England vs Argentina Preview
These two heavyweights will renew their rivalry with Spain ready and waiting on Sunday.
England are looking to reach only the second World Cup final in their history – and their first since winning the competition in 1966.
It hasn’t been a simple route to the latter stages for Thomas Tuchel’s side, who edged past DR Congo, Mexico and Norway in the knockouts, largely due to Jude Bellingham’s individual heroics.
Argentina, meanwhile, have been inspired by the brilliance of Lionel Messi, who has scored eight goals in the tournament. They needed extra time in their last-32 and quarter-final ties against Cape Verde and Switzerland, respectively, and also required a stunning comeback – inspired by Messi – from two goals down to see off Egypt in the round of 16.
This will be the first showdown between England and Argentina in 21 years.
