Seattle leaders rate city performance during World Cup
The president of the Downtown Seattle Association gave his overall grade on Mayor Katie Wilson's performance so far, and Seattle's success on the global stage during the World Cup matches.
The World Cup is down to four, France, Spain, England and Argentina, all standing in each other's way for the title of World Champion.
Which teams are in the World Cup semifinals?
What we know:
The first matchup features France vs. Spain at Dallas Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The backstory:
France enters the match unbeaten and explosive on offense, having scored 16 goals through six matches. Spain has been steadier than spectacular, leaning on late winners and a tournament-best defense that has allowed only one goal so far. With the sides ranked No. 1 and No. 3 in the world, the match sets up a highly anticipated battle between the tournament's best offense and its best defense.
The France vs. Spain match will be at noon PT.
The second match, set for Wednesday, is England vs Argentina at Atlanta Stadium in Atlanta.
The backstory:
Argentina enters Wednesday's match having survived three straight close finishes, including extra-time wins over Cape Verde and Switzerland, alongside a stoppage-time comeback against Egypt. England is riding midfielder Jude Bellingham's breakout run as the team looks to end a championship drought dating back to 1966. With Argentina chasing its second consecutive World Cup title and England hunting its first in 60 years, one of the nations is about to make history.
