World Cup stories: God's foot and hand, war on and off the field: a rivalry that's a true classic

The article discusses the historic football rivalry between Argentina and England ahead of their World Cup semifinal match. Lionel Messi will play against England for the first time in his career, having previously been suspended during a friendly encounter in 2005. The rivalry has deep historical roots, including past matches at World Cups and the Falklands War tensions. The 1966 World Cup quarter-final between the two teams was particularly intense, marked by numerous fouls and low-quality play. This match is seen as a significant moment in the ongoing football and political rivalry between the nations.
