About This Match
England face Argentina in the Semi-final on Wednesday, July 15, 2026. England are ranked #4 in the world and managed by Thomas Tuchel; Argentina sit at #1 under Lionel Scaloni. The match kicks off at 15:00 local time at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
England
England arrive at the 2026 FIFA World Cup under German coach Thomas Tuchel with a genuine belief that 60 years of hurt can finally end. The Three Lions boast arguably their strongest squad since 1966, led by Real Madrid's extraordinary Jude Bellingham - already one of the world's best players at just 22 - alongside the brilliance of Bukayo Saka, Harry Kane's prolific goal-scoring, and Phil Foden's creative genius. Group L with Croatia, Panama, and Ghana is a group England should win comfortably, setting up what could be a historic knockout run. After heartbreaking semi-final exits at 2018 and Euro 2020, and another final defeat at Euro 2024, the belief - and the talent - are finally aligned for England to go all the way.
Read England preview →Argentina
Argentina arrive at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as defending champions, looking to emulate Brazil's 1958-62 back-to-back victories. Lionel Messi, who finally completed his World Cup fairy-tale at Qatar 2022, will be 38 years old and playing in what is almost certainly his last World Cup - a once-in-a-generation farewell that will captivate the footballing world. Under the exceptionally tactically intelligent Lionel Scaloni, La Albiceleste blend Messi's genius with the predatory instincts of Inter Milan's Lautaro Martínez and the emergence of Julián Álvarez. Group J against Austria, Algeria, and Jordan is a very favourable draw for the world champions, who will rightly be installed as one of the two or three leading title contenders.
