Shearer: Argentina’s Late Rally Proved They Deserved World Cup Final Spot
Newcastle and England legend Alan Shearer believes Argentina were the superior side in their dramatic 2-1 comeback win over England in the 2026 World Cup semi-final. England took the lead through Anthony Gordon’s 55th-minute strike. But Enzo Fernández levelled with a spectacular long-range effort, and Lautaro Martínez sealed victory with a stoppage-time header. Shearer praised Argentina’s composure and tactical response under pressure. He highlighted decisive coaching changes and the team’s refusal to panic after falling behind. The win keeps Lionel Messi’s bid for back-to-back World Cup titles alive as Argentina now prepare to face Spain in Sunday’s final.
