After beating Croatia in their first group match, they were held to a draw by Ghana, but they still comfortably topped the group by beating Panama to advance.

Argentina qualified comfortably from the South American zone as group leaders, collecting 38 points from 18 matches and finishing 9 points clear of second-place Ecuador.
In the quarterfinals, Argentina defeated a 10-man Switzerland 3-1 in extra time. McAllister, Álvarez, and Lautaro found the net. In the Round of 16, Argentina beat Egypt 3-2. Romero, Messi, and Enzo each scored three late goals at the very end to secure the win. In the Round of 16, Argentina eliminated the dark horse Cape Verde 3-2 in extra time. With the score level 1-1 in regular time, they scored 2 goals in extra time to take the match only with great difficulty.
Argentina’s king of football, Messi, attended the semi-final as the World Cup all-time leading scorer and assists leader. So far at the World Cup, he has contributed 21 goals and 10 assists. Notably, these 10 assists were made to 10 different teammates, fully reflecting his excellent vision, passing ability, and the value of his attacking build-up. Although Messi was unable to extend his earlier record of scoring in five straight matches in the quarterfinal against Switzerland, he still delivered a crucial assist for teammate McAllister to open the scoring, remaining an irreplaceable factor in Argentina’s front-field system.
However, it’s worth noting that Argentina’s qualification process in the World Cup knockout stage has been highly demanding. They barely survived extra time against Cape Verde in their opener, then completed a turnaround versus Egypt. In the quarterfinal against Switzerland, the match was again dragged into extra time, and they ultimately won 3-1. Three consecutive high-intensity clashes not only made the team experience ups and downs mentally, but also came at a considerable cost in terms of physical reserves.
The difference in strength between both sides is not significant, and neither team had previous head-to-head meetings.
This time, we must support England to win!
Eliminate Argentina!
