Argentine Football Association declares July 15 National Football Teams Day, commemorating Argentina's 2026 World Cup semifinal win over England. England led through Anthony Gordon's 55th-minute goal, but Argentina scored in the 85th and 92nd minutes for 2-1 victory in Atlanta. The win recalled their 1986 quarterfinal defeat of England. Some players displayed a banner saying "Las Malvinas son Argentinas"; the Falklands, scene of a 1982 war, remain disputed, though 99.8% of islanders voted in 2013 to remain British.
