BREAKING: MESSI DELIVERS AGAIN: TWO ASSISTS LIFT ARGENTINA PAST ENGLAND, INTO WORLD CUP FINAL

Lionel Messi once again proved why he remains one of the game’s greatest, recording two brilliant assists as Argentina defeated England 2-1 in the World Cup semifinal to book a place in Sunday’s final against Spain. Argentina struck twice with Messi creating both goals through trademark vision and precision passing. England battled back with a goal of its own and pushed for an equalizer late, but Argentina’s defense held firm to seal the victory. The reigning champions are now one win away from another World Cup title, while England will play France in the third-place match.
