Emily Compagno leads a discussion on a new survey revealing surprisingly high confidence among Americans regarding soccer skills. The survey indicates one in four Americans believe they could score a World Cup penalty kick against a professional goalie. Furthermore, 26% of workers admitted to skipping work for World Cup matches, with 4% watching all games, underscoring the tournament’s immense impact on viewers this summer.

It’s the Three Lions against the reigning champions in this epic World Cup semifinal matchup in Atlanta on Wednesday.

England, led by Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, made it through the quarterfinals after defeating Erling Haaland and Norway over the weekend.

For Messi, it was 2022 where many believed he would be done with the World Cup, especially after finally adding that victory to his illustrious resume. But he’s back in 2026 and a Golden Boot Award frontrunner, scoring eight goals in six matches, though he wasn’t among the three in the quarterfinal match against Switzerland.

There was an option at the very end of the game as a consolation goal, but it was Lautaro Martínez scoring that. But Julián Alvarez’s gorgeous strike in the 112th minute of extra time sealed victory for Argentina , which was playing with a man advantage after Breel Embolo got a red card in the 72nd minute.
