ATLANTA — Celebrities flocked to see the long-held and bitter rivalry between Argentina and England play out at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, something that had been rising for over 20 years—the last time the two teams clashed—and spilled over at the 2026 World Cup semifinals.
The star-studded crowd is eager to see how England responds to the magic of Argentinian legend Lionel Messi, who is playing his best soccer despite competing in his sixth-career World Cup at 39 years old. The Three Lions are fighting for a spot in the World Cup final for the first time in 60 years, while the title-holding Argentinians are chasing a two-peat to close out Messi’s illustrious international career.
