latar Martinez.
13:24That once is in play, it'll count as a game-winning goal in the semifinal.
13:29Indeed it is.
13:31Argentina do it again.
13:32And they set it in with Spain Sunday in New Jersey in the World Cup final.
13:40And they set it in with Spain Sunday in New Jersey in the World Cup final.
13:54Marine Caeser Retards for theight of theinc.
13:56Oh I don't want to save!
13:58A game-high game!
14:00In New Jersey in the U.N.
14:04Go!
14:07Go, go, go!
14:09Go!
14:09Go, go!!
14:10Go, go, go!
14:10Go, go!
14:11Go, goüğ 배 accepted!
14:12Go, go, go!
14:15They're staying, go!
14:16Go!
14:21Go and go!
14:22Go, go!
14:23Go to God!
14:45It's in their blood, the passion, the emotion, the intensity, the fight.
14:52It's all they live for, and it's all they live for today, but at the end of the day, it's
15:00that man that decides the biggest games and the biggest moments, and his country has counted
15:05on him.
15:06Argentina 2, England 1.
15:11Thanks to Stu Holden and to John Strong, that is why they are defending world champions.
