England and Argentina renew a long-running, bitter rivalry in the World Cup semi-finals after both teams advance from the quarter-finals. England qualifies following a win over Norway, while Argentina reaches the last four after defeating Switzerland. The semi-final is scheduled for Wednesday, with the winner set to face the victor of the other semi-final between France and Spain. That match is set for Tuesday in Texas. The final is scheduled for July 19. The matchup brings together two teams with a history of intense encounters, and their advancement sets up a semi-final that determines which side will progress to the final round. With the bracket structure already defined, attention shifts to how England’s and Argentina’s quarter-final performances translate into their semi-final meeting, and to who will emerge from the France–Spain contest to complete the final pairing. Both semi-finals are part of the tournament’s final stages leading to the scheduled championship match on July 19.
