WITH ONE FINALIST now confirmed, tonight the attention turns to Atlanta where England meet Argentina in the second semi-final at the 2026 World Cup.
It’s a fixture loaded with history, but one which hasn’t been played since a friendly meeting in 2005, where Michael Owen’s late brace helped his side to a 3-2 win.
Remarkably, tonight’s game sees Lionel Messi take on England for the first time. Will the great man deliver more heroics to keep Argentina’s dream of back-to-back World Cup titles alive? Or will Jude Bellingham inspire England to a first final since 1966?
Kick-off in Atlanta is at 8pm Irish time.
