Ahead of Argentina’s World Cup 2026 semi-final against England, multiple reports describe violent clashes among Argentina supporters. Social media footage cited by Metro shows fans throwing glass bottles at each other. The Evening Standard adds that violence erupts in incidents involving rival groups, with reports of items such as tables, benches, and bins being thrown during the fighting. Both accounts link the unrest to the lead-up to the England match and portray it as a disorderly scene requiring heightened security. The Evening Standard also notes that authorities treat the fixture as “high risk,” prompting increased security preparations.

Overall, the sources agree that the clashes occur before the semi-final and involve thrown glass bottles and other items, reflecting concerns about fan safety and crowd control as kickoff approaches.
