Watch England vs Argentina live streams as the 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-finals conclude at Atlanta Stadium.
The long-awaited new chapter in this legendary World Cup rivalry gives Lionel Messi a chance to have another of those Maradona moments. Since the last time La Albiceleste met England was in 2005, he's never faced the Three Lions before.
To say that each side has taken a topsy-turvy route to the last four would be a colossal understatement. They've each enjoyed the rub of the green, ridden their luck and had fortune smiling down on them — though it certainly doesn't hurt that Messi and Jude Bellingham are contenders for both the Golden Boot and Golden Ball.
