Atlanta painted sky blue and white: stunning send-off before semi-final | OneFootball

The buildup to the semifinal between Argentina and England is already being played out in the streets of Atlanta. Thousands of Albiceleste fans took part in the traditional flag-waving rally, adding color to the lead-up to the clash that will decide one of the World Cup finalists.

After Les Bleus were eliminated, there was an ironic minute of silence, and they quickly shifted their focus to England with the classic chant: “Whoever doesn’t jump is English”, along with other songs.

The rally, held at Underground Atlanta, was the biggest turnout since the start of the World Cup, not counting the Miami rally. Among the thousands of fans, there were also numerous flags referencing the Falkland Islands, although FIFA still bans bringing any flag or item with political content into the stadium.

Just hours before the match, the excitement is also reflected in ticket demand. Resale prices reached figures close to $3,000 for the cheapest seats.
