Argentina declares national day to mark England win

The Argentine Football Association has declared 15 July as National Football Teams Day to commemorate Argentina's 2026 World Cup semi-final victory over England. England led through Anthony Gordon's 55th-minute goal, but Argentina struck twice late to win 2-1 in Atlanta. The match reignited political tensions as Argentine players displayed a banner reading 'Las Malvinas son Argentinas' ('The Falklands are Argentine'), referencing the long-standing sovereignty dispute over the Falkland Islands.
