La FIFA estudia duplicar el descanso de la final del Mundial para dar cabida a un espectáculo musical más largo

Este es el Mundial de EE UU y ellos imponen sus normas, desde las pausas de hidratación al halftime show.

Look, most people were awfully good about it. Our waiter at a restaurant near Plaza de Mayo shook our hands warmly and said nice things about Jude Bellingham. On the metro ride back from the fan zone there was no massive gloating either, just bright-eyed kids in Lionel Messi shirts swept along by the nationwide euphoria. “Vamos, vamos, Argentina,” they sang, barely able to believe their team were once again in a World Cup final.

To be a stray English bystander in a city totally awash in sky blue and white was a rare privilege. Some of us covering England’s rugby union tour have been lucky enough to visit a few memorable sporting cauldrons, but to be in Buenos Aires after Argentina defeated England at a football World Cup is right up there.

Argentina Celebrates Semi-Final Win Against England
