Argentina will battle England in a highly anticipated World Cup semifinal on Wednesday, with Spain already waiting in the final after eliminating France.
The clash between these two football giants carries extra tension due to long-standing political history over the Falkland Islands, though Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni urged everyone to focus strictly on the sport.
Argentina aim to become the first team since 1962 to win consecutive World Cups, offering a historic farewell to 39-year-old Lionel Messi.
Messi currently shares the lead for the Golden Boot with eight goals after guiding his team through tough matches against Cape Verde and Egypt.
They must now overcome an England squad led by Thomas Tuchel, who relies heavily on the goalscoring prowess of Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham.

The winner of this high-stakes match in Atlanta will advance to Sunday’s final in New Jersey to face Spain.
Spain booked their ticket to the final on Tuesday with a masterclass performance, defeating tournament favourites France 2-0 through goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro.
