2026 FIFA World Cup: Semifinals - Argentina vs. England

If people think that Argentina has been rigging this tournament so far, they have another thing coming

 

Someone rewinds 66 conspiracies and the Owen dives amongst many many others. Just last game of England had so much of it lol

But they are busy posting supposedly bad Romero challenges and all it showed was some dives and never showing the other side fouling against us. Its a physical game except when it comes to argentina then we have to play with gloves lmao

 

You could tell England is always insecure ahead of a big match. We saw it went for them against Belgium , Croatia, Spain and Italy.

Argentina has secured 4 trophies in last 5 years, reaching another semi as a reigning champion is already a great feat in itself. England is still chasing shadow just like they did in all previous tournaments.

 

Bonus

 

Bunch of knuckle dragging tosspots.

Along with the Egyptian, Cristina, Real Madrid neanderthals (an insult to neanderthals who were quite intelligent and thriving). There is no doubt there is some conspiracy to flood the net with all these anti Argentine lies.

Best thing to do is to stuff their words down their throat.

 

Pressure is all on England just about everyone in the Argentina dressing room will retire a world champion whether they win or lose. This is a victory lap where the can play spoiler to England and then who knows in a final. 4 years is long time for England it could be now or never for a lot of their players.

 

You're getting there England. Lets make it to the top of the list.

 

Edul confirmed Argentina will NOT start the same XI as the last game.



Let's just hope it's not because they will start Montiel for Molina and nothing else

 

We have to beat England.

Win or win.

 

spain vs argentina final hopefully. vamos argentina

 

Seems like from Gaston, the change could be RDP out and Nico G./Simeone in.



A back 3 is Plan B

I got so many gray hairs just from last few games thanks scaloni

 

Bro, I will be honest with you. I am just waiting for all of this to be over.

 

Irony with England is they received a lot of yellows and even a red card because their tackling is very reckless at times. A lot of their fans don't accept that some teams know how to tackle right on the line where it's a foul but not a yellow card. I had a back and forth with an english supporter where I was saying you are allowed to use tactical fouls and technically every player is allowed a yellow card foul. They would not accept this as reality and claimed some sort of philosophical fair play written into the rules. ok sure but you can use tactical fouls and give away free kicks just like they do in the NBA.

 

Does DePaul being out of the starting lineup guarantee that we will be wasting a sub to bring him in oof

 

Well it's either that or wasting a sub to take him off, lol

 

So almost certainly the subs will be

RDP
Montiel/Molina for each other
Alamada
Otamendi for Romero
Lautaro

obviously they are better but Nico G/Almada is 2026 version of Pavon/Meza 2018 lol gg

they will run around and play hard but the end quality is just not there for this level

 

Lionel Scaloni held a press conference on Tuesday before Argentina’s match against England at the World Cup. Speaking about the team, here is what he had to say:

“We have plenty of desire and ambition. We need to get ack to playing football, playing with the ball, we need to be able to see the players who have led us to play great football.

“There could be some change thinking about hurting the opponent. You will know tomorrow.

“The idea is to go out with the best we have. The guys know that well.

“The team that will go out onto the pitch tomorrow is what I believe is the best. No player plays for what they have already given, if not for what they can give.

“It would be crazy to think that this is more than just a football match. The players know that very well. We are going to play a semi final of a World Cup. It is very difficult to get to a semi final of a World Cup without suffering.

“I am grateful to these guys for bringing us back to a semi final, once more, we are among the best. If we are here, it’s because we did something right.

“There is no match that is like the other. We will try to improve on things where we were not good.

“The excitement is there.

“We have to give enormous value to what we have achieved.

“Tomorrow, we are going to give until our last drop of sweat to try and get to the final.

“We have more than enough desire and ambition to achieve more. My players have always given everything on the pitch. But we must not forget to play, which is the most important thing.

“I tell the people to enjoy the moment. We have to be satisfied, excited and grateful for these players.

“We always listen to the players, they are the one’s that go out onto the pitch.

“We are wrong if we mix things up. This is football.

“The idea is to grab the ball and when we don’t have it, to try to suffer as little as possible.

“It will surprise you how this team keeps pushing forward.”

Scaloni also spoke about England:

“They have great players that we will try to neutralize.”

And about Spain making the final after winning against France:

“Spain won deservedly, they played a great match and I congratulate them for reaching the final.”
