Argentina Advanced To The World Cup Final

The Argentines staged a comeback in their match against England.

The Argentine national team defeated England in the semifinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The match took place in Atlanta, Georgia, and ended with a score of 2–1. In the 55th minute, England midfielder Anthony Gordon opened the scoring. In the 85th minute, Enzo Fernández tied the game after a pass from Lionel Messi. In the 92nd minute, Messi recorded his second assist—to Lautaro Martínez. Notably, neither team managed a single shot on goal in the first half-hour of the match, setting an anti-record for World Cups.

Argentina forward Lionel Messi became the oldest outfield player to appear in a World Cup semifinal—he took the field at the age of 39 years and 21 days. Striker Harry Kane set a new record for the England national soccer team for the most matches played by a field player—121.

Argentina will face Spain in the 2026 World Cup final. The three-time world champions, the Argentine national team, could become the first team to defend their title since Brazil in 1962. The “Albiceleste” have won all six of their World Cup semifinal matches.

England will play France for third place. The English national team has reached the semifinals for the second time in the last three World Cups—the last time, they lost to Croatia 1–2 in extra time at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. England has played in the World Cup final only once and won it—in 1966.
