Defending champion Argentina rallied to beat England 2-1 on Wednesday and reach the World Cup<\/a> final.<\/p>

Trailing 1-0 going into the last five minutes of regulation time, Enzo Fernandez and substitute Lautaro Martinez scored for Argentina.<\/p>\n

Anthony Gordon had given England the lead, but Lionel Messi and Co. had other ideas.<\/p>\n

Argentina pushed for an equalizer and the pressure eventually led to Fernandez scoring in the 85th minute. Martinez headed in the winner two minutes into injury time.<\/p>\n

Argentina will play Spain in the World Cup final on Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey.<\/p>\n

After their loss, England players migrated closer to their fans as they gave supporters some light applause, while still appearing to be in disbelief. Then they slowly walked back to the locker room but had to pass right in front of the Argentine crowd, which roundly jeered them off the field.<\/p>\n

England wanted to protect its late 1-0 lead and coach Thomas Tuchel made lineup changes to build a wall in front of the goal.<\/p>\n

Argentina and Lionel Messi kicked it down.<\/p>\n

England swapped defender Reece James for Dan Burn and midfielder Declan Rice for defender Nico O\u2019Reilly in the 82nd minute.<\/p>\n

Three minutes later, Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez struck from outside the penalty area for Argentina\u2019s first goal. And late substitute Lautaro Mart\u00ednez sealed the win with a close-range header when England defenders lost him on a cross from Messi.<\/p>\n

Argentina superstar Lionel Messi pulled in England captain Harry Kane and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford for handshakes and hugs on the pitch after Argentina\u2019s 2-1 victory.<\/p>\n

Argentina players \u2014 many with their shirts off \u2014 jumped and sang in front of their fans after their win over England in the World Cup semifinals.<\/p>\n

England players stood in shock in the middle of the field. A sizable chunk of their fans left immediately when the match ended.<\/p>\n

Lionel Messi and Argentina have advanced to the World Cup final with a 2-1 victory over England in Atlanta. Argentina will meet Spain on Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey, as it seeks its second straight World Cup title.<\/p>\n

Lionel Messi assisted on both of Argentina\u2019s late goals, his third and fourth assists of the World Cup. That puts him ahead of France\u2019s Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 in the race for Golden Boot.<\/p>\n

The award goes to the tournament\u2019s top scorer. Messi and Mbapp\u00e9 each have eight goals, with assists as the first tiebreaker.<\/p>\n

Lionel Messi delivered another perfect pass to the goal that may have put a late dagger in England. Messi gathered the ball on the right side, took a couple of touches, then delivered a perfect cross across the goal for Lautaro Martinez\u2019s powerful close range header. Martinez had subbed into the game just a few minutes earlier.<\/p>\n

Lautaro Mart\u00ednez scores in the second minute of second-half stoppage time to give Argentina the lead.<\/p>\n

Shortly before the tying goal by Argentina\u2019s Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez, Argentina made its last substitution as forward Lautaro Mart\u00ednez came on for defender Nicol\u00e1s Tagliafico in the 81st minute. England also made changes, swapping defender Reece James for Dan Burn, and Declan Rice for Nico O\u2019Reilly.<\/p>\n

Messi took the ball wide on the right side after a quick corner kick. He worked his way toward the penalty box before passing to Enzo Fernandez, who unleashed a powerful shot with his right foot that beat England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford as it bent toward upper right corner.<\/p>\n

Argentina\u2019s Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez scores in the 85th minute.<\/p>\n

England has subbed out goal scorer Anthony Gordon for Ezri Konsa.<\/p>\n

Argentina has subbed Gonzalo Montiel for Nahuel Molina, Nicolas Otamendi for Lisandro Mart\u00ednez, and Rodrigo De Paul for Giuliano Simeone.<\/p>\n

England seized control with Anthony Gordon\u2019s goal but Argentina is pressing hard to match it.<\/p>\n

England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made a diving save to his right to deny Argentina\u2019s Nico Gonzalez on a header just before the hydration break.<\/p>\n

Argentina sent Leandro Paredes to the bench in the 64th minute. He was replaced by Nico Gonz\u00e1lez as Argentina chases a goal after falling behind 1-0.<\/p>\n

The score came on a cross from Morgan Rogers across the mouth of the goal, and Anthony Gordon got his right foot on the ball to knock it past Argentina goal keeper Emiliano Martinez. The play started with a quick flick to the wing from Declan Rice.<\/p>\n

Anthony Gordon scores in the 55th minute.<\/p>\n

The first half was scoreless but not without some rough action. The teams combined for 19 fouls, two yellow cards and no shots on goal.<\/p>\n

The Atlanta-raised hip-hop star treated fans to a DJ set during halftime, starting with his song \u201cWelcome to Atlanta.\u201d From there, fans heard other classics, including Usher\u2019s \u201cYeah!,\u201d and T.I.\u2019s \u201cBring Em Out.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani arrived shortly before kickoff to a World Cup watch party at the city\u2019s Rikers Island jail.<\/p>\n

His dark suit jacket was off and his white dress shirt sleeves were rolled up.<\/p>\n

Mamdani took a seat at a table and immediately started chatting about the tournament.<\/p>\n

One of the inmates told others at the table that he expected Argentina to prevail over England and go onto face Spain, which beat France on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou never know,\u201d said Mamdani, a professed Morocco fan.<\/p>\n

Another inmate said he was going home later today. \u201cThat\u2019s amazing,\u201d the mayor said.<\/p>\n

At about the 20-minute mark of the game, Mamdani headed out.<\/p>\n

There has been little in the way of action near the goal, but the bodies have been flying in a rugged match fueled by a tense historic rivalry.<\/p>\n

The teams have combined for 19 fouls, two yellow cards and no shots on goal. Referee Ismail Elfath held up play briefly after just a few minutes in an effort to calm things down.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t seem to help much as the physical style by both teams continued.<\/p>\n

Argentina\u2019s star striker Lionel Messi has struggled to create goal chances. It\u2019s been the same for England and striker Harry Kane, who has yet to make much of an impact.<\/p>\n

The teams will have to decide whether to sit the players who received the yellow cards for the second half or risk another one and an automatic ejection. They are England\u2019s Elliot Anderson and Argentina\u2019s Lisandro Martinez.<\/p>\n

This one goes to Argentina, earned by Lisandro Mart\u00ednez in the 42nd minute for holding up a potential England counterattack.<\/p>\n

This rough match now has more yellow cards (two) than shots on goal (zero).<\/p>\n

The first yellow card of a rugged match has been issued to England\u2019s Elliot Anderson for a hard tackle on Lionel Messi in the 38th minute.<\/p>\n

The play stopped a dangerous Argentina attack. The teams had been whistled for 16 fouls at that point.<\/p>\n

Lines inside stadiums to buy World Cup merchandise have been outrageous throughout the tournament.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s semifinal between England and Argentina was no exception, with hundreds in line before the match started. Scarves are a particularly hot commodity.<\/p>\n

Curious to see what the lines were like while the match was ongoing, an Associated Press reporter visited a FIFA store around the 20th minute and found more than a dozen people in line to buy items including $45 scarves and $48 T-shirts.<\/p>\n

Referee Ismail Elfath has perhaps been working the hardest trying to keep control of a physical and emotional match.<\/p>\n

Neither team has created much in the way of goal chances, but players have been hitting the ground after hard fouls and hard play. Those include stars Lionel Messi and Jude Bellingham.<\/p>\n

England and Argentina wasted no time raising the temperature of their semifinal with tough, physical play.<\/p>\n

Several players had to be separated after a hard foul by Argentina\u2019s Enzo Fernandez on England midfielder Elliot Anderson. The fouls kept coming and referee Ismail Elfath had to stop play briefly in an effort to calm things down.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the opponent, Argentina fans often enjoy chanting \u201cWhoever doesn\u2019t jump is English.\u201d So, for obvious reasons, they\u2019ve been singing it a lot as a dig at England fans.<\/p>\n

The full chant is \u201cY ya lo ve, y ya lo ve, el que no salta es un ingl\u00e9s\u201d \u2013 meaning: \u201cAnd you can see it, and you can see it: whoever doesn\u2019t jump is English.\u201d<\/p>\n

The melody comes from a catchy 1970s tune by the Argentine duo Juan & Juan.<\/p>\n

Lionel Messi leads Argentina\u2019s pursuit of a second consecutive World Cup title. His eight goals are tied for the most in this tournament.<\/p>\n

Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham lead England as the Three Lions seek their first World Cup title since 1966. Each has scored six goals so far.<\/p>\n

The intercontinental rivalry carries a lot of history, most notably Diego Maradona\u2019s \u201cHand of God\u201d goal against England in 1986.<\/p>\n

The winner advances to Sunday\u2019s final against Spain, which beat France 2-0 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The loser plays France on Saturday for third place.<\/p>\n

More than 100 inmates at the sprawling Rikers Island correctional facility gathered in a gymnasium at the complex\u2019s main intake center to watch Wednesday\u2019s semifinal between England and Argentina.<\/p>\n

Arriving inmates dressed in tan uniforms took seats at black cloth tables facing a projection screen showing the game.<\/p>\n

Colorful balloon towers topped by soccer ball balloons framed the screen. The special event is for inmates who have shown good behavior, including being incident-free at least for 30 days.<\/p>

The jail has been hosting watch parties since the World Cup kicked off last month.<\/p>\n

There have been 90 such events, with about 4,500 of the roughly 6,600 inmates participating.<\/p>\n

David Beckham, the former England captain who could \u201cbend\u201d a ball like no other is at the match in with his wife, Victoria.<\/p>\n

Beckham owns a notorious piece of the Argentina-England rivalry history. He was sent off in the second half of a 1998 World Cup elimination match after kicking out at Argentina midfielder Diego Simeone. That left England short-handed and Beckham shouldered a lot of blame when Argentina ultimately won on penalty kicks.<\/p>\n

Beckham got a measure of revenge four years later by scoring a penalty in a 1-0 win that contributed to Argentina being eliminated from the group stage.<\/p>\n

England: Jordan Pickford, Reece James, John Stones, Marc Gu\u00e9hi, Djed Spence, Morgan Rogers, Declan Rice, Elliot Anderson, Anthony Gordon, Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane<\/p>\n

Argentina: Emiliano Mart\u00ednez, Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Mart\u00ednez, Nicol\u00e1s Tagliafico, Giuliano Simeone, Leandro Paredes, Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez, Alexis Mac Allister, Lionel Messi, Juli\u00e1n Alvarez<\/p>\n

England coach Thomas Tuchel has selected Morgan Rogers to start in place of Noni Madueke on the right wing. Defenders Reece James and Djed Spence also will start, replacing Ezri Konsa and Nico O\u2019Reilly.<\/p>\n

For Argentina, coach Lionel Scaloni picked Gio Simeone in midfield over Rodrigo De Paul.<\/p>\n

Argentine Football Association president Claudio Tapia posted a photo on Instagram of himself sitting next to Argentina stars Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul.<\/p>\n

Tapia is under investigation over his assets and the organization\u2019s financial management. He received judicial authorization to travel to the World Cup despite the ongoing probes.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere we go again, with hope as our guiding principle, representing an entire nation. More united than ever,\u201d Tapia wrote.<\/p>\n

Argentine Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva has said fans won\u2019t be able to carry some of their flags and banners that incorporate images of the Falkland Islands into the World Cup semifinal match between Argentina and England.<\/p>\n

Monteoliva cited FIFA\u2019s code of conduct, which bans politically divisive content. But her comments led to a social media backlash in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n

England reasserted control of the Falklands in a 1982 war with Argentina. Argentines claim the British protectorate as the Malvinas and consider the South Atlantic islands essential to their national identity.<\/p>\n

FIFA\u2019s code of conduct also says fans cannot \u201ccurse or chant in a political, offensive and\/or discriminatory manner.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Britain\u2019s top representative in Atlanta has said she expects Argentines to continue with their chants that reference the Malvinas along with soccer greats Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi. Consul General Rachel Galloway told Atlanta First News that although fans might sing about those issues, \u201cwe find a way to work together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wildfires in Canada forced officials to call off Wednesday\u2019s planned FIFA Fan Festival in Toronto. Thousands of people were expected to be there to watch the England-Argentina match.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe health and safety of attendees, staff, volunteers, and emergency personnel remains our top priority,\u201d organizers said.<\/p>\n

More than 100 wildfires were burning in Canada on Wednesday, with wind pushing smoke southeast. Warnings about unhealthy air extended from Minnesota through Toronto and into New York.<\/p>\n

The World Cup final will be in East Rutherford, New Jersey \u2014 just outside of New York City \u2014 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has tried to play down his country\u2019s clash with England as nothing more than a soccer game.<\/p>\n

But some Argentine politicians have not been shy about bringing up longstanding tensions between the countries.<\/p>\n

Argentine Vice President Victoria Villarruel described the match as a fight against \u201cusurping pirates.\u201d<\/a> That\u2019s a reference to England\u2019s control of the Falkland Islands, known in Argentina as the Malvinas.<\/p>\n

Villarruel shared a photo of an Argentine jersey draped over the grave of a soldier killed in the deadly 10-week Falklands War of 1982. She also made references to Argentine greats Diego Maradona, who led a World Cup quarterfinal victory over England in 1986, and Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t just another match. \u2026 It\u2019s the Malvinas, it\u2019s Diego, it\u2019s Leo\u2019s last one, and it\u2019s putting the brakes on the invaders,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, one of the biggest stars of this year\u2019s World Cup and one of the game\u2019s greatest scorers, just couldn\u2019t generate many chances in France\u2019s 2-0 loss to Spain<\/a> in the semifinals on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Through Tuesday, Mbapp\u00e9 and Lionel Messi remain tied atop the leaderboard with eight goals each. Mbapp\u00e9, who won the Golden Boot at the last World Cup four years ago in Qatar, holds the first tiebreaker with the edge in assists. Messi has a chance to pull ahead in the race on Wednesday as Argentina faces England.<\/p>\n

Both players will then have one more match before the award is decided. France will play the loser of the other semifinal match in the third-place game on Saturday in Miami Gardens, Florida. Spain will take on the winner in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in the final.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s England vs. Argentina in the World Cup<\/a> semifinals. It\u2019s also Lionel Messi vs. Jude Bellingham.<\/p>\n

The battle of the two No. 10s could be pivotal to deciding Wednesday\u2019s match in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know how good Messi<\/a> is,\u201d England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford said of the Argentina great, whose enduring brilliance has been on show again even at the age of 39.<\/p>\n

Messi and Bellingham<\/a> have been inspirational in their teams\u2019 respective runs to the final four. And Wednesday\u2019s match may well be determined by which one has the biggest say on the day.<\/p>\n

He is already considered by many to be the greatest of all time \u2014 the GOAT \u2014 and his performances at what is likely his last World Cup, aged 39, have only strengthened that argument. This will be Lionel Messi\u2019s first ever game against England.<\/p>\n

If Messi can lead Argentina to the title, he would surpass the great Maradona by winning two World Cups for his country.<\/p>\n

Argentina would also become the first back-to-back champion since Brazil in 1958 and 1962.<\/p>\n

Soccer great Pel\u00e9<\/a> was part of those Brazil teams and also went on to win a third World Cup in 1970.<\/p>\n

Spain\u2019s defensive prowess and swagger were just too much for an attacking trio led by France great Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/a> , and just enough to get the 2010 champions into another World Cup<\/a> final.<\/p>\n

The Spanish team managed a record sixth shutout in seven games so far, winning 2-0 in the semifinals Tuesday against one of the most prolific scorers in World Cup history.<\/p>\n

Spain will face the winner of Argentina-England on Sunday at New York New Jersey stadium.<\/p>\n

Argentina and England have plenty of beef on and off the soccer field coming into today\u2019s World Cup<\/a> semifinal game in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

The off-the-field tensions go back to the 1982 conflict over the Falkland Islands<\/a> while the soccer rivalry also has been intense for decades.<\/p>\n

Argentina captain Antonio Rattin, whose death was announced on Saturday,<\/a> was sent off in a bad-tempered quarterfinal match against winner England in 1966. England manager Alf Ramsey tried to stop his players from swapping shirts with their opponents after a 1-0 victory.<\/p>\n

Twenty years later in 1986 Diego Maradona\u2019s infamous \u201cHand of God\u201d goal<\/a> helped Argentina to a 2-1 win against England in the quarterfinals on the way to lifting the trophy.<\/p>\n

David Beckham was sent off in 1998 for kicking out at Argentina midfielder Diego Simeone, who was predictably criticized by the English media for his reaction to what appeared to be light contact. Argentina won the round of 16 match on penalties.<\/p>\n

Beckham got his revenge four years later by scoring a penalty in a 1-0 win that contributed to Argentina being eliminated at the group stage.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Argentina-England matchup in Atlanta will be at 3 p.m. EDT and available in English on Fox or FS1.<\/p>\n

For those who prefer the Spanish broadcast<\/a> \u2014 Telemundo has been a very popular option.<\/p>\n

The World Cup\u2019s viewership in the U.S. has been strong throughout the tournament.<\/p>\n

Fox reported more than 21.7 million tuned in to watch England\u2019s 3-2 victory<\/a> in Mexico City on July 5. That topped the previous record of the final between Argentina and France in 2022, which was seen by 16.7 million.<\/p>\n

Every match of the tournament has been available for U.S. viewers in English on Fox or FS1, on Telemundo or Universo in Spanish. Streaming options include Fox One and Peacock.<\/p>
