England vs Argentina is one of the most iconic football fixtures in World Cup history. Whether it is the Maradona Hand of God, or David Beckham’s sending-off in 1998, this is a game that guarantees drama and era-defining events. The 2026 semi-final between the two countries promises to be similarly tasty. Taking place on Wednesday in Atlanta, both sides are unbeaten so far and have shown glimpses of real quality on their way to the last-four.

The 2026 World Cup is at the latter stages, with the final taking place this Sunday. The tournament has seen huge trading volumes on platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket. Consequently, nine European gambling regulators have issued a joint declaration targeting unlicensed prediction markets.

The 2026 World Cup in its extended format has provided one of the most memorable tournaments in living memory, but from 48 teams we are now down to the final four, and it is probably the four strongest teams remaining. The semi-final lineup in the United States sees France vs Spain and England vs Argentina with all teams having a strong shout to win the iconic trophy.
