How England can test Argentina: Beware Messi’s corners, get Bellingham in behind and target full-backs

Argentina defeated Switzerland 3-1 after extra time in their World Cup quarter-final, with goals from Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez securing the win. England will face Argentina on Wednesday, with tactical analysts identifying key vulnerabilities to exploit, including Argentina's reliance on individual quality over cohesive attacking play. Argentina have been notably dangerous from set pieces, scoring six goals including penalties from dead-ball situations — more than any other team in the tournament, with Alexis Mac Allister netting from a corner against Switzerland.
