Watch Full Match Highlights

The England football team has been unbeaten in the tournament. They faced-off the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the knock-out and Mexico, and Norway in the knock-out to reach the semi-finals.

Skipper Harry Kane is England’s leading international goal scorer of all time and talismanic midfielder Jude Bellingham leads the way with six goals and five assists each for the 1966 world champions.

Kane netted a pair against DR Congo to ensure an England comeback win, Bellingham hit back-to-back doubles against Mexico and Norway to make him the first player to score two brace in back-to-back FIFA World Cup knockout games since world-class Diego Maradona.

But the Three Lions will need to be in their best form against a tough Argentine team who made the final four by fighting their way through.

The Argentina football team finished first in Group J, and overtimes earned a 3-2 victory over Cape Verde, only to make a dramatic late turnaround by the same score for Egypt.

La Albiceleste had also to settle for overtime in the quarter-finals when meeting Switzerland 3-1.

Defending champions Argentina, have once again been led by the No.1 goal scorer in World Cup history Lionel Messi.

Messi has netted eight goals and added two assists in the three-time winners’ three group stage games, including a hat trick in their opening game against Algeria.

England vs Argentina football head-to-head
Argentina and England have one of the world’s most historic intercontinental rivalries in football. The two sides have met 14 times – England six, Argentina three with five draws in between.

England have won three out of five matches with Argentina, with victories in 2002, 1966 and 1962 in the FIFA World Cup.

Argentina’s only regulation-time triumph came in the 1986 quarter-finals, when Argentinean genius Diego Maradona found La Albiceleste’s back by putting in two goals, one of which was his celebrated ‘Hand of God’ and ‘Goal of the Century’.

The other world cup clash ended with a 2-2 draw in the round of 16 stage before Argentina beat them 4-3 on penalties, and was as much about David Beckham’s red card as it was about the shoot-out.

However, four years later Beckham found redemption as he belted in the winner on the break from the penalty spot in England’s 1-0 group stage win over Argentina in the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

The last time the two teams played against each other in an international friendly was 2005, when England took a 3-2 lead over Argentina.
