The head coach of the Argentina national team, Lionel Scaloni, came to the defense of his team, criticizing the harshness of its play in the current world championship. Ahead of the final semi-final match against England, the coach said that the result speaks for itself.

" We probably did everything right to get to this stage. . The stench has brought us to three titles, and now to the semi-finals. In short order, we are going to give everything we can to get there,” Scaloni said..

Although Argentina completely defeated Group J, easily beating Algeria, Austria and Jordan, the play-off stage appeared for the rank champions after testing for vitriality. The team needed additional time to polish the operations of Cape Verde and Switzerland. The 1/8 final match against Egypt became even more dramatic, where the Argentines managed to win 0:2 thanks to the efforts of Lionel Messi.

By the way, for the star captain, the upcoming match will be the first in his career against the England team. The semi-final against Tuchel's team marks Argentina's third appearance at this stage since 2014. Don’t forget that the team also triumphed in the two remaining America’s Cup events (2021, 2024).

Skaloni noted that aesthetics immediately goes to another plane:.

“To be honest, I won’t get hung up on what we play the way I want. Just a month ago, I would have missed the chance to spend until the finals of the world championship, having spent there like forever. It also has no meaning, in whatever way we are. I have no serious complaints. We marvel at our camp and are ready to play the match,” the Kermanich respected.

Journalists did not ignore the historical context of the conflict, knowing about the tension between the countries through the Falklands (Malvinia) War of 1982.. However, Lionel was categorical, urging him to focus exclusively on sports.

" I can’t get lost in words, especially because of the honors that have happened so many times. .

We, of course, remember a lot of people, but it’s a football match; It’s not our fault to get confused,” the coach said, encouraging.

Helping this principled semi-final seals the ticket to the final match of the tournament. At the final, which will take place on the 19th of June in East Rutherford (New Jersey), the bet will be won by Spain..

Guess what, it became known earlier that an American referee will judge the 2026 emergency final between England and Argentina.
