Spain beckons for the winners of Wednesday’s World Cup semifinal between England and Argentina, as a historic rivalry is renewed after 21 years.
This is an occasion no fan will want to miss. The Three Lions are aiming to make its first World Cup final since triumphing in 1966, while Argentina is targeting a swift return to the tournament’s showpiece event four years after dethroning France in Qatar.
Both are flawed outfits yet to totally convince in North America, but its respective superstars have allowed the journeys to continue up until this point. Lionel Messi faces England for the first time in his storied career—Thomas Tuchel must work out how to stop him—having almost single-handedly thrust the holders into the last four.
Lionel Scaloni has insisted that only the soccer will do the talking in Atlanta, but this is a match that transcends and the emotion that permeates the occasion is bound to throw up a classic.
Here’s how to watch a seismic World Cup semifinal.
