Head-to-head
England will meet Argentina for the first time in 21 years when they go head-to-head in the FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-finals in Atlanta.
Wednesday’s meeting will be the latest installment of the England-Argentina rivalry at the World Cup, with the two nations having clashed five times on the world stage previously.
They met in 1962, 1966, 1986, 1998 and 2002, with England coming out on top in their last meeting in Japan thanks to David Beckham’s penalty.
Argentina are the reigning World Champions having triumphed in Qatar four years ago, which was their third World Cup triumph and first in 36 years.
England have played 14 times since their first meeting back in 1951, with the Three Lions winning on six occasions, drawing five and losing three (once on penalties).
