Match Preview

England have battled their way into a fourth major semi-final since 2018 and arrive on a four-game winning run, but defensive issues have remained a concern throughout the tournament.

Argentina have needed resilience of their own to reach this stage, coming through dramatic knockout ties against Cape Verde, Egypt and Switzerland while extending their winning run to 13 matches.

Lionel Messi has already reached double figures for goal contributions at a second straight World Cup, and Argentina’s ability to score freely makes them a serious test for Thomas Tuchel’s side.

England have enough attacking quality through Kane and Bellingham to make this close, but Argentina’s tournament know-how and greater balance may give them the edge.
