The World Cup dream is still alive. England vs Argentina World Cup Semi-Final – who thought that would be happening this time round?
Join us at The Swan, Clewer, for the England versus Argentina World Cup 2026 Semi-Final, a mouth-watering match, with a place in the Final on the line.
Few fixtures in international football carry the history, passion and drama of England versus Argentina. From iconic World Cup encounters to unforgettable moments that have become part of football folklore, this rivalry has produced some of the sport’s most memorable matches. England and Argentina have met five times previously in World Cup competition, with England winning three, Argentina winning one, and one match ending level before Argentina prevailed on penalties.
Among the most notable meetings were England’s 1-0 Quarter-Final victory on the road to lifting the World Cup in 1966, Argentina’s controversial 2-1 win in the 1986 Quarter-Final featuring Diego Maradona’s famous “Hand of God” goal, the dramatic 1998 Round of 16 encounter that ended 2-2 before Argentina won the penalty shootout, and England’s famous 1-0 victory in the group stage of the 2002 World Cup.
Now, a new chapter awaits.
Having battled their way through the knockout rounds, England find themselves just one victory away from another World Cup Final appearance. Standing in their way are Argentina, one of the world’s footballing powerhouses, setting the stage for what promises to be a remarkable evening of football.
We’ll be showing the match live across all five screens in the pub, Coach House and Cow Shed, creating the perfect atmosphere to experience every tackle, save, chance and goal alongside fellow England supporters.
The winners will progress to the FIFA World Cup Final on Sunday 19 July at 8:00pm. The losers to the 3rd/4th Place Play-off on Saturday 18 July at 10:00pm. Will you be with us for one of those matches?
