World Cup semifinals: ‘We’ll give our souls against you’ – Argentina’s Cristian Romero warns England
Argentina’s Cristian Romero Prepares for Semi-Final Showdown Against England
ATLANTA (AP) — Argentina defender Cristian Romero addressed the media ahead of the highly anticipated semi-final match against England, scheduled to take place at Atlanta Stadium on Wednesday, July 15.
The Albiceleste secured their place in the semi-finals with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Switzerland in the quarter-finals, which was decided in extra time. Argentina took an early lead with a goal from Alexis Mac Allister in the 10th minute. Switzerland managed to equalize in the 67th minute with a goal from Dan Ndoye. However, the match turned contentious when Breel Embolo received a red card shortly thereafter. Lionel Scaloni’s squad capitalized on this advantage, scoring two late goals in the second half of extra time to clinch the win.
As they prepare for the match against England, Romero emphasized the team’s commitment and determination. “We will give our souls against England. It’s football; sometimes you win or lose, but we will leave our lives on the pitch to reach the final again,” he said, according to a report by All About Argentina on X.
Despite their recent success, Argentina’s performance throughout the 2026 tournament has raised questions. The team faced significant challenges in earlier knockout rounds against Cape Verde, Egypt, and Switzerland, and the upcoming match against England promises to be even more demanding.
