England News:
Continuing along a path laid by former boss Gareth Southgate, England have just reached their fourth major semi-final since 2018, which is as many as they had made throughout their prior football history.It has not been smooth sailing, however. An uneven group campaign was followed by scraping past plucky DR Congo, then a magical night in Mexico preceded a tough quarter-final tie in Miami.Following his crucial two-goal contribution at Estadio Azteca, Jude Bellingham's latest brace helped the Three Lions roar back after falling behind as they beat Norway after extra time.Thomas Tuchel's side certainly rode their luck against the Nordic dark horses, but they are now just one win away from meeting Spain in the final.While optimists will note that England are on a four-game success streak - having scored at least twice each time - defensive vulnerabilities have remained and Tuchel was far from satisfied with his team on Saturday evening.
England's right-back problems rumble on, as Jarell Quansah is still suspended while injury-prone Reece James may not be risked from the start.So, either Djed Spence will return to the lineup or Ezri Konsa could continue to fill in, with John Stones partnering Marc Guehi in the centre.Jordan Henderson's wrist injury in Mexico City required surgery and should rule him out, but Tuchel will hope Declan Rice can recover from an illness that so clearly affected him against Norway.Up front, Harry Kane is all set to earn his 121st cap, surpassing Wayne Rooney for the most of any English outfield player - goalkeeper Peter Shilton holds the overall record with 125.The Three Lions' leading light at this tournament, Bellingham has scored twice in back-to-back games, joining his captain on six goals so far.
Argentina News:
This tie represents Argentina's sixth World Cup clash with their old foes from Europe, and it will also be their sixth semi-final - the South American giants have never failed to progress from this stage.It has required quite an effort to reach the last four this summer, but after surviving three testing knockout rounds they can continue their title defence in Atlanta.La Albiceleste first extricated themselves from a sticky situation against World Cup debutants Cape Verde, then managed to dig their way out of an even deeper hole against last-16 opponents Egypt.Trailing 2-0 with 11 minutes left, Lionel Scaloni's side totally turned that tie on its head, before going the distance against Switzerland. Julian Alvarez effectively settled another controversy-hit match with a pure moment of magic in extra time, his stunning strike finally finishing a 10-man Swiss side.That was Argentina's 13th straight victory since last September, and they now stand just two more from a fourth taste of global glory.
Both are vying to win an epic Golden Boot race, jointly led by Messi (eight), who has also missed twice from the spot. With his assist against Switzerland, Argentina's main man has now hit double figures for goal contributions at both of the last two World Cups.Either Julian Alvarez or Lautaro Martinez - both of whom scored in extra time at the weekend - will partner Messi, giving Scaloni a tough call to make.Though Thiago Almada impressed after arriving from the bench, Leandro Paredes offers more defensive cover in midfield so it may even be an unchanged XI.
