After Spain punched their ticket into the FIFA World Cup 2026 final, the England national football team and Argentina national football team will battle it out for the remaining spot. Atlanta’s famous Mercedes-Benz Stadium is getting ready to host the blockbuster semi-final, graced by eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi and one of the best goal scorers of this generation, Harry Kane. Looking back at the England vs Argentina head-to-head record at the World Cup, the Three Lions have dominated the fixture, despite several controversial events.
