Tensions rose before the FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final as a group of Argentina fans were involved in a brawl outside the stadium in Atlanta less than an hour before kick-off against England. Security officials quickly stepped in to control the situation. On the field, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni made a surprise decision by leaving midfielder Rodrigo De Paul on the bench and handing 23-year-old Giuliano Simeone only his second World Cup start. England made 3 changes to their lineup after defeating Norway. The winner of the match will face Spain in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final on Sunday.
