On one side of the draw‚ France and Spain‚ the stylists and the matadors‚ most people's pick for the best two teams of the tournament so far. In the other semi-final‚ two more sides who many see as mirrors of each other‚ two sides whose progress to the last four has been more about struggle than style. Thomas Tuchel talked candidly about England's search for their best form after the gritty victory over Norway in Miami on Saturday and‚ beyond all the freighted emotional and political baggage that will come with their clash in Atlanta on Wednesday‚ Argentina are enduring similar labours. They are led by the ageless wonder that is Lionel Messi‚ the joint top scorer in the tournament and the leading scorer in World Cup history‚ and that always has to be the starting point of any analysis of England's opponents.
MARK CLATTENBURG: England had scored their equaliser. The English fans at Miami Gardens were going crazy‚ celebrating Jude Bellingham's brilliant goal. But then I noticed Norway's goalkeeper Orjan Nyland was complaining to the referee‚ Clement Turpin of France. Then the half-time whistle was blown. Then the Norwegian bench was going wild with the fourth official‚ Alejandro Hernandez of Spain. Norway's manager Stale Solbakken was definitely not happy. FOX‚ who I am working for as a rules analyst at this World Cup‚ allowed me and the team to review why they were so upset. Then we saw it. That video clip. You've probably seen it on social media‚ too. The angle that shows the ball suddenly drop from the air. Hardly anyone knows the laws.

But the Real Madrid talisman‚ who now has six goals for the tournament‚ appeared to dismiss his head coach's comments‚ declaring simply 'whatever' before hailing England's ability to 'win dirty'.

But tropical storms and extreme heat are already threatening to hamper the start time‚ and with the potential for extra-time and penalties‚ fans could be in store for another long‚ nail-biting night. It has led some to fear they would have to quickly down their pints and rush home to watch the conclusion of the match. But the Government has now confirmed pubs can stay open in England and Wales until 30 minutes after the final whistle is blown‚ even if the start of the game is delayed.

SCOTLAND 0-3 BRAZIL - RIATH AL-SAMARRAI AT MIAMI STADIUM: If Steve Clarke's worst fear was a drubbing‚ then he ought to avoid seeking anything positive from the fact Scotland suffered a mere 3-0 defeat in Miami. That Brazil didn't score more is something akin to a World Cup miracle. They battered Scotland‚ dragging them from pillar to post in a tie that often looked an utter mismatch and concluded with Clarke sweating profusely over progression to the knockout stages. But he will know how much worse it might have been‚ with two strikes from Vinicius Jr and a third by Matheus Cunha the very least that Brazil deserved on the night.
