Finally, It happens that the teams that a lot of people actually thought would have made it to the final stage went the opposite way, now it Spain Vs Argentina. It really going to be an interesting match to watch. The level of performance showcased by Argentina tonight is quite impressive, this happens to be one of greatest comeback they've had so far in this competition.

Spain - Argentina for the finals.

Quoting myself because I wrote this earlier this morning.

Even with the one to nil win, I could still see Argentina winning that game. And lo and behold, they cameback to win the game. England Sat back for too long. They defended when thry should have at least collected the ball to posses Argentina. I don't know where I saw that prediction but they have already made predictions for Argentina to win the finals against Spain ( 2-3 ).

England already lost the match when they decided to defend just one goal till the end of the game.they were so reluctant to push forward and just wanted to sleep at one goal.

It was an interesting match, Argentina really gave us the game of the evening. Even after they were losing to England they still had the upper hand in terms of possession and attempts. If they had enough time, I'm certain they would have done een more than 2 goals.

Well unto the next, Argentina might just be heading to win the world cup  , who knows?

[DYOR+BTC]

Am still surprised on today's semi-final result between Argentina and England, from onset it was all about England with all opportunities of winning but at last the game ended in an opposite form. To say i will blame England for the silly mistake made at the die minutes of the game that was already finished.  
With this unexpected result that surfaced today, I will say spain needs to be careful if not Argentina will become the winner of this year's world cup because from starting it was all by luck they made it this current position.

Congratulations to Argentina, i’m really amazed with their fantastic performance tonight. Their determination, fighting spirit and teamwork has really showed up at last. Am wishing you all the best as you guys are preparing for the biggest match coming up, I hope and pray that this final match  be another unforgettable and memorable  victory in  Argentina’s football history.

Worst performance from England they gave Argentina the opportunity to take over the game, Argentina made several goal attempt while England was just parking the box when they should come out to play the game. Argentina has been making some good come back to get to the final, against Cape Verde they made a come back to win against Egypt they also turn a 2-0 loss to a 3-2 win and today against England they also made a late come back to win England 2-1.

The match was really physical it reminded me of the one between France and Paraguay. Tensions were rising here and there, players were only ground almost every 10 to 15 minutes, the only difference i see here is that the cards are not one sided unlike the former. Another of my observation is that both teams were really tensed, anxious, and it showed. It was very obvious. At some point towards the end of the match, England relaxed or got too comfortable and then that was were Argentina took the advantage. Well, it seems they will once again be the winners of this year's world cup.

So much tension in this game, this is the biggest stage of world football. The game we all have been waiting for is here and this would be one game of a kind. Spain vs Argentina on Sunday, I can't wait to see the action as it's going to boil down. I believe we all watch the game tonight? Leo Messi is not playing as if he's 39 years old, so much energy from the GOAT on the pitch, he ensured he converted his chances and made quite good crosses which led to goals.

England were not playing football, what they did was exhibit Haram football and I blame Thomas Tuchel for this kind of game, why bring in defenders for just a 1 nil lead? Well the deed have already been done and England have been knocked out of the world cup semi final.

Argentina's performance was absolutely incredible tonight. Their teamwork and fighting spirit truly set them apart on the pitch. Did you know this marks Argentina’s 7th appearance in a World Cup final, and Lionel Messi’s 7th final in a major international tournament? With the squad showing such a strong defensive record and lethal counter-attacks, they look unstoppable. Let's hope our football dreams come true and this final brings another legendary, unforgettable victory for Argentina's history! Vamos Argentina!

The VAR has been favoring Argentina or have you forgotten? This game is going to be an exciting one it will be as tough as the final we had a surprising result yesterday where the Spanish side eliminated France 2-0 unexpectedly to be in the final. Argentina is the defending Champions they have been lucky with the help of FIFA to be in the semi final i believe that England is the first strong side they will be facing in this World Cup if they can win England they can win the World Cup again.

You are one of the few people I do wonder how you got up in rank to ever think of something like this. How VAR favour Messi? What kind of decision making is this? You should admit that you are a Ronaldo fan then I will understand your statement properly, you guys don't have to say unreasonable statements before you try to make any arguments regarding Messi, he has proved to be the alpha of Argentina but you people don't know how to accept it.

If Argentina goes with England and have one goal and they don't win the match, I will be happy, he will win the highest goal scorer and he has a trophy waiting for him to home. The best of y happiness is the fact that Ronaldo journey ended right with Spain and he never ever touch the world cup. To even say Yamal got to the world cup finql before him is enough happiness that everyone want.

You are so Retarded, from my comment i never mentioned Messi or even Cristiano Ronaldo i only mentioned how FIFA has been in the side of Argentina i wonder why you are bringing up the debate of Messi and Ronaldo here, what just happened now shows that you dislike Cristiano Ronaldo and also a Messi fan. What business do Ronaldo also have with Yamal doesn't it mean that Yamal is better than Ronaldo because he got to the World Cup final before Cristiano Ronaldo? I think you need to go back and rewatch football again.

England thinking that getting back to defense to defend that their 1 goal that was leading the Argentina right from the 55 minutes after returning back to the second half is going to help them to win the game, after know that Argentina and late comeback is 5&6, they have been winning a lots of games coming with this late comeback. And that’s why even when some people was stated that they’ve already give up for the Argentina, the game was about end I was just smile.

Because Messi is a very dangerous especially when it come that their opponents are leading them by a goal, is that very time he is putting in much efforts in order to get score a goal. Today game he didn’t score a goal, but his tow assist has helped to get the victory over England.

Argentina almost secured their victory in every match in the last ten minutes and today I believed that maybe Argentina would end their 2026 World Cup journey from the semi-finals but Fernandez scored a goal in the 85th minute to equalize Argentina and then L Martinez was able to give Argentina the winning goal. Many people said that Argentina would win the match by scamming at the end but in today's match I saw that Argentina won the match completely with their own performance.That is Argentina performed very well at the end to qualify themselves for the final and they succeeded. Congratulations to Argentina for qualifying for the final.

Tonight Argentina proves their haters wrong that they are the team to beat in this competition with such an outstanding performance against the English team that thinks that they can defend a one zero lead against a team that have Lionel Messi and other top attacking players, that's madness that was doom to fail from the moment they start defending, instead of playing their normal game.

I knew that England would not be able to hold strong until the end of the game because they were giving them too much space to attack them aggressively in their own half, which I believe that it would only be a matter of time before they concede, which they did, and eventually concede another one that made it 2-1. So Argentina was the team that deserves to win this game because they shows what they are made off.

England already lost the match when they decided to defend just one goal till the end of the game.they were so reluctant to push forward and just wanted to sleep at one goal.

It was proven once again today, from the Argentina vs England match, that you can never win a World Cup by playing defensively. England started playing defensively right after scoring one goal and because of that they were not able to attack Argentina properly. If Argentina can maintain the kind of performance they showed today, they will do well in the final as well. Argentina played a very well-organized game today and that certainly deserves praise.

England had that game in their hands the whole time and they just threw it away with that stupid mistake at the very last minute. It makes no sense how they bottled it when they had all the chances to win.But you are so right about Spain. If they don't stay focused, Argentina will punish them and take the trophy. Argentina has had crazy luck this entire tournament, but luck can actually take a team all the way to the final. Spain must be very carefull.

My friend I don’t know the team you’re talking about who missed out on the finals maybe France, I don’t think a lot of people expected England to win. They did their bid but they underestimated the power of a god amongst the Argentines. Tuchel shouldn’t have gone defensive after their lead goal that was a huge mistake.

Messi is just divine and this World Cup amongst other achievements have proven that, anyone still doubting is just lying to themselves. This is the most incredible World Cup of my lifetime.

History rewritten!!
Argentina vs England 1986:- Hand of God by Maradona
Argentina vs England 2026:- Assists of God by Messi

Argentina will now face a very tough opponent in the final, Spain. Spain will play their best against them. Their defenders are stronger than the English players. So if Spain takes the lead, it will be very difficult to stop them. Another great match awaits us. I will enjoy it very much. I especially want the Argentinian players and Messi to achieve a great success and win the cup.

Easy mate, no need to be worked up with that jab. It’s just normal for football fans whenever these two play, there is always going to be some banter on who’s better and why the other persons contribution doesn’t matter to football which I find very unsportsmanlike. I mean, Messi is rocking it right now on the world’s biggest stage and Ronaldo is out, a lot of Messi fans would obviously make the most of it. It’s one of those things about being a fanatics.

However, I would say Argentina has earned their mark yet again and this time, it’s not FIFA, it’s just England being too scared to keep the pressure while hoping they could defend their one goal lead. At least they now see how such tactics end and haven’t got a chance to make amends.

The Argentina team performed very well, in this match they performed in a way that the fans did not expect from them at all. The Argentina team continued to attack extensively until the end, but Argentina scored a goal in the extra minute and secured the victory. As a result, this match was a tough competition. A tough competition between the two teams. In the end, the England team was forced to lose, the England team players did not rest, but it was as if they were deprived of performance in today's game.
The way the England team performed with the Norway team in the semi-final match, they could not perform with the Argentina team. The Argentina team has finally reached the final and this Argentina vs Spain game will be a tough competition.

Argentina had much better ball possession right from the beginning and kept giving their all until the very end. Martinez's goal secured Argentina's victory, based on the performance they showed this time, it can undoubtedly be said that they deserve to play in the final. A comeback like that at the last moment was beyond imagination, everyone in the stands was leaning toward disappointment, but within moments everything changed and the victory came. Congratulations to Argentina for delivering such a match.

They did their bid but they underestimated the power of a god amongst the Argentines. Tuchel shouldn’t have gone defensive after their lead goal that was a huge mistake.

England was the favorite for this game, because they were considered to have a superiorly skilled team, while Argentina had only Messi. Moreover, Argentina faced relatively weak opponents so far since the beginning of this world cup, and even struggled against them sometimes, so it was expected Argentina would have a much harder time against England today.

But once again, just like yesterday, the favorite felt down and the underdog won the match. No doubts Argentina plays fiercely until the last second of the match and that their collective spirit is quite strong. You can see Argentinians really love their country, the national team and to play together side by side. They get quite emotional about it in a way you don't see on the other teams.

On the other hand, with the popularity of sports betting nowadays, I get suspicious about such outcomes, especially because England played nothing on the second half, same as France yesterday which played nothing the entire game.

It really going to be an interesting match to watch. The level of performance showcased by Argentina tonight is quite impressive, this happens to be one of greatest comeback they've had so far in this competition.

It was just a goal difference and not three or four. England tried their best but they weren't that focusing especially at the end of the game where Argentina domination was clear. Hopefully next time Spain will learn from the mistakes done by England and will beat Argentina. I don't have any problems with them, just willing to see FIFA getting pissed along with the one hating Spain who is making calls and interfere with the more than fair competition.
