England falls to Argentina in World Cup semi-final

Summary

England's bid for a World Cup victory ended with a defeat to Argentina in the semi-finals held in Atlanta.

This marks another missed opportunity for England, extending their wait for World Cup glory to 64 years. The focus now shifts to the upcoming 2028 European Championship, which will be hosted in England, and the 2030 World Cup, set to feature co-hosts Portugal, Morocco, and Spain, among others.
