England Lineup vs Argentina Explained: Three Changes Made for FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final

Tuchel has made a few changes to the starting lineup.

In tonight’s World Cup 2026 semi-final match between England and Argentina, Thomas Tuchel made a crucial decision by starting Morgan Rogers.

In an attempt to make it to their first World Cup final since 1966, the Three Lions will play Lionel Messi and company in Atlanta today.

The starting lineups for the World Cup 2026 semifinal between Argentina and England at Atlanta Stadium have been revealed.

Djed Spence takes Nico O’Reilly’s position on the left-back, while Reece James returns at right-back. Noni Madueke gets benched, while Morgan Rogers is the unexpected pick on the right wing.

Explained why England made changes in the starting lineup

Rogers replaces Noni Madueke on the right flank, James replaces Ezri Konsa at right back, and Spence replaces Nico O’Reilly at left back.

Rogers, who played against Panama, is making his second start of the competition. Due to Saka and Madueke’s frequent substitutions, England’s right wing has been a problem during this World Cup.

Madueke has failed to impress Tuchel in the matches he has started, while Saka has not been fully fit to start every game.

However, this time, Tuchel has taken a bold step and decided to employ Rogers on the right wing.

Thomas Tuchel will benefit greatly from James’ comeback. He started their first two tournament games, but he was unable to play against Panama, the DR Congo, and Mexico due to a hamstring injury.

For the first time since the Ghana game, Spence is back at the left-back position. He performed better than O’Reilly, making a striking impression off the bench against Norway the last time out.
