Argentina and England fans experienced sharply different emotions as Argentina came from behind to beat England 2-1 in their semifinal clash at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In Buenos Aires, Argentina supporters packed a park, singing, waving flags before erupting in celebration after Lautaro Martinez's stoppage-time winner. In London, England fans at a fan zone celebrated Anthony Gordon's second-half opener, but the mood turned sour after Enzo Fernandez equalized in the 85th minute and Martinez completed Argentina's comeback seven minutes later. The win sends defending champions Argentina into Sunday's final against Spain.
