Argentina against England is much more than a football match.
It’s a ferocious and deep-rooted rivalry that’s full of enmity and transcends the sport.
The two teams are familiar foes in one way but not in another.
It’s 21 years since they last met, going back to November 2005, in a friendly (a curious word in this respect) that was played in Switzerland.
The imperfections of both these teams, and the sense that absolutely anything could happen in Atlanta, is another reason to think that England versus Argentina should get your undivided attention.
