🚨🗣️ Julian Alvarez: "We will do EVERYTHING to make sure Messi wins the World Cup AGAIN." "Every game is a battle for him. The first thing I did when I scored the goal was to hug him."

It doesn't matter what you think about Jude Bellingham. You can call him arrogant. Even Tuchel might be angry with his interviews. But one thing is certain: England would've been out of the World Cup without him. So, basically, they can't do without him and have to massage that arrogance as long as it brings WINS to the table. It's like Cantona at Man United, the evil everyone at United loved. The endgame in football is to WIN. If you have attitude, make sure you back it up with WINS for the team, and nobody will care, except your rivals.

Argentina vs. England game at the World Cup is always a classic; I don't expect this to be different. There is something about these two countries that fires them up when they meet each other. But I think England will win. Argentina haven't been great in this tournament, but they have used their experience to navigate difficult games so far. However, having watched them closely, they have struggled with pace and physicality all tournament, and England can bring both. But it depends on how England approach the game. If England play on the counter, they will win this game easily, but if they attack carelessly, Messi will make them pay. England need to respect Argentina and also recognise that Argentina are weak at defending transitions. Gordon and Saka will cause them a lot of problems, and Bellingham has solid timing arriving in the box on the counter. The decision is up to Tuchel. Be humble and win! Be arrogant and lose!
