England fans face noisy reactiom from Argentina fans as they arrive for World Cup semi final in Atlanta

[David Brown @DavidhBrown]

England fans queuing outside the Irish exit pub near Atlanta stadium four hours before kick off in semi-final against Argentina. Argentina fans vastly outnumber the England supporters around the stadium

Within minutes of the Viking Row, Norway score. The Vikings sing "It's going home, it's going home. England's going home."

[David Brown @DavidhBrown]

The Norway fans have performed their first "Viking Row" of the match and it looks spectacular. Modelled on Iceland's "Viking Thunderclap", which England witnessed while being knocked out of 2016 European Championships. Surely football fans are not superstitious.

Lots of supporters from both England and Norway making the hydration break "beer run" at the Hard Rock. There is a nice breeze in the stadium but temperature sill 88C (31F) and feeling hotter with humidity. The idea the game may be delayed by the heat was ridiculous.

[David Brown @DavidhBrown]

Hard to tell how many fans supporting which side at Hard Rock stadium. England playing in white but some fans are wearing the red away top. Norway playing in red but some fans wearing the white away top. From noise of the singing, more Three Lions than Vikings.

[David Brown @DavidhBrown]

Ellie Goulding's microphone was not working at the start of her performance before kick-off between England and Norway, but is now belting out her tunes. David Beckham watching in Hard Rock stadium.

Norway's Vikings massively outnumber England's Three Lions in Miami Beach five hours before quarter-final kick off. Typical England fan aged under 28 or over 55. Norway fans typically aged between those ranges.

[David Brown @DavidhBrown]

The thunder and lightning has just hit Miami Beach but not forecast for game time in England v Norway.

[David Brown @DavidhBrown]

Almost 100F (38C) now I'm Miami Beach but with humidity feels hotter. Forecast of thunder later but just drizzle at match time tomorror for England v Norway.
