It’s the deep breath before the plunge. The little leg shake before the starting gun is fired. The sense of anticipation as you notice your waiter carrying a plate of food that looks like your order.
You know what I’m saying? Of course you do! It’s the World Cup semi-finals!
For the first time in the tournament’s history the world’s top four ranked teams have made it to the penultimate round. And few can argue that France, Spain, England and Argentina deserve to be here (though I’d love to know if you think otherwise).
Tonight at 8pm BST, 2pm in Dallas, it’s the freewheeling French against the methodical Spanish.
We’ll build up to that as well as check in on how England and Argentina are getting on, look at some more Fifa shenanigans and sweep across any club transfer news that filters our way.
As always, send in your thoughts or questions. All are welcome.
