World Cup Semi-Final First Half Is a Wrestling Match, Fans Shocked by Argentina vs England Brawl — 1 of 2
1 / 2

The World Cup semi-final between Argentina and England opened with relentless physicality. The teams combined for 19 fouls in a goalless first half, and each side picked up a yellow card. Fans flooded social media, calling the contest more like a wrestling match than football. One viewer complained that players were “literally on top” of each other, while another lamented signing up for “FOOTBALL, not a boxing ring.” Tempers even flared with the referee as halftime arrived. With the second half about to start, both teams must curb their aggression and avoid further bookings if they want to decide this clash on merit.
