Argentina are back in the World Cup final after coming from behind to beat England 2-1 in the semifinal in Atlanta. The defending champions now move on to face Spain on Sunday as they chase another world title.
The result turned on a mix of England’s defensive problems and Argentina’s ability to stay composed in a high-pressure match. England were unable to manage key moments at the back, and those weaknesses gave Argentina the opening they needed to change the game.
Lionel Messi again played a central role, with his quality and experience helping Argentina take control when it mattered most. Even without needing to dominate every phase, Argentina looked confident in the biggest moments and showed the belief that has defined their recent tournament runs.
For England, the defeat will raise questions about tactics and game management, especially after losing a lead in such an important match. For Argentina, the comeback was another reminder of their resilience as they prepare for a final against Spain.
