- Argentina beat 10-man Switzerland 3-1 in extra time in Kansas City, with Julian Alvarez's extra-time strike sealing a semi-final meeting with England.
- The World Cup semi-final between England and Argentina is scheduled for Wednesday 15 July at 19:00 BST, broadcast live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Why it matters: Argentina extend their title defense in Kansas City to set up a marquee semi-final against England on 15 July — a result decided in extra time after Switzerland played a man down. The 3-1 scoreline reflects two Argentine goals after the 90 minutes, meaning England will face the defending champions regardless of their own quarter-final outcome.
