The second semifinal is coming!
England vs Argentina
The much-anticipated England–Argentina showdown really dials up the rivalry to the max—enemy hatred at full blast!
From Maradona’s Hand of God to Beckham’s red card, and now Kane vs. Messi—these 60 years of grudges and entanglements will be settled in a do-or-die battle this early morning.
First, let’s talk about Argentina
Argentina is still using the same approach: Messi drops back to organize and launches quick counters. Even at 39 years old, the King of Football still has his pass-and-vision and footwork at a god-tier level. A single through ball can set Álvarez or Lautaro up one-on-one. Argentina is especially rich in big-match experience. At this World Cup, even though things have been a bit bumpy, they’ve managed to turn danger into safety every time—against France and Egypt they showed tremendous resilience. But Argentina also has a serious problem: they have too many aging veterans, their flanks are weak, and in these knockout games they’ve looked particularly laborious. Stamina is an issue.
Now, England
England has fully renewed this campaign with youth. Since Coach Tui has taken charge, the requirement has been for the whole team to improve fitness and physical duels. In these games, Bellingham has been on fire—Saka’s break-ins, Kane’s ability to lose his marker and his finishing are all at a supernatural level. If England presses high, forces turnovers, and keeps the pressure on in the attacking third, it can leave Argentina’s midfield gasping.
Also, this match is really about the midfield. Everyone saw yesterday’s games too: France vs. Spain was all about midfield control—whoever controls the middle wins the match. I think England’s midfield double core—Bellingham and Rice—should be able to take control of the game.
Match prediction
England holds the advantage in stamina, impact, and squad depth. Argentina relies on Messi’s individual brilliance and their big-game experience—so in regular time, England is more likely to win.
Also, you should have noticed this one:
Let’s say the score is 2:1.
