Sky News halted for huge World Cup announcement ahead of England clash

Sky News presenter Jacquie Belatro cut into the regular broadcast to bring viewers a huge update on the England football team who will face Argentina in the crunch World Cup semi-final. Broadcasting from outside Atlanta Stadium where they will take to the pitch for the 8pm kick off on Wednesday, July 15, she announced the team taking to the pitch.

"Three changes, perhaps a couple of surprises in there," she said. "This is how the England website announced it: Pickford, Rice, Jones, Guehi, Anderson, Kane, Bellingham, Rogers, Gordon, James, and Djed Spence. So...Djed Spence, Morgan Rogers, who played in the last match, came on in the last match, played really well, and Reece James, who has been injured, they have been nursing him back to fitness. He comes in, so clearly fit for this one. And some questions as well over Declan Rice. In the last match, he looked absolutely exhausted. He...came off at halftime, and he'd been struggling with a sickness bug, but clearly all is fine now as far as [he] is concerned," she observed.

She continued, issuing a warning about England's chances. "Remember that Argentina are really good at these matches. They have been in five World Cup semi-finals, and it's five for five. They have won all of them.

"England, not so much. They've been in four. This is the fourth, and they have won through to a final in only one, and we know when that was. It was in '66," she said.

"It has been a bit of a struggle at times for England this World Cup. It's been a bit of a struggle actually for Argentina at times this World Cup.

"The bookies have England as very slight favourites because of those struggles that Argentina have had, particularly in their knockout matches, and the resilience I guess that England have shown coming from behind twice in their last three matches, and just showing that grit to get over the line.

"So that's what the fans are hoping for today: more of that grit, and preferably not having to come from behind and getting a comfortable lead in the first half.

"Bellingham, of course, will want that golden boot," she speculated referring to the prize awarded to the player who scores the most goals in the competition.

"At the moment, out in front, it is Messi. Kylian Mbappe is on eight. And he [Bellingham] is on six goals at this World Cup. As is Harry Kane."
