Tonight, England face Argentina. It won't be easy....it's a World Cup semi-final, and nothing worth winning ever is.
But this England team has shown courage, resilience and togetherness every step of the way. They've fought for every badge, every fan and every dream.
I believe. I believe in this team. I believe in our manager. I believe in our players. And I believe that tonight, they'll leave everything on that pitch.
No fear. No excuses. Just heart, passion and belief.
Come on, England. One more massive performance. One step closer to bringing football home. 🏴🦁
🚨 England have been handed a major fitness boost ahead of their World Cup semi-final against Argentina, with Thomas Tuchel overnight confirming the rest of his squad is available for selection.
Jordan Henderson is ruled out with a broken arm, while Jarell Quansah remains suspended.
Doing my nut this Pickford hate 👊
Englands first pen shootout was in 1990. From 1990 to 2018 England lost 6/7 pen shootouts, all keepers combined saved 2 penalties in 28 years.
In 2018 Jordan becomes England number 1. He’s saved 5 pens and won 3/4 pen shootouts & counting. .
Infantino comes up on the TV screen. Boos all round.
ITV "Those boos weren't for Infantino, because here in the stadium the Dallas Cowboys owner came up on the jumbotron."
Fuck off @ITV the boos were definitely for Infantino.
It don’t get much bigger than this, biggest game in England’s recent history.
2 games, two games and we’ll be crowned world champions.
Please do it England, it’s been 60 years too long. 🏴
If England win this World Cup after...
- Beating the reigning World & European champions
- Dealing with biblical storms
- Being robbed
- Overcoming witchcraft
- Playing at the Azteca vs Mexico w 10 men
- Neutralising Haaland
It will be our greatest ever achievement. By far.
Thomas Tuchel on England’s rivalry with Argentina and the importance of perspective. “We respect our opponent, but we don't dip in in historic events, and we don't make it bigger than it is. It's a big football match. It's a big occasion. The players of both countries are very aware what it means to them.
"If a fixture provides so many iconic moments, you cannot say ‘it's just another football match’. But, as a coach, we do exactly that - focus on what we can influence. Me and my team, we don't speak about the historic events. We don't speak about the iconic moments. In itself it's iconic enough, and the tension is big enough. The magnitude of the match is just what it is.
"I feel the tension, and I will be nervous and that is normal. But I feel no burden. What I really like is what I feel in the last days that the players are very, very competitive. They are very excited, and they are hungry to play this match. The two shirts are just iconic. everyone recognises this shirt straight away. Everyone recognises the players straight away. It is an absolutely beauty of a match and occasion." #ENGARG
Its a big day for England. I really believe we can do it tonight! Kane , Bellingham ,Rice all world class . Fingers crossed. Good luck for tonight boys. Its time to win this thing again. Come on boys #England
One of the biggest England matches ever.
Place in the World Cup Final at stake.
Chance to put out Messi & Argentina
COME ON ENGLAND! 🏴🏴🏴
Spain are 2-0 up against France, and this Spanish side is absolutely sensational! They were inches away from a third through Lamine Yamal. Their movement, confidence, and quality are on another level. When England get through, we'll need to raise our game, be fearless, and play the football we know we're capable of. Beat Argentina first... then bring on the very best. Come on England! 🦁🏴🔥
Argentina is without doubt England's biggest rival. It eclipses any other European nation, even Germany. Putting all the history aside, the argies are never far from controversy. Why? Because they're fucking animals mate. Straight into them nazi sympathising bastards 🏴
I know how much Argentinians feel about this game
But I’m not sure the world appreciates just how much 1986 still stings in England
I was 16 for *that* goal
We’ve waited 40 years for this
Everyone who watched that game feels the same
This is England’s moment to put it right
The two World Cup semi-finals being played on different days is ridiculous.
One finalist will have a full 24-hour advantage to recover and prepare for the final.
If England get through, we’ll be the team going in with a day less rest 😬
How is that remotely fair? 🏴
England are on the eve of a World Cup SF against Argentina and because of Gabriel Clarke, there is now a narrative that there is a problem in the camp. He got exactly what he wanted when he phrased that question to Jude. Typical of the British media when it comes to national team
The Falkland Islands are literally the only place where the indigenous population is British. The British aren’t even indigenous to the British Isles but the falklands were completely uninhabited before the British settled there.
So no, they shouldn’t be Argentinian.
🚨🗣️ Harry Kane: "I just hope Argentina doesn't get favored by the referees in this match like they did previously. If that doesn't happen, we can beat them easily."
