One of the greatest rivalries in modern international soccer will be revived on Wednesday when England looks to oust Lionel Messi’s Argentina from the World Cup 2026. Only the true elite of the sport remain in contention for the global prize as Messi’s run at back-to-back World Cup wins undergoes a serious penultimate test.
Both teams weathered major trials in the quarterfinals as England and Argentina made it through extra-time adversity to beat Norway and Switzerland, respectively. A Jude Bellingham brace earned the Three Lions a 2-1 win against Erling Haaland & Co, while Argentina advanced after beating Switzerland 3-1 at the end of the 120 minutes.

That latter result marked the first time Messi has failed to score at this tournament, though he still holds a joint-share of the lead on eight goals thus far (level with France’s Kylian Mbappe). Bellingham and Harry Kane, meanwhile, each sit on six goals apiece and are very much in the Golden Boot conversation with two games (at most) left to play.
Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarell Quansah is still suspended for England, having missed the quarterfinal win over Norway, and will only appear again this summer if Thomas Tuchel’s side makes the final. Argentina, meanwhile, is blessed in the fitness department and has no fresh concerns as Lionel Scaloni could name an identical XI to the one that started against Switzerland.
