🏟️⚽"The World Cup Just Delivered A Semifinal Nobody Thought Was Possible, And Two Dream Finals Are On Deck"
"...but for the first time in World Cup history, the final four teams are also the top four in FIFA's rankings. Seriously, since 1930, we've never seen anything like it. They even expanded the field to 48 teams to shake things up, but here we are, watching pure chalk! No. 1 France is set to clash with No. 3 Spain in Dallas on Tuesday, and then No. 2 Argentina faces No. 4 England in Atlanta on Wednesday. It's a bracket that promises a dream final no matter who wins."

Messi looks like John Muller, son of former GRCH teacher "Argentina committed more fouls than nearly every team left in the World Cup, yet somehow picked up the fewest cards"
Messi looks like John Muller , son of former GRCH teacher "Argentina committed more fouls than nearly every team left in the World Cup, yet somehow picked up the fewest cards"
John Muller actually attended South Christian but his dad taught at GRCH. If I recall correctly John Muller was the punter for South Christian high School football team around 1984 and went on to Calvin College.
Well I've been watching the World cup periodically including Argentina every time I see Messi I think "what's John Muller doing out there " 😄😁😆

Referee Pinheiro, after reviewing the incident, returned to the pitch and confirmed Paredes had not committed a foul but that it was a clear act of simulation by Embolo.
The official then cautioned Embolo for the offence, before brandishing a red card with the forward having already been booked in the first half..."

"World Cup 2026: Norway v England buildup, Kane’s round of golf with Trump, Spain set up France semi-final – live
https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2026/jul/11/world-cup-2026-spain-v-belgium-reaction-norway-v-england-quarter-final-buildup-and-more-live
⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽
The action starts tonight with the much-awaited showdown between Harry Kane’s England and Erling Haaland’s Norway in Miami before holders Argentina take on Switzerland in Kansas City. Build-up to those games and reaction to last night’s victory for Spain over Belgium starts right here. It’s fair to say...
**** ⛳🏌️🏌️🏌️♀️🏌️♂️⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳
“I played all right, to be honest,” Kane told reporters in Miami. “He invited me to play when I was down in Palm Beach. So yeah, when the president invites you somewhere...
“It was a pretty surreal experience just to meet him and obviously play golf with him. His golf is pretty good, to be honest,” Kane added. “I hope I can play as well as him when I’m his age. So yeah, unique experience and I was just grateful he invited me down to play.“

⚽🏟️Today's World Cup quarterfinal is a big one:• Spain🇪🇸 vs. Belgium🇧🇪
Today's World Cup quarterfinal is a big one:
• Spain 🇪🇸 vs. Belgium 🇧🇪
The winner advances to face France in the semifinal after France defeated Morocco 2-0 yesterday.
Here's some of the drama to watch:
Spain has been nearly unbeatable defensively. They have not conceded a single goal in the tournament, making them the toughest defense left in the World Cup.
Belgium is coming in with confidence after a dominant 4-1 victory over the United States, proving they can score against strong opponents.
It's a clash of styles: Spain prefers controlling possession and patiently creating chances, while Belgium is dangerous on quick counterattacks led by its experienced stars.
Key players to watch:
Spain: Lamine Yamal — the teenage sensation whose dribbling and creativity can change a game.
Spain: Rodri — the midfield anchor who controls the tempo.
Spain: Mikel Oyarzabal — Spain's leading scorer in the tournament.
Belgium: Kevin De Bruyne — one of the world's best playmakers, back in the lineup.
Belgium: Romelu Lukaku — a powerful striker who has been scoring important goals.
Belgium: Thibaut Courtois — an elite goalkeeper who may have to keep Belgium alive if Spain dominates possession.
The biggest question is simple: Can Belgium become the first team to score on Spain in this World Cup, or will Spain's defense continue its incredible run?
