The World Cup rivalry between Argentina and England
Today's grudge match is 60 years in the making.

Welcome to our coverage
England v Argentina is more than just a football grudge match.
It's 60 years of history. It's a war fought between the nations. It's arguably the greatest player of all-time, Lionel Messi, facing off against the country that brought football to the world.
Messi's never actually played England before, and said he's quite excited about it. We're not sure whether England are excited, but we know they'll be hoping to make it to their second ever World Cup final.
This World Cup has been epic and record upon record has been smashed; we're 101 matches down, now three to go.
After yesterday's somewhat surprising Spanish upset against France, we get to watch the world's number two (Argentina) and four (England) go at it.
