England and Argentina are set to face off for the first time in more than 20 years in Atlanta on Wednesday, and they will do so with a place in the 2026 World Cup final on the line.
WATCH — England vs Argentina
At this tournament alone, Messi will have realized a pair of career firsts: a World Cup hat trick, and his first-ever game against England. The last England and Argentina played was a friendly in 2005. Messi missed the game due to suspension, after he was sent off 47 seconds into his international debut.
Both sides needed extra time to dispatch their quarterfinal foes — England 2-1 over Norway; Argentina 3-1 over Switzerland.

England vs Argentina prediction
Somebody’s going to run out of gas with about 20 minutes left to play. Argentina have played 120 minutes in two of their three knockout games, and England took a trip to Mexico City two games ago before going to extra time on Saturday. In a true toss-up… England 2-2 Argentina (England win in penalties).
