Tip and bets
For the England national team, the World Cup semi-final has been an insurmountable barrier since 1966. Judging by the recent playoff matches, it will be difficult to break this series today. The British passed all the opponents with difficulty, largely due to the individual skill of Kane and Bellingham. It's clearly not going to be enough to take on the reigning world champion.
Argentina also had difficulties in the playoffs, but the game, with the exception of implementation, did not have such problems as the British. The national team's game is not tied strictly to Messi alone. The leader plays an important role in the development of attacks from deep, draws together large forces of rivals. Undoubtedly, the British will pay a lot of attention to Lionel, but anyone can prove themselves in attack, first of all, Alexis McAllister and Enzo Fernandez are dangerous. The England national team could not win back to zero even once in the playoffs, there are plenty of questions about the defensive game.
