The Argentine Football Association has declared July 15 as 'National Football Teams Day' following Argentina's semi-final victory over England in the 2026 World Cup. After England took the lead with a goal from Anthony Gordon in the 55th minute, Argentina responded late, scoring twice in the 85th and 92nd minutes to secure a 2-1 win. This match marks a historic moment, echoing Argentina's previous World Cup win over England in 1986. The aftermath saw Argentine players display a politically charged banner referencing the Falklands dispute, reigniting tensions from the 1982 conflict. Argentina later lost the final to Spain, while England defeated France for third place.
