England vs Argentina World Cup rivalry
England and Argentina are set to revive one of football’s greatest rivalries when they clash in the FIFA World Cup 2026 semifinal, marking their first World Cup meeting in 24 years.
The two nations have faced each other five times in World Cup history, producing unforgettable moments—from England’s controversial 1966 quarterfinal victory to Diego Maradona’s iconic “Hand of God” and stunning solo goal in 1986. Their dramatic 1998 quarterfinal ended with Argentina winning on penalties after David Beckham’s red card, while Beckham found redemption by scoring the winner in England’s 1-0 group-stage triumph in 2002.
With another place in the World Cup final at stake, the historic rivalry is set to add a thrilling new chapter in 2026.
