England fans heartbroken after Argentina secures spot in World Cup finals

It's an emotional watch party from what we understand, Chad. It's an emotional watch party. We are here at Duke's Grocery in Washington, D.C. This is a decidedly pro-England bar. This is one who came up filled with hope, with heartbreak. Here's a look at the hundreds of fans who attended at Duke's Watch Party here today, and we're talking about standing room only. The attitudes were simply splendid. The energy was amazing. It was as if this crowd believed they could will the three Lions to a victory. So, with the score tied nil-nil at the half, Fox 5 asked the pumped-up crowd how they were feeling. I'm actually feeling really great, controlled, and I think Argentina's just trying to win by being pushing and shoving about, but I think long-term that will pay off. It's cagey. It's really cagey. I mean, the calls have been going for Argentina the whole tournament. Still nothing each. Still nil-nil. But go on, England! Go on, England! Come on! Let's go, England, indeed. And in the 55th minute, this electric crowd got exactly what they were looking for. Anthony Gordon's goal put the three Lions up one to nil, and Duke's Grocery started dreaming of the World Cup final crowd they might see on Sunday. But not so fast, my friend. With under 10 minutes in regulation, Lionel Messi assisted on the equalizer. Then two minutes into extra time, another Messi assist set up the game-winner. Sad faces from England fans who are left wondering what could have been. I've watched the Argentina-Switzerland game before, though, so I know they had, like, a thing for the end, like, they get really strong in the end. So I was worried about that, but I had hope in my heart that England would be able to hold them off. Yeah, I mean, you have control of the game for some amount of time, and then you get one goal up, and then you just sit there and defend the whole time. It's not going to work. So I came deliberately to an English-British bar, but at the end of the day, who won? England didn't, so. From one of the most lit watch parties that we have experienced through all of World Cup to Heartbreak Hotel, but that is the beauty of FIFA World Cup. So the match is set. We will see this Argentina team taking on Spain in the World Cup final. That, of course, coming down on Sunday, right here on Fox 5. We'll be right back as FIFA on Fox 5 rolls on. And our Gwen Talbert is live at a popular World Cup watch party spot all the way over in McLean, Virginia. Hey, Gwen. Hi. I am at Shipgarten Tysons, and I want to tell you, the fans were out here in full force. Some of them are still kind of hanging around a little bit, but they were cheering for both teams. Now, some left disappointed because, you know, England didn't quite get there, but others, well, they were still nonstop. With me now is Matt. Matt is the owner here. Matt, tell me, how was the crowd today? How was the feeling? The energy here was insane. I mean, everybody was cheering. We had England fans. We had Argentinian fans. Everybody was going wild. This weekend is even going to be crazier. We got the Saturday watch party. We got the third place Saturday watch party, the first place, second place watch party on Sunday. I mean, it's going to be bananas. And how many people would you say were here today? There was at least 500, 600 people here. It was great. And 3 p.m. game was very, very crowded. Now, I know your son, Darius, he's my buddy from last time, is a big fan. How thrilled were you about the game today, Darius? I was really thrilled. I didn't think Argentina would make that comeback today. Okay. So, who's the Argentina fans in the house here? Over here. Oh, Argentina. So, what did you think about the game? It was amazing. And we were able to watch the whole game. There are so many screens, so many places to watch. All right. And what was your thought about the team pulling through like they did? Man, I thought it was amazing. And I'm happy to see them on Sunday. We're going to go all out. All right. Now, we do have some fans that were cheering for England. A little disappointed today. Tell me what your thoughts are about your team today. Yeah, I was just really sad and disappointed in it all. I feel like she has more to say about that. I mean, of course, we gained the momentum in the second half with the goal. But then as soon as the goal was scored, Tupac decided to park the bus. And then also sub off Gordon. You know, you think you would learn after Egypt and Cape Verde that you shouldn't park the bus in Argentina. But he subbed off Gordon, and then that's when you could tell that England wasn't really going to make it. And are you going to wait for the next game? Who are you going to cheer for? Spain. Spain? Yeah. All right. So, Argentina held their own up here today, right? And, you know, are you guys going to be in full force for Argentina going forward? Yes. Yes? Absolutely, absolutely. So, what do you think about the matches coming up, Darius? I mean, you're pretty good at predicting things. You know, Spain's going to be stepping up. What do you think? I think Spain is probably going to win. Oh, you think so? Yeah. All right, Darius is saying Spain. Who's rooting for Spain here? Oh, Darius. The fan base is a little divided here. So, Matt, I mean, when the next game comes up, tell us what people can expect when they come here. I mean, we have multiple screens. We have drinks. We have food. We have a large crowd. We have a watch party. We have DJs. We have after party, pregame party. You can expect some mayhem. All right. And guess what? The parking is free. Park in the parking lot, and they'll shuttle you right up here to where all the fun is. And look at them. They're still enjoying it. Let's give a big hi to Fox 5. Yeah, Fox 5! All right, there you go. Back to you guys. Yeah, love a little FIFA after party. Definitely. It was a good time.
