Messi Inspires Stunning Late Comeback as Argentina Defeat England 2–1

England looked set for their first World Cup final since 1966 after Anthony Gordon’s second-half strike put the Three Lions ahead. But Argentina refused to back down. Enzo Fernández levelled in the 85th minute before Lautaro Martínez’s stoppage-time winner, both created by Lionel Messi’s vision and calm under pressure. The defending champions showed relentless belief and attacking intent even when trailing. England will rue their missed chance in the final minutes. Was it tactical decisions, fatigue, or Argentina’s quality that swung the game? Who was your Man of the Match, and what moment do you think turned the tide?

It seems odd that England couldn't hold their lead despite dominating most of the match until that late equaliser.

I'm not convinced this comeback proves Argentina are better than England overall—they still needed a moment of luck late on.

England's defense needs more coordination under pressure—practicing late-game scenarios could prevent similar collapses in future tournaments.
