UNITED STATES - JULY 13: (EDITOR’S NOTE: This image, created on July 13, is a digital cutout composite of image numbers 2280721399, 2280721828, 2280721432, 2280721466, 2281268724, 2281268575, 2281268700 and 2281268651.)

England and Argentina now know the opponent they will need to prepare for if they qualify for the World Cup Final.

Spain's resolute, controlled performance in their 2-0 semi-final win over France has thrown the gauntlet down to the two remaining semi-finalists, which is a game that is expected to be a much feistier affair.

So, who do the BBC have in the punditry and commentary roles covering England versus Argentina?

England vs Argentina will kick off at 8pm BST, broadcast by the BBC with the full line-up of pundits, commentators and presenters now revealed.

The winner of the event, which is being held at the climate-controlled Atlanta Stadium, will play Luis de la Fuente's Spain in the World Cup Final at the New York New Jersey stadium on Sunday.

Presenting will be Mark Chapman, one of the Match of the Day hosts during the regular season and an experienced radio and television broadcaster.

Joining him on the punditry panel are three former England internationals, two of whom have appeared at the World Cup in the past.

Wayne Rooney will be in front of a mic tomorrow night, once England's highest goalscorer before Harry Kane made his mark. The Merseysider ranks highly in FourFourTwo's World Cup punditry tier-list.

Alongside Rooney are Micah Richards and Joe Hart, nowadays known for their broadcasting and media careers.

Serving as reporter on the ground is Kelly Somers, another experienced interviewer and football correspondent on the BBC payroll.

The match's main voice is Guy Mowbray, a regular of the BBC's major tournament output over the past few decades.

Joining him as co-commentator for the semi-final showdown is the Premier League's record goalscorer and former England captain Alan Shearer.

Here is FourFourTwo's prediction for the match, as well as details on the match referee and his officiating team.
