⏪ Argentina stun England to set up World Cup final with Spain | OneFootball

Thanks for tuning in to our live coverage of tonight's game. It's been emotional!

Meanwhile it's heartache again for England, who will have to contend with a third place play-off against fellow beaten semi-finalists France on Saturday in Miami.

A Finalissima in every sense of the word

FULL TIME! ENGLAND 1-2 ARGENTINA

We officially have our World Cup final line-up! The reigning holders will face Spain on Sunday evening after an incredible late second half turnaround inspired by Messi. It's a frustrating end to England's summer but Argentina were ultimately just too strong.

In other news, he is him.

Time's ticking away for England as they attempt to push back Argentina. Toney and Rashford are sent on for Stones and Spence to go all-out attack. Will it be enough?

GOAL! ENGLAND 1-2 ARGENTINA

It's bedlam in Atlanta! Just moments after Mac Allister hits the post. Messi recycles possession and floats in a cross from the right which is met at the far post by Lautaro unmarked.

We're set to have NINE minutes of added time. Will there be a winner before the final whistle?

GOAL! ENGLAND 1-1 ARGENTINA

Wow! Pick that one out! Enzo produces a stunning long-range effort to beat Pickford from a corner after being teed up on the edge of the area by Messi.

CHANCE!

Enzo lets fly from distance with a shot which appeared to be going over but Pickford got a hand to it to cover all eventualities

Burn and O'Reilly on for Rice and James as Tuchel looks to close things out. Argentina meanwhile have introduced Lautaro for Tagliafico in their latest change

CHANCE!

The offside flag spares England as González meets Messi's cross to the far post but sends it across the face of goal. It was a tight call, mind.

CHANCE!

Argentina are knocking on the door now as Mac Allister rattles the post with a powerful header after meeting De Paul's delivery

CHANCE!

If Spence made tackle of the tournament then Pickford may have just claimed the best save to deny González's header from a Messi cross right before the second 'hydration break'

Scaloni changing things up as González replaces Paredes in Argentina's holding midfield

The Barcelona summer signing is in the form of his life!

What an tackle that is from Spence to deny Simeone with a superbly-timed interception. No wonder the Tottenham defender is celebrating that!

GOAL! ENGLAND 1-0 ARGENTINA

We have the breakthrough! Gordon turns the ball home with a superb run to meet Rogers' cross into the box

Romero picks up a booking for grappling Bellingham as he attempts to race away. That's now two centre-backs on yellow cards with Martínez already having his name taken down in the first half. Advantage England?

Really good defending by Bellingham as he holds off Messi at the byline to avert the danger from the Argentina captain after he weaved in from the righthand side

CHANCE!

Alvarez holds off Spence and forces Pickford into a save before his follow-up is deflected into the side netting.

SECOND HALF

Off we go again...

HALF TIME - ENGLAND 0-0 ARGENTINA

It hasn't been a classic in Atlanta by any stretch with 19 combined fouls awarded but Thomas Tuchel's men will feel the happier heading in at the interval.

We're into three minutes of added time at the end of the first half. England continuing to build momentum but a goal before the break might just be beyond them.

The reigning world champions now have a player on a caution as Martínez is cautioned for hauling back Rogers

CHANCE!

Argentina's best opening of the half so far comes from an Enzo long-range drive after Messi's initial effort was blocked but the Chelsea midfielder's effort is narrowly off target

It seems the referee has finally located his cards as Anderson goes into the book for taking down Messi, who danced through Kane and Gordon before the midfielder and Spence sandwiched him

Bellingham wins another England free kick in a dangerous position. Tuchel's side are definitely making marginal gains since the frustration before the hydration break

CHANCE!

Rice whips in a free kick to the far post where Stones is on hand to meet it but can't steer his header goalward as it bounces wide of the target

We're into the game's first 'hydration break' and it's definitely needed. What a chaotic opening 25 minutes!

Messi's supposed favourite referee isn't exactly in a charitable mood tonight with him as a second foul on the evergreen playmaker is casually waved away

Pickford furious as he attempts to get the ball back from Simeone and sees the Argentina man rolling round on the floor. No one said this game would be pretty.

The opening ten minute have been a sign of what's potentially still to come with seven fouls given and no real goalmouth action. Referee Ismail Elfath will have his work cut out this evening!

Things are already getting heated as Anderson leaves one on Messi which sees Enzo seek retribution on the new Manchester City man. Cue handbags between both sets of players.

KICK OFF

The wait is over and we're officially underway in the second World Cup semi-final

Both teams are out on the pitch and there's a deafening noise drowning out the English national anthem is played while Argentina's is given a rousing rendition

The atmosphere is building nicely in Atlanta

What a night for a first!

A momentous night for England's captain.

OFFICIAL LINE-UPS

As expected, James, Spence (on the left) and Rogers are all surprise starters for England, while Scaloni has also thrown in a curveball with the inclusion of Simeone over De Paul.

England's bus has overtaken Argentina's on the way to the stadium. An omen or are people reading far too much into things in the build-up? 😅

Some surprise news also coming in from the Argentina camp where Rodrigo De Paul is set to be replaced by Giuliano Simeone in the starting line-up.

Messi's kit in position.

100 minutes until action in Atlanta.

Let's hope for another classic tonight.

More England surprises expected from their line-up, with James and Spence getting the nods in the full-back positions.

One England fan is very confident about their chances!

Will Argentina's captain inspire them again?

Ahead of kick-off, England are looking back on their most recent win over Argentina in a friendly over 20 years ago.

There is some big early news from the England camp - with Morgan Rogers set to start for just the second time this summer.
