Defending champions Argentina are through to their second successive FIFA World Cup 2026 final after defeating England 2-1 in a tense semifinal clash.

The full-time whistle sparked jubilant scenes among the Argentina squad, who celebrated wildly on the pitch after securing their place in the showpiece match.

Argentina, who won the previous World Cup to claim the title of defending champions, now have the chance to retain their crown and cement their status as one of the game's great dynasties.

England, meanwhile, exit the tournament at the semifinal stage, falling short of what would have been a historic final appearance.
