The Three Lions will face France for third place.
Argentina overcame a deficit to defeat England and go to the FIFA World Cup 2026 final.
Ten minutes into the second half, Anthony Gordon opened the scoring by guiding a cross from Morgan Rogers home. All by getting in front of Nahuel Molina at the back post.
Later, Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández equalised with a spectacular long-range shot. Lautaro Martínez headed in a cross from Lionel Messi to complete the comeback. Argentina advance to their second consecutive World Cup final.
This squad, which no one knows when they will be defeated, has once again pulled off an incredible comeback. They won this thrilling semifinal at the very end.
Lionel Messi and company appeared to be without ideas for a considerable amount of the game. But Lionel Scaloni’s substitutes have turned it around in the most spectacular way.
In this building, Enzo Fernández saves Argentina once again just when everything seems hopeless. Argentina had been poking England’s defence since Anthony Gordon’s first goal. Fernández was the one who scored both the equaliser against England and the winner against Egypt.
