The Argentine Football Association has officially declared July 15 as 'National Football Teams Day' to commemorate their historic 2026 World Cup semi-final triumph over England. The date immortalises a dramatic comeback in Atlanta where the Albiceleste scored twice in the final minutes to shatter English dreams and secure their place in a second consecutive final.
Newcastle legend Shay Given has backed Eddie Howe to eventually lead the England national team following his departure from St James’ Park. The former Magpies goalkeeper believes Howe possesses all the qualities required to succeed Thomas Tuchel at the Three Lions' helm but expects the tactician to take a hiatus from the dugout first.
