Road to the Semifinals

England navigated the group stage unbeaten. In the knockout rounds, Harry Kane scored two late goals against DR Congo in the round of 32. Alongside Jude Bellingham, England edged out Mexico in the round of 16 and then overcame Norway in a tense quarterfinal on July 11 in Miami, a game with some controversy. Now, England aims to win its first World Cup in six decades.

Argentina also advanced through the groups without defeat but faced challenges in the knockout stage. Cape Verde nearly eliminated them in the round of 32, and Egypt pushed Argentina close in the round of 16. After a strong finish against Switzerland in the quarterfinal, Argentina looks to push past England to reach the final.

Historical Rivalry

This will not be their first World Cup meeting. England holds a slight edge historically with three wins in five encounters, including a 1-0 quarterfinal victory in 1966 that helped them clinch their only World Cup title. Argentina has two wins against England in the tournament, notably a 1986 quarterfinal and a dramatic penalty shootout victory after a 2-2 draw in 1998.
