Argentina is two wins from becoming the first repeat World Cup champion since Brazil’s back-to-back titles in 1958 and 1962, while England hasn’t been this deep in a tournament since winning it all in 1966.
Argentina got here the hard way, needing extra time and late goals from Lautaro Martinez and Julian Alvarez to get past Switzerland, while England also needed extra time, with Jude Bellingham’s 93rd-minute winner sinking Norway.
That performance pushed Bellingham into the Golden Boot conversation with six goals, tied with Harry Kane for fourth, but now he’ll share the pitch with Lionel Messi, the tournament’s joint leader with eight goals.
