World Cup: Defending Champion Argentina Fight Back To Beat England, Reach Final

Argentina will now play Spain in the final of the 2026 World Cup, following their stunning comeback win against England on Wednesday night.

The defending champions looked to be heading out after Anthony Gordon’s opening goal in the second half.

But Albiceleste, inspired by their talisman Lionel Messi, fought back to win the game.

Messi rolled a pass into Enzo Fernandez to smash in the equalizer, before crossing to Lautaro Martinez to head in the winner.

For England, the 60-year wait to win the World Cup continues and they will now play France in the third-place play-off.
