For Messi, it was 2022 where many believed he would be done with the World Cup, especially after finally adding that victory to his illustrious resume. But he’s back in 2026 and a Golden Boot Award frontrunner, scoring eight goals in six matches, though he wasn’t among the three in the quarterfinal match against Switzerland.

There was an option at the very end of the game as a consolation goal, but it was Lautaro Martínez scoring that. But Julián Alvarez’s gorgeous strike in the 112th minute of extra time sealed victory for Argentina , which was playing with a man advantage after Breel Embolo got a red card in the 72nd minute.

In England’s case, Bellingham was the man of the match, scoring his squad’s two goals to beat Norway. One of them was controversial, however, after video replay showed a kick hit the wire holding up the Skycam, and England needed just two passes before Bellingham made a guy miss and buried his shot in the back of Norway’s net.

While it wasn’t called in the moment, Bellingham’s second goal was undeniably after he cleaned up Morgan Rogers’ shot that deflected off the Norway keeper and landed right at his boot in stoppage time to send his team off to the semifinal.

In turn, another England-Argentina matchup is upon us. These two countries have delivered some key moments in World Cup history, including the late Diego Maradona’s famous “Hand of God” goal in 1986, while David Beckham was given a red card for kicking Diego Simeone in 1998.

There’s drama between these two squads, one wishing for the chance to defend their title, while the other is hoping to get back to said final for the first time since 1966. England won the tournament that year, and they’re hoping to bring the trophy home.

It’s Messi. It’s Kane. It’s England and Argentina, and it’s all on FOX. Here’s how to watch the match, including start time, TV information and streaming options.
