Why wouldn’t TPTB want England?

And I must say, I was Anti-England at the start of the tournament, but they’ve won me over.

For the final four all have won the World Cup before. Argentina with 3, France with 2 and England and Spain with 1 each.

They’ve pushed so hard for VARgentina, that it almost makes me think they want a repeat win for them.

The three official languages of the host countries are : English, French and Spanish.

Which also happen to be the official languages of the four remaining teams.

And we went through all these games just to get the Top-Four ranked teams in the semifinals.

It was an enjoyable game. I kept pulling for France to at least score. That didn’t happen. Spain played a great game!

Hoping tomorrow’s game is great. I can’t stand Argentina, but that is what FIFA wants…Politics aside, I want England to win….i saw the game where the last time they played in World Cup, Argentina won because of Maradona’s hand ball into the goal.

I’m pulling for England, too. Don’t tell my son-in-law. His grandma was from Argentina and he still has family there.
