Argentina vs England at the World Cup

Both of these countries have been in possession of the prestigious World Cup trophy, although Argentina undoubtedly have more experience in that regard.

La Albiceleste first became champions of the world in 1978, and did so in front of their adoring fans in Buenos Aires. The South Americans defeated the Netherlands, 3-1, in extra time at what is today known as Estadio Monumental.

This came 12 years after England had lifted the Jules Rimet Trophy, also on home soil, as the Three Lions recorded a 4-2 win over West Germany at Wembley Stadium.

Argentina became two-time world champions in 1986 with Diego Maradona at the forefront of their efforts. Nicknamed ‘the Golden Boy’, Maradona scored five goals at the tournament in Mexico and he received the Golden Ball for his performances at the showpiece event.

36 years went by before the South Americans finally reclaimed the world title at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Widely considered the heir to Maradona’s throne, Lionel Messi guided his country to the promised land with victory over France in the World Cup Final.

Argentina vs England Head-to-Head

The first time the Three Lions met La Albiceleste at the FIFA World Cup was at the 1962 tournament held in Chile. England recorded a 3-1 win in their group match against the South Americans, with Bobby Charlton and Jimmy Greaves on the scoresheet.

Four years later the teams reconvened on the world stage, this time in the knockout phase. England ran out 1-0 winners at Wembley Stadium, thanks to a second-half goal by Geoff Hurst, on route to lifting the Jules Rimet Trophy for the first time.

The following World Cup encounter between Argentina & England came in 1986. This particular game, played at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, remains one of the most memorable World Cup matches of all time. Diego Maradona scored twice, including the infamous ‘hand of God’, to send Argentina on their way to capturing a second World Cup success.

The 1998 World Cup saw Argentina & England face off in the Round of 16. Alan Shearer cancelled out Gabriel Batistuta’s early opening goal and the contest ended 2-2, before La Albiceleste emerged victorious in the subsequent penalty shootout.

The Three Lions picked up a 1-0 win over Argentina when the sides clashed in the 2002 World Cup group stage, with David Beckham netting the decisive goal.
