On the brink… Will Argentina survive as heroes?

The Argentina team, under the leadership of coach Lionel Scaloni, continued to advance in the 2026 World Cup, defeating Switzerland 3-1 after extra time to advance to the semifinals of the World Cup for the third time in a row.

However, despite qualifying, the reigning champion left plenty of question marks over his form after appearing to be a far cry from the version in which he imposed his dominance at the Qatar World Cup.

Argentina proved once again that they have the image of a hero and an exceptional ability to survive in the most difficult circumstances, but physical fatigue and a decline in collective performance raise doubts ahead of the upcoming showdown against England.
