🇦🇷 Argentina’s dramatic win

The World Cup semifinal between England and Argentina was one of the most incredible and entertaining moments in the history of the sport as Lionel Messi’s team made a late comeback in the second half of the match against the side coached by Thomas Tuchel. Thanks to the goals scored by Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez, Messi and the Albiceleste will try to defend the title on Sunday against Spain. Here’s how our own Chuck Booth broke it down:
- Booth: “Back from the dead, Argentina scored twice after the 85th minute to book their place in the World Cup final after defeating England 2-1. It’s a second consecutive appearance in the final for Argentina as they look to become the first team to win back-to-back World Cup titles since Brazil, who won in 1958 and 62. Argentina will meet Spain at MetLife Stadium on Sunday during what will be the first meeting of the reigning European and South American champions in the World Cup final. Needing late magic every step of the way during this World Cup journey, this has been quite a run for Argentina, and it could be a chance to send 39-year-old Lionel Messi off on a high note in what could be his final World Cup appearance.”
