How was the stadium full of England fans with only a few days notice?

I'm just curious because I know nothing about how you get world cup tickets. I'm wondering, because we only found out a few days ago that we'd be in the semi final but everyone in the audience had an England shirt or Argentina shirt on. Is it:

  • they weren't necessarily England or Argentina fans but everyone just picks a side and buys a shirt
  • you get your tickets and travel last minute
  • you get tickets in advance for the semis and it's just luck that it happens to end up being an England game (but then wouldn't the audience be a random mix of nationalities)?
  • you get tickets to be in the host country during these couple of weeks and then if there's an England game you buy a ticket
  • something else?

I live in one of the host cities. All my friends who went to games picked a team and bought a shirt for every game they saw.
