Watch England vs Argentina live streams
Lionel Messi will face England for the first time in his career when reigning champions Argentina take on their old rivals in the FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-finals in Atlanta.
The Albiceleste skipper is the tournament's joint top-goalscorer with eight goals, although he didn't find the net in the 3-1 extra-time win over Switzerland in the quarter-finals. Messi will be key to Argentina's hopes of moving one step closer to becoming the first team to retain the World Cup since Brazil in 1962.
Jude Bellingham was England's hero in the quarter-finals against Norway, as the Real Madrid midfielder struck twice in a 2-1 extra-time triumph. This is just the fourth time the Three Lions have reached the World Cup semi-finals, while their only appearance in the final was when they won the trophy back in 1966.
