England's quest for a World Cup final appearance, their first since 1966, was dramatically ended by a late surge from rivals Argentina. The holders secured a 2-1 win with a goal in added time, crushing English aspirations.

England's World Cup journey came to a heartbreaking conclusion as rivals Argentina staged a stunning late comeback to edge them out 2-1. The victory for the holders means England will not reach the final for the first time since their triumph in 1966.

The match remained in the balance deep into the second half, with critical goals conceded in the dying moments of regular time and stoppage time proving decisive. Lautaro Martinez delivered the decisive blow for Argentina, finding the net in the 90+2 minute to seal their progress and end England's dreams.

Argentina's resilience and clinical finishing in the critical moments highlight a mental fortitude that England, for all their talent, has yet to consistently demonstrate on the biggest stage.
