Atlanta was painted light blue and white with a massive flag-waving event ahead of the semifinal

The city of Atlanta is already buzzing with Argentine football. In the lead-up to the World Cup semifinal between the National Team and England, thousands of fans took to the streets to participate in a rally that filled everything with sky blue and white.

The match, which will determine one of the finalists, has fans more excited than ever. The passion overflowed in Underground Atlanta, where the main meeting point was set up.

After France's elimination, those present held an ironic minute of silence and then immediately began singing against the rival. The classic “if you’re not jumping, you’re an Englishman” rang out loudly, accompanied by other songs that enlivened the atmosphere.

This rally stood out as the most attended since the start of the World Cup, only surpassed by the one held in Miami.

Among the waving flags, several appeared with references to the Falkland Islands. Although FIFA prohibits the entry of political elements into the stadium, fans did not hesitate to express their feelings.

The fever for the match is also evident in the search for tickets. In the resale market, prices reached around 3,000 dollars for the most accessible locations, reflecting the enormous interest generated by this clash.

Fans are living these days with a lot of excitement. The Albiceleste dreams of reaching the final, and fans spare no effort to support from wherever they can.

In the streets of Atlanta, the atmosphere is unmatched, with chants that never stop and a sea of flags moving to the rhythm of every shout.
