England vs Argentina World Cup Semi-Final Showdown

England and Argentina renew their bitter World Cup rivalry in Atlanta on Wednesday evening, with a place in the final against Spain at stake.

The match has been designated the tournament's highest-risk fixture by the FBI, with extraordinary security measures in place amid Falklands-fuelled tensions.

Thomas Tuchel cleared the air with Jude Bellingham after an 'unfair' interview question sparked media speculation of a feud, while Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni said it would be 'wrong' to make the clash about the Falklands.

Lionel Messi, at 39, is set to face England for the first time in his career, with pundits divided on the outcome as both nations carry the weight of decades of iconic World Cup encounters.
