The Argentine Football Association has announced that 15 July will be 'National Football Teams Day' to mark Argentina's 2026 World Cup semi-final victory over England on that date. Bidding for their first World Cup final since 1966, England took the lead in a tense affair in Atlanta through a 55th-minute Anthony Gordon finish. But with Thomas Tuchel's side sitting deep, Argentina struck in the 85th and 92nd minutes to break English hearts and claim a 2-1 win. The victory came 40 years after Argentina's previous big World Cup win over England in the controversial quarter-final victory at the 1986 tournament. Argentina went on to lose 1-0 to Spain in the 2026 final, while England beat France 6-4 to claim third place.
