England’s World Cup journey ended in dramatic fashion as they faced Argentina in the semi-final. After taking the lead with Anthony Gordon’s goal in the second half, it looked like Thomas Tuchel’s squad was heading for their first final since 1966. However, Argentina turned the tables with Enzo Fernandez’s stunning equaliser in the 85th minute, followed by Lautaro Martinez’s decisive header in stoppage time, sealing a 2-1 victory.
Emotions ran high after the match, leading to a heated incident caught on camera. England’s Jude Bellingham was seen slapping Argentina defender Valentin Barco, sparking a scuffle among players. Amidst the tension, Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers had to be pulled away from the fray. Despite the heartbreak, England will now focus on their upcoming third-place play-off against France.
On the flip side, Argentina celebrated making it to their second consecutive World Cup final, where they will face Spain. BBC’s Alan Shearer praised Argentina’s composure and resilience, admitting, “The best team won. Their reaction was magnificent, sticking to their game plan and earning their spot in the final.”
