The Argentina–England football rivalry is a sports rivalry between the national football teams of Argentina and England. Exacerbated by historical political tensions, it is widely considered one of the most intense rivalries in international sport. Fixtures between the two nations, including friendly matches, are frequently characterised by notable and controversial incidents involving both players and fans. The rivalry is unusual in that it is an intercontinental one; typically such footballing rivalries exist between countries that are close to one another, for example England–Ireland or Argentina–Brazil. England is regarded in Argentina as one of the major rivals of the national football team, matched only by Brazil, Germany and Uruguay. The rivalry is seen as equal in England – matched by rivalries with Ireland, Scotland, France, and Germany teams – partly due to non-footballing events, especially the 1982 Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom. The rivalry emerged across several games during the second half of the twentieth century. It was driven by various controversial incidents, particularly those in the games played between the teams at the 1966, 1986, 1998 and 2026 FIFA World Cups. Overall, England holds the edge in the rivalry in official matches, with six victories, to four by Argentina. In the World Cup, England and Argentina have a split head-to-head record, with three English victories (in 1962, 1966 and 2002) to Argentina's three (1986, the 1998 shoot-out victory and 2026). In knockout stage matches, Argentina leads the head-to-head record against England 3–1. Argentina eliminated England from the World Cup in 1986, 1998 and 2026, while England did the same to Argentina only in 1966.
