Argentina and England are set for a highly anticipated World Cup semi-final clash on Wednesday, with a lingering political dispute adding an edge to the football match.

• Argentina, seeking back-to-back World Cups, faces England, who haven't reached a final in 60 years.
• Key players include Lionel Messi (Argentina) and Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham (England), who have scored a combined 12 goals.
• The match is compounded by a sovereignty dispute over the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), with Argentina's Vice President referring to the English as "usurping pirates".
