Argentina and England collide with World Cup final spot at stake
ATLANTA: Lionel Messi’s Argentina clash with England in a marquee World Cup semifinal on Wednesday, with Spain lying in wait after shattering French hopes of a third triumph. The fixture between two of the big beasts of global football is mouthwatering enough but is given added spice by long-standing political tensions. Lionel Scaloni’s Argentina are seeking to become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to win back-to-back World Cups, which would be a staggering send-off for the incomparable Messi. The 39-year-old, joint top of the Golden Boot standings with eight goals, inspired his team to victory in Qatar in 2022 in what was expected to be his final hurrah on football’s biggest stage. But he is back for more and has played a pivotal role in dragging his team to the semifinals, scoring in hard-fought 3-2 victories against Cape Verde and Egypt. Three-time champions Argentina will be taking on a different class of opponent in Atlanta compared with teams they have faced so far, even if England have only sparkled intermittently. Thomas Tuchel’s men have relied on the brilliance of Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, who have scored 12 of England’s 13 goals. The sides will meet for the first time in a competitive match since the 2002 World Cup. Tuchel said he did not feel extra pressure despite the historic nature of the fixture as England target a first World Cup final since they won the tournament in 1966. “I don’t feel a burden,” he said.

England lacking Premier League physicality, says Mac Allister
ATLANTA: England have not played with the same intensity that their players display week in and week out in the Premier League, but Argentina’s Alexis Mac Allister remains wary of the physical strength they will bring to Wednesday’s World Cup semifinal. The 27-year-old has played six seasons in the Premier League, winning the title with Liverpool last year, and said he had noticed a difference in the potency of the English side at the World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States. “I play against most of them every weekend and it’s clear they’re physically very strong,” he said on Tuesday as Argentina fine-tuned for the clash against England at the Atlanta Stadium. “That said, I think during this World Cup we’ve seen — I don’t know if I’d call it fatigue or not — but they haven’t played with the same intensity that characterises the Premier League. “I don’t know if that’s because of the heat, the weather or other factors, but they’re obviously a great team. We have enormous respect for them, just as we have for every national team we’ve faced.” Mac Allister said the battle against England might, however, be won as much with the mind as with the physical confrontation. “It’s clear that the mental side is extremely important.
