*England vs Argentina: A World Cup Semifinal Steeped in History* On Wednesday, England and Argentina face off in the FIFA World Cup semifinal, a contest that carries far more weight than a standard knockout match. Fox News highlighted the showdown, with correspondent Jonathan Hunt breaking down its enduring significance in a pre-game segment aired ahead of the 3 PM ET kickoff. The rivalry traces back decades, most notably to the 1986 World Cup quarterfinal in Mexico. There, Diego Maradona delivered two legendary goals against England: the infamous “Hand of God” and the dazzling solo “Goal of the Century.” That match occurred just four years after the Falklands War, adding a layer of geopolitical tension that still resonates with fans on both sides. This 2026 semifinal pits two football powerhouses at the peak of the tournament. England, led by stars like Harry Kane, brings European discipline and attacking flair. Argentina, anchored by veteran Lionel Messi in what may be his final World Cup run, relies on technical brilliance and South American passion. Broadcast live on Fox, the game promises high drama as both nations chase a spot in the final.
