Argentina Beat England to Reach the World Cup Final
Coming from behind in Atlanta, Argentina pulled off a dramatic semi-final comeback to set up a final against Spain.
Argentina have reached the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final after overturning England in a dramatic semi-final in Atlanta, according to Sky Sports. England led, but Argentina found a way back in the closing stages to win 2-1 and book their place in Sunday's showpiece.
The result means England must settle for a third-place play-off against France in Miami on Saturday, a far cry from the final they had hoped to contest on home soil in New Jersey.
According to Reuters, the aftermath of the match was not without controversy, with Argentine players brandishing a political Falklands flag on the pitch following the final whistle, reigniting a long-running tension between the two footballing nations.
