Dallas Stadium prepares for France vs Spain World Cup semifinal

sportsJul 13, 202616264

The provided articles do not report that a Dallas stadium is preparing for the France v Spain World Cup semifinal. Instead, recent coverage ahead of the semifinals highlights three concrete developments: former Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy was criticised for a xenophobic opinion piece about the French team on El Debate; UK pubs expect a sales boost for England’s semi-final with Argentina, with Lisa Mayall of the British Oak in Kingswinford saying takings could treble and UK Hospitality reporting 5.5 million extra pints sold during the group stage and overall sales up 10 percent; and reporting on ticket prices noted that high costs have left some stadium seats vacant despite big-name draws. These pieces focus on political backlash, hospitality-sector impacts, and attendance concerns rather than on preparations at any specific US venue.

Just when you think the World Cup semifinals can't get any better, with the top four ranked teams all involved, FIFA announce that Salvadoran Ivan Barton will referee France v Spain.

OTD in 1930, the first FIFA World Cup began in Uruguay. In this article from the archives, Richard Mills explores how football fixtures created meaningful ties between Yugoslavia and its African and Asian allies.

Maybe, the 2026 World Cup’s most important lesson will have less to do with football than with showing that national identity is not as fixed or straightforward as many nationalists imagine, Mohamad Elmasry writes. #Worldcup #diaspora #migration

Anyway, FIFA expanded the World Cup format and ended up with the expected four teams anyway

France are playing Spain tomorrow on Bastille Day. Ffs. I had wanted to indulge in some early dinner involving French food with friends but just looked & the restaurant I had in mind are showing the football so it's going to be packed. Balls. Or les balles. Possibly even les couilles.

I've been out many a time on Bastille Day in London & they have tended to get messy. I remember one of my French exes having to hold my hair as I spewed into a bin in South Kensington many years ago. It wasn't big or clever. I just drank too much & had been spun around loads by French people 😭

Broke: Argentina - England is a Falklands War derby. Woke: the semi finalists were seeded and it’s corrupt. Bespoke: Spain and Argentina are Atlantic powers whereas England and France sit between the Atlantic to the west and the North Sea to the east.

This World Cup has been very encouraging to me as a U.S.A. citizen during the most DISCOURAGING FUCKING YEARS I've experienced as someone who cares about my homeland. Thank you for all the visitors who came here to represent! I love all of you! Hope you didn't get harassed by our police state.
